  • I dont understand one thing here .. for 2 mb its 600 rs but for 10 mb its 200 rs. . i m confused. lower bandwidth speed should be higher and higher should be lower .. isnt it ??

    Also are these bandwidth charges seperate from rs. 600 per month of jadoo plus ?? so it means that if i will get this service.. i have to pay TOTAL rs 800 per month for 10 mb bandwidth + jadoo plus + 10000 rs one time device charges ???

    please coorect me :)

    • The mentioned charges will sum up with your existing PTCL broadband
      (depending on your subscription). For example if you have 2mbps
      broadband connection and you’re paying around Rs 1600/month for the
      service, an additional sum of rs. 600 will be charged for the Smart TV Jadoo Plus.

      As for the device, It is a ‘popbox v8’. And there is an installment
      option of 2 years for the device. (600 rupees per month along with the
      service charges).

      • ok … i have 3 tv sets in the home .. i wonder how will i be able to share all of them using this service ? if this is the satellite reciever type device then i dont think it will be possible? anyone has any idea ?

  • Previously there was presstv in the list and it was found at 100, but now its not there.

  • NayaTel and others in the same price bracket are giving much less than what PTCL is offering. You can call the helpline to get a detailed overview of the packages, I just went for 10mb one, better to go for more than less!!!

    • You should have a 10mb connection for that, if you are ordering 10mb package for jadoo plus.

      P.S price is too much its should be flat for all the users

  • I think it is the best digital tv package available in the market. PTCL is offering a better range of channels and services. I would definitely opt for PTCL instead of others, because they are giving the best rates.

  • Joke of the century.i call ptcl and they said all channels will be offered in HD quality

    and 2nd thing who already have smart tv services can throw their stb and pay for new one to get these services

    PTCL u seriously need some help, dont u know whn u upgrade service u have to think about exisiting loyal customers first.

    • Actually they are doing the same as DISHTV done when they offered DISHTRU HD .. People had to buy the new ones .. and get rid of old ones by theirselves …
      OSN did the right thing, they just replaced the old ones with the new HD supported devices.

      • U know tatasky and dish tv still have upgrade offers, they are paying for old stbs to their loyal customers,

        and ptcl is not offering hd channels right now. check on ptcl site

        Q16. What quality should I expect from Smart TV Jadoo Plus?
        Best quality can be seen on TV channels.

        • i think they will be converting the existing sd to HD. like dishtv .. they dont have all the TRUE HD channels.. some of those channels are just software converted to HD only …it can be checked if PTCL offer ESPN HD or not ? bcz on ESPN HD. . its clearly written in their logo :)

    • Iv heard that they will start buying the old units off PTCL`s existing customers. Hold on to yours, they will announce it soon. Iv heard the channels will be in HD, lets c wut happens. Other than that it a good launch and will turn out to be a good service.

  • This is not any thing new, in many countries it is already available and it is not bound to PTCL. It needs only running internet connection of at least 2Mb. Only selected channels are in HD and its open market price is $250. Further details, http://jadootv.com/

  • Another thing i want to add is that almost a year ago i’d heard that it takes 2 to 3 seconds in switching a channel which is of course hell of time so don’t forget to inquire about this problem.
