Hello Bharat, Amazon Fire Stick seems to be the best option for you. Do not go for Jio Set top box. It has no accessibility feature.

For example, Amazon's prime video is fairly accessible whereas it is not the same for other OTT apps. Since you want to use only OTT apps without paying for channels, different options are: 1. Amazon's Firestick (which uses Amazon's Fire OS)-Suggested by Ajay above 2. Airtel's Xtreme stick (which supports only OTT apps) unlike Airtel Xtreme box (which is a hybrid streaming device having both ott and channels) 3. Jio fibre connection with settop box. It will give broadband connection with smart settop box (with only OTT apps without channel). Its rental is 707/- per month for broadband+14 OTT apps (excluding prime video and netflix). However, its accessibility has to be ascertained by someone who has used it. + On 4/11/23, Ajay Minocha <ajayminoc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Fire TV stick is perfect for this use-case. > Apple TV is too overpriced. > Fire TV stick has a separate tab where all the live tv channels are > grouped from the apps you have subscribed to. > Tip: wait for an Amazon sale and buy the tv stick 4k max version. you > will get a very good deal. > > On 11/04/2023, Bharat <bhara...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> Thank you for your response.
