Gadget Review - Dor TV
Dor TV is India’s first subscription TV service launched by Streambox Media. It integrates the latest TV tech with a comprehensive OTT suite powered by Dor OS. I tried the 43” Dor TV with access to 24+ essential OTT platforms, 300+ channels and a slick solar powered remote. The QLED TV is razor sharp with spectacular colours and 4K UHD resolution as well as Dolby Audio Sound with a nifty solar remote.
Dor TV support made it very easy to install and set up the TV and I only had a single sign-on eliminating the need to keep track of multiple accounts. At launch some of the platforms include Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, and JioCinema, and there’s a wonderful companion app, which allows me to watch Dor TV content in up to 5 mobile devices.
