Hi Ajay, Harshit, Thank you so much for your detailed mails. Would you know if Apple TV would have accessibility all across the app interfaces?
May i also request any Jio user to share their experience regarding the accessibility of the JIO setup box? I did not find airtel set top box too great in terms of accessibility. & like i said, it also trails in terms of OS updates. is Airtel stick any different or is it something that is the same except the option to subscribe chanels? Sorry for too many questions, but i just want to probably pickup the best option possible, now that i made up my mind to do away with the existing setup. Thank you, Bharat.
