But buddy linear channels are available via YouTube, YuppTV, Sony Liv, Zee5 and many similar apps. So you don't really need any device to watch satellite channels. This is for users who don't have wired internet seeking to watch something different on a weekend or users who are getting DTH service bundled with their telecom and internet plans.
Dada,,accessing TV Channels on apps is 1stly not easy, very mostly and it is difficult to toggle/manage different apps to watch favorite channels.
As i have said people r opting for smart / Android boxes of Different DTH / Cable Operators bcoz it offers conveniently, affordability , lot better viewing experience as compared to streaming channels online and alongside they can opt/watch their favorite content on OTT too
