The informal website for Indian expatriates, known as 'Linked in', has recently been expanded to include Singapore and even Middle-Eastern countries. The list of countries where the network is available to include Fiji, Europe, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mauritius, South Africa, Nigeria along with the other mentioned countries.
History
YuppTV is an Atlanta-based OTT service provider that provides live TV channel content to Indian audiences in the United States. In most first-world countries, Indian channels are unavailable or extremely expensive, so Yupptv recognized that this was a need and started its own online TV network that offers live TV, catch-up content, on-demand movies, and more.
Why should you stream on YuppTV?
A few reasons why I believe that you should stream on YuppTV include the following: After summarizing these points, it is my belief that streaming on YuppTV is a great idea.
There are many reasons why streaming on YuppTV would be a good decision for you. In this section, I will summarize the most important points before discussing the advantages of streaming on this service.
Quantity and Quality of Content
You can enjoy more than 180 channels with unlimited blockbuster movies and classic TV shows, such as 'Kasauti Zindagi Ki?' with 10 days of catch-up TV.
Seamless Push Media Content
YuppTV meets the compatibility standards set by leading streaming services such as Amazon Prime and Netflix. It has cutting-edge technology that doesn't require a satellite connection, cable box, or DVB installation. All you need to stream content is an active internet connection. Once you have that, you can stream YuppTV from not just your PC or mobile phone but also your Smart TVs and devices such as Chromecast, Roku, and Fire TV.
No Contract
While most streaming service providers require subscribers to sign a contract for a minimum period of twelve or twenty-four months, YuppTV is different. You can register for services with only five minutes of your time and there are no commitments from the user's side. You can unsubscribe at any time and there will be no charge associated with this.
Store & Media Center
With a Yupp TV subscription, you can access unlimited content on the store. This includes access to the media center where you can watch all of your USB content on your big screen. You can also use the YuppTV Box (available below) which is Wi-Fi enabled to stream a movie without needing to connect it.
Design
Yupp TV's interface is as good as any A-list streaming service provider. In my opinion, it tops the likes of AT&T and Hotstar. The grey-orange-white combination flows evenly throughout the website. Each page feels cohesive and you can have a seamless experience when it comes to browsing.
Additionally, there is also a ?Settings? option on the right-hand side of the homepage.
When you visit the homepage, you will find categoriesoptions such as "Live TV?", "Catch-up TV?", "Movies?", "TV Shows?", and "Scope" on theleft. On the right, you will find a search bar, packages, signup and login optionswhich are standard in terms ofcategory bars. Additionally, there is also a settings option on theright-hand side ofthe homepage.
The Hero Section on YuppFlix is the most unique of all streaming services I have reviewed thus far. Not only does it have a responsive banner on the left but it also has live streaming news playing in a small window on the right. This makes the Hero Section divided 80:20 with 80% sliders (banners) and 20% live video. As you scroll down, you'll find sections such as 'Trending Live?', 'Best of Yupp Studios?', 'Popular Live TV?', and 'YuppFlix Movies?'.
As you click on the Live TV page in the header menu, you are taken to a new page with a well-designed TV schedule. Similarly, with catch-up content, the leading channels that feature in these categories include NDTV, RT & NSF.
Content
Yupp TV quickly became one of the largest online TV platforms with an expansive content library. With over 200 channels, you get the best of regional and Bollywood content. The massive content library features genres such as Comedy, Sports, News, Romance, Spiritual, Crime, Drama, Entertainment, and Music. Yupp TV's movies and TV shows are a part of YuppFlix which seems to draw its name from Netflix.

Desktop/Mobile experience
All of the channels above are available in high quality, so whether you stream using a Firestick or Chromecast, the experience is going to be amazing. I've streamed Yupp TV on my Google Pixel 2 and Samsung LED via Chromecast and I have to say that I love the website and the app. It's similar to the Sony LIV and Hotstar experience but better.
The only downside to the app is that if you bought a pack of content in India and try to stream it in the United Arab Emirates, you will not be able to access the content. And that is obvious because the plans and pricing are different in both countries.
Excellent Customer Support
I felt the need to add this in this section because the customer service was impeccable. Realizing that I cannot stream the pack I bought in India while I am in UAE, I tried to connect with the customer support. And I have to say that they answered my query within five minutes. There is 24Ã7 service available and the support team is always ready to help.
Plans & Pricing
There are two subscription options available on the website: - YuppTV Hindi has 128 channels which costs $6.99/month - YuppTV Hindi+Hotstar has 162 channels and requires a yearly subscription of $79.99.
These are the only two different options available to US residents.
Suggestions I have for YuppTV
Though the partnership with Hotstar ensures that there is sports content on Yupp TV, it is not enough. I feel that they should tie up with other sports channels and other premium channels to further their network.
Conclusion
According to recent investment reports, Yupp TV's userbase is growing rapidly and that is evident in the network's recent investment injection from Emerald Media. If the investors are correct, I do not see why we as subscribers should not be supportive. The network is growing and with a $50 million investment, Yupp TV will only become larger and better.
