STB for IPTV Service of Reliance Jio Fiber

[yougotmehere]

@MSR Murthy great find. Gives more insights aswell on other competitor offerings. The game has just begun. It appears Airtel is also planning to launch the Xstream Launch Box but i guess they'll just fuck up on the prices like they did with the last IPTV box. In addition to it, Tata Sky is also lauching an Android Box in Sep'19 with free trials of OTT apps.

DDF Exclusive - New Android TV STB from Airtel : Xstream Smart Box

In addition to the new Xstream Smart Stick, Airtel is also replacing its "Internet TV", released in 2017. The STB is called the Xstream Smart Box, runs Android TV 9.0 and comes with a dual DVB-S2 tuner, of course. The manufacturer is Technicolor (who bought LG's STB business in 2017)...

Any information about price of Jio iptv STB? Or it will be free for those who have purchased Jio Gigafiber by Rs4500?

 

[Shubham]

It most probably will be free. It's a bundle offer.

 

[MSR]

I gathered that Rs 1500 refundable deposit is payable towards STB, over and above paid for router. Reasons not clear though.

 

[Shubham]

Any news on the availability of STB? When can we apply for it?

 

[MSR]

Expecting STBs to reach us within a week or two at Hyderabad. Befriend your jio engineer and he may give the correct status of your city/ area. Now looks like sales and services depts are merged.

Since you are in Hyderabad , can you provide number of some Jio fibre engineers for follow up ? I live in Hyderabad

 

[MSR]

Only parts of Hyd so far is jio ready. If you are not finding jio ofc cables and optical junction boxes in your area and banners that your house/ area is not ready for jio service, you may have to wait. The banner contains the contact number of jio engineer to be contacted.
