Dish SMRT Stick for Rs 599 Could be Better than Dish SMRT Kit Although Latter Has More Features

It is popular news in the DTH and broadcasting industry right now that Dish TV is the second most popular DTH operator in the industry. This news comes after Tata Sky has taken the top position in the industry by boasting of the most number of subscribers. However, Dish TV is retaliating to this industry phenomenon in its own way. The DTH operator has now come to know that it will have to emphasise on the OTT content-based offerings to woo the consumers. This leaning towards the OTT content has led Dish TV to launch a new Hybrid Set-Top Box for its consumers. But, there is also the fact that a lot of subscribers might not want to change their Set-Top Box for which Dish TV has two other offerings. To recall, previously Dish TV only used to offer the DishSMRT Stick for its subscribers through which they could watch OTT content, but now Dish TV has an even better offering in its portfolio for the subscribers which is the Dish SMRT Kit. Now, while the Hybrid Set-Top Box is a different offering altogether, there is a chance that the consumers might get confused between the Dish SMRT Kit and the Dish SMRT Stick. So here is a comparison between the two.

The Dish SMRT Stick works with the Dish NXT HD Set-Top Box, and the subscribers will have to make sure that they are using the Dish NXT HD Set-Top Box only for the SMRT Stick to work. Now, coming to the features of the Dish SMRT Stick, the stick will offer the subscriber access to OTT content from Zee5, ALT Balaji, Watcho, SonyLiv, Hungama etc. Also, the Dish SMRT Stick would be available for Rs 599 currently with a 6 months preview.
