What is Dish SMRT Stick

Dish SMRT Stick is simply a USB Wi-Fi dongle that can be attached to the STB to give you access to a world of OTT apps and their content. Dish TV has said that in case a user wants to access this service, he/she will have to connect his/her Dish NXT HD STB to any available Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot through the Dish SMRT Stick. SMRT Stick can be attached to the USB port of the STB.

Note that the Wi-Fi frequency supported by this product is 2.4 GHz. It would have been better had it supported a connection with the 5 GHz Wi-Fi network as well because then it could get even better bandwidth for playing content in high resolution for the users.

Dish TV suggests that for a decent expereince with the Dish SMRT Stick, users should have an internet connection with 4 Mbps speed or more. The apps available on the platform aren’t necessarily free. Platforms such as ZEE5, Docubay, Watcho, Hungama Play, Eros Now and more will be available for users with the Dish SMRT Stick.
