Possible Jio DTH launch date Going by the information we have in hand, Reliance Jio is planning to introduce the DTH service with Jio Fiber Broadband. This means that the cable for the internet will provide the cable connection too. Jio is now laying optical fiber links under the ground in the urban areas. The company is taking care of the Jio broadband administration right now. Once this is done, we can expect the DTH service to be launched. It is reasonable to expect the Jio DTH launch date to fall after April 2017.

Jio DTH channels 

As per the information known before, the Jio DTH will provide 432 channels via the set top box. Of these, around 350 will be normal SD channels and over 50 will be HD channels that can be watched in 4K resolution. For now, there are channels such as Colors TV, Sony, Star Network, ZEE Network, Star Spots, Ten Sports, DD Spots, ABP News, ZEE News, Aaj Tak, India News, almost all regional channels and English movie channels. Jio is believed to add more channels in the near future


Jio DTH price

 Going by the source, the Jio DTH service is expected to be priced between Rs. 180 and Rs. 200 per month. There is no denying that Jio wants to provide services at the cheapest cost as it did with the 4G services. Likewise, in the DTH segment too, the service provider is aiming to provide the cheapest plans in comparison to the others.

Jio DTH Welcome Offer 

Though the exact launch date of the Jio DTH service is not known, it is strongly believed that the company will launch it with the Welcome Offer as it did with the 4G service back in September 2016. Under the Welcome Offer, we can expect free services for a minimum of three months. There are claims that Jio DTH might get six months of free services too. But we need to wait for an official confirmation about the same.


Various Jio DTH packs

 As per the source, the Jio DTH service might be unveiled with these plans given below. Of course, we can expect more packs to be added after the launch of the service. 
JIO DTH Basic Home Pack 
JIO Silver DTH Plans

 JIO Platinum Pack for DTH
 JIO DTH My Plans (with customized channels)

Jio DTH has a slew of ports 

The leaked Jio DTH box shows that it has HDMI support, capability for 4K recording streaming in Ultra HD 2160p, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Google Chrome Casting, remote control, RF-45 Ethernet cable, and Android TV functionality as well.

Jio DTH competition

 With free DTH service for three or six months and cheap services from Rs. 100 onwards after the free offers, the Jio DTH service sounds pretty impressive. However, this isn't officially confirmed by Jio as yet. If this turns out to be true, the incumbent operators will face a potential threat as their service cost a minimum of Rs. 300.
