As you might have already read about PTCL’s Smart TV App on this website, particularly about their World Cup offer that includes AD-Free Live streaming of entire Cricket World Cup on your Smartphones (Android and iOS) Laptops or PCs.
With Smart TV App, you don’t have to miss your favourite cricketing moments while on the go, even when in Office, university, college or even while you are on the road.
Not to mention, AD-Free world cup cricket matches is a rare treat that PTCL is offering for the first time in Pakistan. The amount of ADs that are shown during live world cup cricket matches is so humongous that we usually watch cricket match during ads.
Check here about what people had to say about AD-Free World Cup on Twitter.

List of Channels on Smart TV App
The PTCL Smart TV app has 150 live TV channels available for viewing. These include all major Pakistani channels and PEMRA approved international channels.
Below is the list of available channels with Smart TV app:
One thing is not being made clear and that is if you use evo device to stream through ptcl smart TV app, will my data be used for that streaming or ptcl smart TV streaming will not account for data usage? Because nowadays we have 30gb limit on evo devices. So if data is used then this becomes a non sense service at least for evo subscribers.
I am not sure but yes your data-limit will be consumed.
I am having the worst experiece on Mobiink 3G ever.. Ever since that match started I am not even able to connect to mobile data any more. Bara kehtay hain 10 MHZ ka solid connection.. MY ass!!
today there was a problem with Mobilnk 3G. Now recovered
if that’s how it works then mobilink is having continuous problem with 3G in peshawar.
plus I am furious about them, they have 3g coverage near my house. but it ends exactly 30 feet from my house and I have 2G at my house. Means they have not upgraded my tower yet and upgraded the adjacent tower from 2 months.
aamir bhai can u plz confirm about data limit consumption and reply? thanks.
Hello Jameel Hussain, the data consumed by PTCL Smart TV App will not affect limit of packages. As long as you are on ptcl network.
is it possible to log-in on multiple devices (say laptop+ Android) with the same user id & password.
Yes, I am using it on two devices.
The quality of cricket live streaming is very good yaar, Also no ads within Match. I was in Islamabad Leaders Summit held yesterday in Islamabad where people were given experiences of Smart TV App by PTCL.
And also ptcl website States that you have to be in ptcl network to be able to stream
I was on Nayatel and Telenor 3G, and it streamed seamlessly.
Q10: Why can’t I log in?
A: The app is for PTCL broadband and EVO
customers only. Please make sure you are using PTCL broadband to access
the PTCL Smart TV app. Please note that a single username will work with
1 mobile device, 1 tablet, and 1 PC only (one screen at a time).
