Reliance Jio will add another feather to its cap by launching the DTH connection along with Jio Fiber. This DTH service will also be called Jio Home TV and will be available with a very cheap and affordable set top box. It is said that Jio Home TV will have Enhanced Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS) technology.
Since the launch of Jio Fiber is being delayed, reason being, it is a mammoth project plus some issues with the governmental authorities. Therefore, Reliance Jio, for the time being has shifted its focus towards setting up Jio DTH services.
The Jio DTH set top box does not need a broadband connection, it just requires the interested users to get themselves registered by filling in all their required details. The Jio DTH connection will be much cheaper and will be available at very reasonable rates than the other high cost DTH connections. So, customers thinking of dumping their current digital TV connections can surely replace them with the amazing Jio Home TV DTH connection.
Below are given some major details about Jio DTH aka Jio Home TV:
Launch Date: Diwali 2018 (tentative)

Free Subscription: Yes, Jio DTH will offer free subscription for three months like the rest of the Reliance Jio services.
