Interest Survey for a affordable IPTV service

[OneTapHero]

Hello TE members!
I'm exploring the feasibility of introducing an IPTV service for the members here. I would value input from the community on fair pricing and expectations.
Below are the proposed specs:

• 1,000+ popular live channels (Indian regional, sports, news, entertainment + international)
• 1080p resolution (source-dependent)
• Full electronic program guide
• Number of devices per playlist is scalable (higher the number of devices used, higher the price of the plan)
• Catch-Up TV for supported channels
• Minimal buffering
• Plan duration of 28 days

What monthly price would you consider fair for this service? Looking forward to your feedback!

Anything below ₹200 makes sense

It's a great idea but my input would be to also consider services like samsung tv plus, and lg has a similar service, they provide tv channels for free.. ig your service needs to have channels different from those in order to justify being paid.. As for price I'd say ₹200- 250 pm
Also why is the duration 28 days instead of 30?

Pricing?

2 days less a month add upto 13 months a year..
so 1 month extra cost/earnings..

Would it be feasible for you to offer a subscription plan where users can select specific channels? For example.
I’d like to subscribe to just 10-15 channels at a minimal cost or pay per channel?

Pay per channel is not feasible for me.
I can only customise the IPTV playlist to have TV channels of a specific language/category (sports/entertainment/movies/etc) for convenience

I know the concept, but I think it makes more sense on prepaid services.. This is an alternate to a dth service ig and dth services use proportional billing, no?

How will the service be given? Is it app based or a hardware device like JIO / airtel IPTV is currently rolling out?

You can install Tivimate/OTT Navigator/Sparkle app on your Android TV/Phone. You'll be provided with a playlist URL that you can add in the app and start watching live channels

How many devices are supported for simultaneously playing at a time? i.e. one phone - one android TV will this work or is it limited to only one device at a time. The premise looks interesting.

 

[nsas02]

Possible to get the channels list?

How to apply/ do payment? Also, how can I access on Android?

 

[nsas02]

how can I access on Android?

And also on WebOS

It is simply a playlist, you need an IPTV player that can handle playlists. Not sure on WebOS but Tizen OS on Samsung had a few free ones with basic features, though it is not worth paying the exorbitant prices on those platforms.

On Android TV, have been using Televizo for Jio and free channel playlists for the past several months mainly because it is well priced compared to the subscription based solutions or expensive one-time purchases offered by other IPTV players.

Do you expect official subscriptions to be included? That is not going to happen, at best you might get some titles from those platforms as part of the VOD service, in which case, just opt for one of the Debrid services which comes to less than 300 per month and provides access to content from all OTTs around the world.

The playlist is linked to one device and can be watched on that device

Please DM me to apply. You can use the playlist on Android using Tivimate/OTT Navigator/Sparkle app

And also on WebOS

There isn't good IPTV players on WebOS afaik. There is a homebrew workaround but no IPTV players in that for now
