This does confuse me a lot. It says it is a device, but at the same time it is an app? Is it able to be downloaded on FireStick? This is truly confusing.

It should be free for certain subscribers

Bros does this device need a high speed wi fi internet connection as like fire tv stick or it will connect through the TataSky STB.

Apart from our monthly subscription, do we need to pay additionally Rs.249 per month to get the device?

Yes

Hopefully, they will not put a minimal pack requirement for the same as in that case monthly bill can go beyond 500 and also Netflix I think will not be there as of now. Also what will happen in case someone already has prime account with months to go??

If device performs like other fire tv devices and main apps are there and there is no minimum restriction of packs or lower pack or so then it will be a good option as it will be given free!!!

This is just Amazon Fire Stick being given a new brand name called Binge as it's result of some partnership two parties have entered into & a different/exclusive identity has been designed.

Look at point 6 in terms and conditions mentioned about this on Tata Sky website, it clearly states that use of this device is subject to terms updated on Amazon Fire Stick webpage.

Also seems like Netflix deal which was announced few months back has been hit by some roadblock or cancelled. I hope it does not Vice India, PEN India Music Channels or Insight TV direction where after official announcement everything went in thin air

I think the service is not so useful instead of this they must have provided an option to watch live tv on Firestick.(I think we can also do this by installing apk)

Live TV and power of Firestick can be a good deal
