I applied for this service last Saturday and they still haven't activated it.
I have called them many times and they say my status is "n progress" even after they had sent a guy who tried for 1-2 hours and failed to activate it and my line is showing 7 Mbps instead of 4.
And I am using it with Ethernet so Wireless is not the issue.

if someone can tell me how to add more channels in the playlist of this smart tv app then surely i can add more channels like indian and other..:D
find smarttv.m3u on your pc, it's in the c:\users\<name>\appdata\roaming\ptcl ( in windows 8 )
edit and enjoy. smarttv is just vlc player with a playlist.

let me know if it works.

array yaar ... is mein tutorial ki kya zaroorat hai.
here are the steps:

1) Open your VLC player
2) Since you've already installed smart tv app on your PC, it saves the playlist "smarttv.m3u" on your PC somewhere. In my case it's in c:\users\<name>\appdata\roaming\ptcl ( i'm using windows 8 )
3) copy that file elsewhere on your desktop or something.
4) now simply drag & drop this playlist in your VLC player, and that's it :)

Actually, you dont even need VLC for it, you can run on any player that allows for streaming.
See below:

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
