Since there are so many streaming platforms currently available, we hardly watch any content on regular TV channels other than the daily news. I had subscribed to Netflix and Amazon Prime in 2016 and that was my source of content for all the web series and English / Foreign language movies. Then in 2019 TataSky (at that time it was TataSky) came-up with an binge offer on Amazon Fire Stick that provided access to Disney+ Hotsar, Sony Liv, Zee5, Voot Select, erosNow and few other lesser know streaming platforms all at the cost of 299 per month. This was very good bargain. Airtel also came-up with Airtel xStream with some similar offerings. 

Since I had the Airtel connect (both landline + mobile) I was getting access to Airtel xStream basic version and was able to view that in Web browser. I tried to install the Airtel xStream App on another Android TV. I hat to side load that App as it was available only for Android Mobile and not Android TV. Since it was meant for Android Mobile I could not use it much.

Then last year (2021) I upgraded to TataPlay Binge+  and 4K supported Android TV box and continued enjoy all the 10 to 12 Streaming Apps. 

Recently I am across a trailer of movie Jungle Cry on YouTube. When I tried to explore on which streaming platform, to my shock I found that it was not available on any of the Streaming platforms to which I had the access, but it was on some lesser known platform Lionsgate Play. I found that TataPlay Binge+ was not having Lionsgate Play as part of its package. Next I found that Amazon Prime was providing that, but you need pay additional subscription fee to access Lionsgate Play content in the Prime which I was not willing to do.

At around same time, I got a notification in my mobile from AirtelThanks App that I can get to access Airtel xStream Premium one year for free, and after that I will be charged. When I explored further I found that Airtel xStream Premium was having Lionsgate Play as part of its package. So immediately took the offer from Airtel.

Now comes the next part. How to go about watch it. I opened the Airtel xStream App on web browser (http://airtelxtream.in)  and tried to access the Jungle Cry movie. It showed a message stating I can access it only on the Airtel TV App. I did not wanted to watch that movie on mobile.  So the next option was to see if I can install the Airtel xStream App on my TataPlay Binge+ Android TV box.





I went to to the Google Play store on TataPlay Bingle+ Android TV, App was available. Installed it, logged in using my Mobile number. Bingo..... I was able to access access all the content of Airtel xStream App on TataPlay Binge+ box.

So now it is great that I can access both TataPlay Binge offerings and Airtel xStream offerings in one box.

I guess reverse scenario also must be possible, that is ability to install TataPlay Bingle+ App on Airtel xStream box. 

Unfortunately another leading mobile provider app Jio TV App is not available yet on Android TV yet, hence we will not be combine them in one box.
