Reliance has significantly expanded the reach of its JioTV+ app, which was previously exclusive to Jio Fiber and AirFiber set-top boxes. In a move that broadens access to a wider audience, the JioTV+ app is now available on major smart TV platforms, including Android TV, Apple tvOS, and Amazon Fire OS. This expansion marks a strategic effort by Reliance to enhance the accessibility of its digital content offerings, allowing Jio Fiber and AirFiber subscribers to enjoy a vast range of entertainment options directly on their smart TVs.
Despite this broader availability, it’s important to note that the service remains selectively accessible. Only users subscribed to specific Jio Fiber and AirFiber plans can avail themselves of the JioTV+ app on their smart TVs. This selective access ensures that only a targeted group of subscribers can enjoy the comprehensive entertainment package offered by JioTV+, which includes access to over 800 live TV channels and content from more than 13 OTT platforms.
JioTV+ is designed to be a one-stop destination for all entertainment needs, offering users the ability to browse through live TV channels and stream content from popular OTT platforms like Hotstar, Netflix, and Prime Video. However, this access is part of specific Jio Fiber and Jio AirFiber plans. Subscribers to these plans can now use the JioTV+ app on multiple devices, a feature that significantly enhances the app’s usability and convenience.
To unlock the content offerings of JioTV+, eligible users must have a smart TV connected to a Jio Wi-Fi network. The app is available for download on several modern smart TVs, including those powered by Android TV, Apple tvOS, and Amazon Fire OS. This compatibility with various smart TV platforms means that JioTV+ is now more accessible than ever, provided that users meet the necessary conditions for subscription and connectivity.
Accessing JioTV+ on a smart TV is straightforward for eligible users. They need to log in to the app using their registered mobile number associated with their JioFiber or JioAirFiber account. After entering their details, users will receive a one-time password (OTP) for authentication. Upon verification of the OTP, they can start using the app and enjoy a wide array of live TV channels and OTT content.
JioTV+ is bundled with specific Jio Fiber and AirFiber plans. For Jio Fiber users, the app is available with prepaid plans starting at ₹999 per month, offering a robust 150Mbps speed. Postpaid users can access JioTV+ with plans starting at ₹599 per month, which includes unlimited data at a speed of 30Mbps. Jio AirFiber users can access the app with a base plan of ₹599, which offers 1000GB of data at 30Mbps. These plans are designed to cater to a range of user needs, from basic to premium, ensuring that subscribers can choose a plan that fits their usage requirements.
The JioAirFiber service comes with a range of plans to suit different needs:
JioAirFiber Base Plan: ₹599 per month, including 1000GB of data at 30Mbps.
JioFiber Postpaid Plans: ₹599, ₹899, and above, each offering varying data limits and speeds.
JioFiber Prepaid Plans: Starting from ₹999 and above, with different data and speed options to cater to diverse user needs.
These plans are structured to provide users with seamless access to the JioTV+ app, ensuring that they can enjoy their favorite shows and movies without any interruptions.
The JioTV+ app is packed with features designed to enhance the viewing experience. One of the standout features is the single-login option, which allows users to access multiple OTT apps without the hassle of logging in separately for each platform. This convenience is further complemented by advanced features like modern program guides, smart remote compatibility, playback speed control, Catch-up TV, and personalized content recommendations.
JioTV+ also offers a user-friendly interface that includes filters by category and language, making it easier for users to find the content they want. The app’s seamless integration with popular OTT platforms such as JioCinema Premium, Disney+ Hotstar, Sony Liv, Zee5, and FanCode provides users with a diverse range of entertainment options, all accessible through a single app.
In addition to the extensive library of live TV channels and OTT content, the JioTV+ app features a dedicated kids' section with curated content suitable for younger viewers. This ensures that the app caters to the entire family, offering something for everyone.
The app is available for download on the Google Play Store, Android TV, Apple TV, and Amazon Firestick TV. Moreover, support for LG OS-powered TVs is expected to roll out soon, further expanding the app’s compatibility with various smart TV platforms.
Conclusion: Expanding Access While Maintaining Exclusivity
The expansion of JioTV+ to smart TVs represents a significant step in Reliance’s strategy to broaden its digital content reach. By making the app available on multiple platforms, Reliance is ensuring that more users can access its rich content offerings. However, by limiting access to select users with specific Jio Fiber and AirFiber plans, the company maintains an element of exclusivity, ensuring that the service remains a premium offering for its subscribers. As Jio continues to innovate and expand its services, the JioTV+ app is likely to become an integral part of the digital entertainment experience for many users across India.
