“This product promises to make your existing TV into a smart TV and ensure connectivity with the world. We are enabling convergence of TV, DTH and internet all in one place,” he said.

Tata Sky in a statement said the service will be available at no additional cost to its subscribers, in the coming months.

“We don’t look at ourselves as a DTH operator. We are a content distribution platform. The scope of that is defined by what content, which medium, what screen the subscriber wants. That is the level of convergence that Tata Sky is looking at achieving,” Tata Sky Chief Executive Officer Harit Nagpal said.
