Reliance Jio offers a slew of apps to its subscribers free of cost which includes the likes of JioMusic, JioMoney and JioTV. Out of these many apps, the JioTV application has been favourite of many users since it avails many live channels and video on demand content easily to the users. Now, the JioTV application has got another feather on its cap as now the application boasts of airing 621 live TV channels. Also, the number of channels which JioTV is providing on the application is more than what any Direct to Home (DTH) service is providing. This move has also brought the Reliance JioTV app ahead of other OTT applications like Vodafone Play and Airtel TV since none of these apps offers as many channels as Reliance JioTV.
