Watching TV is not the same experience as two years back. People watch a lot less Live TV than they watch OTT content. It makes sense as well, OTT platforms have made it very convenient for the user to stream their favourite shows on-demand. Set-Top Boxes have evolved as well. The place for traditional Set-Top Box is being replaced by the Android TV Set-Top Boxes. These Set-Top Boxes not only allow you to watch your favourite OTT content on-demand but also facilitate Live TV. Let’s take a look at some of the best Android STBs you can choose from.
Tata Sky Binge+
Tata Sky Binge+ is an Android TV STB from Tata Sky priced at Rs 3,999. On purchase, you get a free six-month subscription to Binge service. Binge service brings you subscriptions to some of the major OTT platforms such as Disney+ Hotstar, ZEE5 Premium, and more under one bundle. Along with that, you get three months of free Amazon Prime Video at absolutely no extra cost. There is a remote which you can use to navigate through different features of the Binge+ STB. It is 4K enabled so you can stream at great qualities as well. With the in-built Chromecast, you can also mirror your smartphone onto your TV.
