[Optimus_Prime]

Ok so no Live TV streaming . It may be the deal breaker for most of us.

If IPTV was present then it directly affects Airtel DTH business. So, that's why it won't be available.

Yeah, no one's gonna recharge for DTH. When Airtel Xstream gets covered in unlimited mobile plans for as low as ₹199.

Congrats bro for your exclusive review I have lot of question regarding this box.. sorry to trouble you.. how did you ordered the box? Any hidden charges apart from 2249... Whether we can sideload d 3rd party app? How's SD channel quality? What happens if wifi not working, whether we can connect the DTH channel directly? Whether they are giving free Amazon prime (my prime membership has already expired) subscription along with this box?

Congratulations for your upgrade and thanks for the exclusive review.

Do you use Fire stick? How's Amazon prime experience on this box? Is it equal to fire stick?

I used the firestick long time ago so can’t remember but the experience is good on the xstream box. I use prime video on LG WebOS and the app looks like an exact copy.
Tested 4K HDR content playback as well. No issues.

No hidden charges.
Sideloading - will have to try.
If Wifi not working- dth channels still work
SD channel quality seems nice, looked at ABP news ; although I won’t be the right person to judge as I stopped watching SD content years ago.Basically got the box for my parents room.
No clue on the prime membership.

Do u think Jio would provide IPTV , since they are not directly in DTH business?

Ok. So it's basically an android TV app. Can you please post pictures of playback screen controls on Prime video app.
