Hotstar - video on-demand streaming service

[Surojit Roy]

How can I watch Hoststar streaming service on LG smart TV. When I search on the App Store I don't find the Hotstar app. Please suggest.

@Surojit Roy You do not post what TV you have, and it may only be available in the LG APP store for certain later models. It is not available in all countries either. So, if it is not in the store, you cannot install it. Here is a posssible workaround, from an anonymous user:

"In some TVs you won’t be able to install apps which are not available with them. Though my tv was a smart tv only I couldn’t install Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hotstar, Zee5, ALtbalaji etc. to enjoy the web series and movies on them. After some research, I got to know about this: - Fire TV Stick 4K with All-New Alexa Voice Remote, with Streaming Media Player.

It has to be downloaded in the stick and just switch to the hdmi on which the stick is fitted and play. You need to have a good internet connection [strong WiFi signal] to use it.

We need to pay the subscription costs for Netflix, amazon prime, Hotstar, zee5 etc. We can choose the various plans which suit us. But it’s worth buying. We have disconnected our tata sky also since the day we got this as now we can watch a variety of programs and web series with the help of this fire stick. Now we just love to have it."

It is available from Amazon and other selected outlets/specialist stores.
