Wish to watch JioTV on your Smart TV or Laptop/PC: here’s how

The JioTV app is very reliable to watch many TV channels on the platform in various languages. But right now it is limited to Android smartphones or tablets and Jio set-top boxes. Instead of this, there is a way to download and install it on a Laptop/PC or Smart TV.

The JioTV app is very popular among Reliance Jio customers. It offers a wide range of channels that you can watch for free if you have an active Jio connection. That means you do not need to subscribe to the app to watch any channel or show within the app. It is like a full package of TV entertainment along with other benefits like JioTV exclusive channels. The Jio customers can relate to it very well.

So just talk about the Benefits of JioTV

• The app offers more than 600 TV channels that include around 100 HD channels.
• You can find many channels in regional languages as well for local viewers around India.
• For that much variety, you can get many movies, sports, shows, news, etc content on the app.
• You can catch up with programs for seven days, which is a great thing.
• Also, you can pause and play the channels if you wish.
• It is absolutely free for Reliance Jio customers.
• The app is very much user-friendly and you can control it very easily.
• You can watch exclusive channels like JioSprots or JioFootball etc.

But the main negative thing you can find from the App is that it is only available on Android phones or tablets and Jio set-top boxes. The company is yet to release the app for PC/Laptops or Smart TVs.

So, the question arises that is there any way to watch it on those devices? Well, you can still download and install it on such devices to watch it on a larger screen.
