Watcho is a video streaming app designed primarily for Indian users, offering a rich selection of original web series, spotlight shows, Tamil short films, and live Hindi TV shows from various channels.
Installation and Subscription
You can easily download the Watcho app on your smartphone from the Google Play Store. However, full access to all of its content requires a monthly or annual subscription. The app eliminates the need to have DISH Anywhere for remote access to Dish TV and D2H.
Free for D2H and Dish TV Subscribers
For subscribers of Dish TV and D2H, the Watcho app is available at no additional cost. With a running paid subscription to Dish TV and D2H, users get complimentary access to premium content on Watcho. This includes original web programs, spotlight shows, and other offered services.
Competitive Positioning
The launch of Watcho is an attempt by Dish TV to keep pace with the mobile advancements made by its competitors. While the content available on the platform may be less due to its relative novelty, the quantity of offerings is progressively increasing.
Access and Authentication
Dish TV or D2H users logging into the app are required to input the RMN of their Dish account. Upon entry, an OTP is sent which must be entered to complete the login process. The app enables on-the-go access to Dish TV or D2H services, eliminating the need for Dish Anywhere.
Conclusion
Watcho is an ideal choice for a video and live TV streaming platform for Dish TV or D2H subscribers, offering a diverse array of content beyond the live TV channels available on Dish TV and D2H. The app comes at no extra cost for Dish TV and D2H subscribers, included in their existing package plan.
