Comparing the two best platforms to watch live TV

Jio TV vs Airtel TV The Best Live TV Streaming

Jio TV vs Airtel TV Options Available

• Jio TV
• On the Jio TV app, you have an impressive 583 TV
  channels live to choose from, though your mileage
  may vary a little in terms of what you'll
  actually get to watch.
• This also includes channels like Jio Events, Jio
  1, Jio Sports, as well, so not all 583 channels
  are live TV channels either.
• Airtel TV
• On the other hand, Airtel TV has 'only' 368
  channels, putting it well behind Jio TV in this
  regard. 
• This disparity also becomes really clear when you
  start looking at languages outside Hindi - Airtel
  TV has 110 Hindi channels, and Jio TV 173 - while
  Tamil and Telugu channels are at 45 and 44
  respectively on Airtel TV, with Jio TV having 60
  of each.

Jio TV vs Airtel TV User Interface
Airtel TV
Jio TV

• Drop down menus let you select the categories and
  languages, and there's a simple button to tap to
  list only HD channels.
• It's a huge step forward from the original design
  that Jio TV had launched with, but it's
  definitely utilitarian.
• Features such as recordings are not readily
  apparent, and although the overall interface is
  usable, there's little by way of personalisation.

• The home page of Airtel TV shows a mix of VOD and
  live TV - there are cards for shows you can play
  on demand, and there are channel cards that you
  can tap to launch a live channel.
• There's a lot of curation of the VOD content, and
  there are even cards showing content from YouTube
  such as short films.

Jio TV vs Airtel TV Data Usage

• Jio TV
• Playing a HD channel for 10 minutes on Jio TV
  consumes around 250MB.
• When you're watching a video (but only in full
  screen mode), you'll see a settings button in the
  player, and if you tap on that, you will see
  a Quality button. Here, your options
  are Automatic, High, Medium, and Low.
• This applies for each playback - there's no
  global menu setting for quality.
• Airtel TV
• Airtel TV lets you choose from three quality
  settings, and at the High quality, it consumed
  around 300MB after ten minutes. We repeated the
  process on the Medium setting, and consumption
  had come down to about 150MB, although visually,
  the picture still looks fine on a phone screen.
• When the quality is set to Low the image quality
  visibly degrades, and subtitles in particular
  aren't readable anymore, but the picture is still
  clear enough to watch in a pinch, and the data
  usage comes down to about 75MB to 80MB for 10
  minutes.
