a) Hotstar works well on the browser in my TV. I tried watching GoT on it and it ran very smoothly on 1080p resolution; and it ran full screen I wonder why it doesn't run on some users' TV browser as reported in this thread! My TV is one week old.
b) Also, I too wrote to Hotstar and got an instant encouraging reply from them which goes like this -
"It is good to see your active engagement with our digital platform. We have recently released an app for Android Smart TV OS 7.0 & above. Also, we are working on App for Samsung Tizen OS & LG Web OS App which should be available by end of this year. "
Although option a) above works fine with me but I have a question - Since the Hotstar logo on the top right is always fixed on the screen will it not run a risk of getting burnt-in on that spot of the TV? I am very concerned about this. Does the logo also appear on the app version (say on Sony's Android TVs)?
