Now let's compare both the OTT App's and see which one is better to use.


SonyLIV:

Pros:

  • Sony Liv OTT ap provides availability of widely followed Indian sports channels, more than 40,000 hours of SET content, and 700+ movies will leave viewers spoilt for choice when it comes to consuming content.

  • Sony Liv allows a wide variety of genres available, including music channels.

  • Both SonyLIV’s website and mobile app have simple interfaces and can be operated without requiring expert knowledge.

  • Cons:

  • No subtitles are available, which is a significant disadvantage.

  • There are no options to select appropriate video quality as streaming will take place automatically depending on an Internet connection.

  • Currently, you can control the video player only with a mouse. The FAQ section on the SonyLIV website states that player control options will be available in a future version of the app.

HBO:

Pros:

  • You get to watch a bunch of brand-new highly anticipated blockbuster movies for a reasonable monthly price without having to leave the comfort or safety of our homes.


  • With the money saved on tickets, concessions, gas, parking, Ubers, and babysitters, more people will hopefully start to invest in better TVs.

  • This makes seeing new movies much more accessible for people with disabilities, people who don’t live close to a theater.

  • You don’t have to sit through a bunch of commercials before the movie.

Cons:

  • This is a massive blow to the movie theater industry, which was already suffering - especially smaller independently-run theaters and it affects the thousands of people employed by theaters of any size.

  • The HBO Max app needs some work! It doesn’t look great anywhere, it’s a buggy mess on consoles and it doesn’t exist on a variety of smart TVs, Roku devices, or PlayStation 5 yet.
