Big Update: Tata Play Brings All TV Channels to Mobile Devices – ANN News Now Accessible Anytime, Anywhere
Srinagar, Aug 24: In a major technological leap, Tata Play (formerly Tata Sky) has announced that subscribers can now watch all their TV channels directly on mobile phones, laptops, and tablets through the Tata Play mobile application. This means customers no longer need to be restricted to their television sets at home.
With this new feature, every Tata Play subscriber can log into the app using the same registered mobile number linked to their dish connection and enjoy seamless access to live TV channels. Notably, Kashmir’s only news channel ANN News is also available on Tata Play App on channel numbers 2053 and 8223, under both the English and Urdu packages.
Satellite + OTT: A Changing Media Landscape
Industry experts highlight that this move reflects how satellite TV providers are adapting to the OTT (Over-The-Top) revolution, ensuring that customers enjoy flexibility and mobility. While platforms like Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and Amazon Prime have changed the way people consume entertainment, satellite operators are now providing the same comfort—live channels on-the-go—bridging the gap between traditional broadcasting and modern digital convenience.
Sky Go (UK): British satellite operator Sky provides subscribers the option to watch live TV and on-demand shows via smartphones and tablets, complementing its dish service.
Dish Anywhere (USA): Dish Network offers customers access to all their TV content on mobile and laptops without additional charges.
Tata Play Binge (India): Alongside live TV, Tata Play also integrates OTT platforms like Zee5, SonyLIV, and Disney+ Hotstar under a single subscription.
With such technology, customers sitting anywhere in the world can carry their favorite TV channels in their pockets. For regions like Jammu & Kashmir, this ensures uninterrupted access to local, national, and global news—whether on a laptop at work, a mobile phone while traveling, or a tablet at home.
The shift also proves that satellite technology is no longer limited to just television sets but is evolving into a universal digital service, competing head-to-head with OTT platforms while ensuring subscribers don’t miss live news, sports, or entertainment.
ANN News’s presence on Tata Play mobile app further strengthens its reach, allowing viewers across India and abroad to stay connected with Kashmir’s first and only news television channel—anytime, anywhere.
