Jio TV+ Streaming Platform For Jio Set-Top Box Announced

Reliance Jio rolled out Jio GigaFiber last year and it already has 500,000 customers countrywide and still growing. All Jio GigaFiber users received a set-top box, complimentary with the GigaFiber connection. The set-top box enables users to enjoy OTT services on their TV sets. And Jio TV+ was the app for obtaining the services from all platforms at a single application.

Although the Jio TV+ app was a single stop for obtaining complete entertainment on your TV, it was very complicated to use for many users.

Hence, Reliance Jio has decided to address this issue and provide a massive update for the Jio TV+ application in order to make it much easier to use for all.

The new Jio TV+ app will have all the entertainment options from all the abovementioned OTT platforms in a single app. Also, to log in to all these OTT apps, Jio will now have a single-click process instead of logging in to all the apps separately.

Moreover, to assist the process of searching the content to watch next Jio TV+ will also have the functionality of Voice Search. This feature was even demonstrated in the Reliance AGM. You can search the name of any actor, director, singer, producer, etc and obtain all content from the artist present on all of these platforms.

Another feature discussed in the event was the very innovative and one of its kind, Interactive Live TV. This feature is a revolutionary feature being introduced by Reliance Jio which can potentially change the Live TV watching experience altogether.

The feature works such that make live TV watching experience a two-way communication. As demonstrated in the event, you will be able to vote for your favorite participant in a game show such as Big Boss and see the results based on what other viewers choose in real-time.
