Is Jio going to provide cable TV in their Set Top Box via a Hathway connection?

I noticed today that in the My Jio app if I click on 'Link Account', I see the following options:


I don't remember seeing the 'Hathway' option earlier. I think it has been added recently.

Anyways, I clicked on the Hathway option and got the following screen:



Since I have a Hathway cable connection, I entered the Virtual Card (VC) number of my Set Top Box and clicked on 'Generate OTP'. I got the following message:


(In the above screenshot, I have not entered my actual VC number for security purposes. But I got the same message when I entered my actual VC number.)

So it is possible that in the coming days Jio might enable cable TV for its Set Top Box with the help of a Hathway connection. Lets see.

You can now link your Hathway cable account in the 'My Jio' app and manage it via the app. The Jio app has provided all the functionalities like recharging, adding channels, seeing which channels are activated, expiry date, etc.
This is an excellent thing considering that Hathway's own app is shit.

SMS received from Jio:
Dear Subscriber, Now you can renew and manage your Hathway Cable TV Subscription from your MyJio App. Link your Hathway Connection on My Jio and explore all the options available.

So the possibility of Jio using Hathway in the JioFiber STB for Live TV service is more now.
