Currently, X TV is in its beta phase and available on Android TVs. It will soon expand to other platforms, including LG, Amazon Fire TV, and Google TV. Early adopters are already exploring the app’s features, and their feedback is expected to guide future updates and improvements.
Key Features of X TV
According to Digit, X TV comes with several innovative features:
-Replay TV: Allows users to store up to 72 hours of shows in the cloud.
-Startover TV: Enables viewers to start any live show from the beginning, even if they join late.
-Free Cloud DVR: Users can record up to 100 hours of content at no extra cost.
These features are expected to make X TV a competitive alternative to other streaming services, enhancing user experience on the platform.
