BSNL has started testing a new Live TV app that lets people watch both Live TV and OTT (Over-the-Top) services in one app. Right now, the service is only being tested in Madhya Pradesh, but it might be available in more areas later.
Available Only in Madhya Pradesh
The new Live TV and OTT service is currently being tested only for BSNL FTTH customers in Madhya Pradesh. This could be an exciting new feature for BSNL users if it becomes available to more people in the future.
How to Use the Service
If you are in Madhya Pradesh and a BSNL FTTH customer, here’s how you can try out the new service:
- Download and install the app from the Google Play Store on your Android TV (Download).
- Register for the service by giving a missed call to +919424700333 from your registered mobile number.
Once you’ve registered, you can enjoy Live TV and OTT services for free while the testing is happening. There are no extra charges for this, and it won’t use your FTTH data.
What to Know Before Using
The app is only available for Android TV right now, so it won’t work on Android phones. Also, if you are outside Madhya Pradesh, you’ll have to wait for the service to be available in your area.
Problems with the App
Some people have reported an issue with the app. After installing, they get an “Important Update” error. The app keeps downloading the update repeatedly, and users get stuck in a loop. Because of this, they cannot open the app.
BSNL is likely working on fixing this, but for now, users will need to wait for the issue to be solved.
No Official Launch Date Yet
BSNL has not announced when the app will officially launch. Right now, it’s still in the testing phase, and we don’t know when it will be available for everyone. After testing in Madhya Pradesh, we might see it expand to more areas and maybe even to mobile devices.
Conclusion
BSNL’s new Live TV app brings together both Live TV and OTT content in one place. Right now, only people in Madhya Pradesh can test the service, but it may be available in other areas later.
For now, if you are in Madhya Pradesh, you can try the service for free. Hopefully, the issue with the app will be fixed soon, and BSNL will provide a smooth experience for all users when the app fully launches.
