Users can download the Airtel Xstream app on their Android TVs via the Google Play Store.
Users will not be able to watch Live TV via the app.
The app gives users access to curated movies and TV shows, the same found on the mobile app.
Airtel’s Xstream service gives customers access to a curated list of English and vernacular content along with live TV channels on their smartphone. Now the cord-cutting generation can enjoy the Airtel Xstream library of content on their Android TV. Users should note that the curated list of content is there on the Android TV app, but it does not have the live TV channels the service offers. When used on a smartphone, the service gives users access to 350+ live channels. It makes sense not to offer the same on the TV as then people would have no reason to move to an Airtel Set-top-box.
