PTCL is bringing advertisement free World Cup 2015 for cricket lovers nationwide. To provide fans with an uninterrupted World Cup experience, PTCL has unveiled a new SmartTV application that makes World Cup matches available on mobile phones, iPads and laptops.
Not to mention, this service will run on any Internet Connection (other than PTCL services) that too without any ads.
Kamal Ahmed, Chief Digital Services Officer (CDSO) PTCL said,
“As a digital leader, PTCL understands the public pulse when it comes to digital entertainment preferences, be it on in-home screens or across handheld smart devices.”
“Being a proud supporter of Pakistan cricket team, PTCL is binding the entire Pakistani nation together to cheer for our heroes through its SmartTV platform. This PTCL service enables our customers to enjoy advertisement-free cricket experience and support their national team”
The SmartTV application makes viewing even more fun with its ‘Time Shift TV’ and ‘Pause and Rewind’ in-app features that enable viewers to rewind and re-play exciting moments. In addition to these features, PTCL subscribers also get access to 150 digital quality TV channels to watch movies through video-on-demand and TV programs through TV-on-demand. There is even a ‘Personal Video Recorder’ that enables customers to keep their favourite content for personal library.
Yasir Manzoor, GM Video Services, PTCL, said
“We recognize that the future of news and entertainment lies with over the top TV application. We constantly endeavor to provide our customers with quality content on various screens. We want to entertain our customers everywhere anytime”
How to Watch AD Free World Cup Matches
PTCL subscribers can simply download the SmartTV application from Google Playstore for Android phones (Android Tabs coming soon) or iTunes for Apple iOS devices and view the entire Cricket World Cup 2015 uninterrupted.
Once downloaded, simply use any internet connection to stream live matches.
Charges
The service is available at only Rs. 499 for the entire World Cup.
will it work outside Pakistan?
it will work if you have a ptcl connection outside Pakistan
lol I asked because no where it asks for a PTCL connection. The app just asks you to register and charge your account even with a credit card or other options. Anyone can do that in Pakistan and then go outside Pakistan and watch the matches using this app. You just need a user name and password to access your account which can be done from anywhere in the world. Now only if there is restriction by PTCL to use PTCL broadband service then it won’t work outside Pakistan.
You need to be on using one of Pakistan’s gateways to access the stream
Hahahaha love y0u brother, u jst made me ROFL .. no offence to gumby :)
Nope it only works with a PTCL connection.
No wait. Works with any connection. Also works outside of Pakistan if you have paid for it here.
have you tried outside pakistan?
Dear Author,
I already break this news before your this post
tu phir world cup apka howa.? Bhai when will we do away with all this attention wh0ring? Any estimates?
Please dont fall to the petty level of our news channels. You are better than them.
Yes. Be the kukkar, do the right thing!
That makes the “Right Doer” a kukker? :-)
May be you should embed link to Itunes and Android play store apps.
Just search for PTCL Smart TV on both devices. Make sure to set your store location on iOS as Pakistan
Need 2g or 3g
A good 3G connection or a 2 Mbps is recommended. I called PTCL and found out!
they should also focus on fault rectification. Fault takes 1 week to resolve after falling into their feet.
Pehli android app kam ni karti new launch kr di, great!
They have updated the app. Check it out, its works really nicely now!
I want to pay for this service but I’d like to be able to see whether the stream works smoothly and is good quality, widescreen or HD. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing what it looks like until you pay.
I have tired it and if you have a good connection the stream is very good. Not HD but SD which looks really good on a small screen.
Is it widescreen I mean, like the Sky Sports stream? 16:9 resolution or the normal 4:3 one?
Can’t see app on play store
Set you store location to Pakistan you will see it then.
Score on ad free channel can’t display clearly
This is simply bullshit, Propaksitani pls confirm from the source first then advertise on your page.
your remarks are:
“Not to mention, this service will run on any Internet Connection (other than PTCL services) that too without any ads.”
I have subscribed to this service and now unable to play on my 3G enabled iPad. and PTCL help line says you can watch it only on PTCL broadband or wifi.
this is simply frustrating!!!
PTCL told me themselves that it can be played with any ISP. Let me check again and confirm you.
I have given them reference of ProPakistani and they replied check our website, no such thing is mentioned on it.
Aamir I am myself playing Smart TV app on Xperia Z (Android) through Nayatel. Tested it on Telenor’s 3G too.
So, it works fine on non-PTCL internet.
Aamir Bhai, I am unable to play on my iPad on Mobilink 3G. PTCL help line confirmed me that it will work only on PTCL ISP.
secondly they are true in there claim that its not mentioned on our site that it will work on any ISP.
Sir you can trust me. I am playing it seamlessly on Nayatel. They haven’t mentioned it on their website as naturally they wouldn’t want you to use their services on other than PTCL DSL network.
Try it on any other device. You also debug it by making sure that you are not behind a proxy or a firewall.
I hope in next few days when nayatel come to know this then they will block it
Though PTCL people are bunch of – Beep Sound Here – . I am pretty sure they would have told you it can run anywhere. Also it may have been running surely for you in different connections but still on page where they have this promotion, in FAQ section they have following text as Question 10.
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).
