PlanetVU June 28, 2007

Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Media Streaming , trackback

Planetvu is more than a television content streaming site. They have a proprietary IPTV platform technology that they developed with backing from Pinnacle Capital, a VC firm based in Canada.

They do broadcast Indian channels, but the selection is very, very limited. It’s a bunch of ZeeTV channels,Money Icon $8.99 for individual channel, and $14.99 for packages like Zee Punjabi, Zee Marathi. The compete.com data is rough but shows only about 1,200 visitors per month. I’m not sure about the quality of video since there are no freebies offered (there is a 2 week ‘risk-free’ trial, though).

In conclusion, I don’t think it’s worth a try in the current state. Maybe when they expand their channel offerings significantly, I’ll give them another shot.
