JumpTV June 28, 2007
Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Media Streaming , trackbackJumpTV or Jump.TV is probably the biggest online media streaming site I’ll mention on eIndia. That’s because they have an international focus when it comes to broadcasting television over internet and are backed by big names from Lionsgate Entertainment, Sony Pictures and others. They offer nearly 300 channels from 75+ countries including India, and get about 200,000 visitors per month.
Before you get all worked up, know that the Indian channel lineup is limited to 17 or so channels. Only six are available to watch for free
(India TV, People TV, Punjab Today, S1 News, Tara Music and Tara Newz). Rest are in the range of $9-$12 per month 
subscription, and include some worthwhile channels like ASC Flix and Sahara Filmy. That being said, the streaming quality looks good and is stable. There are added niceties like channel guides, package deals, pay-per-view (sports events mostly) and community features (forums, blog etc).
If you want to pay money to watch (limited) desi television, I’ll recommend this site. It’s much more professional and reliable than other mom-and-pop startups (for example, read the negative experiences people had with Streambox.TV here ).
