DTH provider Dish Home has launched a 4K Streamer. This Android-based TV stick will bring smart features to any non-smart TV.

As its name suggests, the Streamer is capable of broadcasting 4K contents in ultra-high 4K resolution. That also means it can run any video content below that resolution without a hitch.

The device slots into the HDMI port on a TV. Once connected, the users can enjoy apps and services such as Dish Home Go, YouTube, Sony Liv Hungama, etc on any TV. But these are possible only with an internet connection.

The company’s Broadcast Operations General Manager Sachin Basyal provided information about its new product. He said, “Dish Home’s 4K Streamer will turn the customers’ any TV into a smart TV with 4K resolution support.”
