Netflix is now rolling out on Reliance Jio Fiber

Same here @Yjg

I guess it will come late to new users, when you got installation done?

I've been a user for 2 years. Not new by any standards

They are randomly releasing the updates for the STB it seems. Not based on any rule like area wise or the duration of the connection. I am a customer since April 2019 and still haven't got the latest update whereas many people who just joined this month have got it.
It is a matter of waiting patiently (like it is always with Jio).
'Random' and 'Gradual' sums up whatever changes Jio makes.

Agreed @ap99.

Got the Netflix update on STB but it was freaky. My Tv controls the STB. I usually put the STB in standby mode, but today at 5 AM the TV switched on automatically and STB demo started playing. I was scared to death to go to the living room

Any idea what may have happened ? Should I be switching off the STB completely at night ? Don’t want another horror incidence lol

Also, are there any advantages of Playing Netflix through the STB vs the Netflix app installed on the TV’s software directly ?

Don't worry. Don't scream. Neighbors will disturb

It's feature to wake the device when it's in sleep mode.
When the tv or stb on, it trigers the other devices to unlock from sleep/stanby mode. That is a feature, hdmi ports support that.

Standby mode is like locking the screen in mobile. It's not powering off. To save stb and power switchoff at nights and not going to use for long hours.

No.

No, I have a samsung series 7 TV and the inbuilt Netflix app is quite good. You will be saving power if you keep the STB off and watch directly on TV if you want to watch Netflix only
