DTH service provider Dish TV has entered the smart TV segment with the launch of its VYZ series in India. All models in this series are equipped to handle both DTH and OTT content, eliminating the need for a separate set-top box. This move comes as the company adapts to a growing trend of consumers moving away from traditional DTH services.
