Dish TV launched VZY Smart TVs in Kerala, integrating DTH, OTT and regional content into one ecosystem. Range includes a 65-inch model and a 'FIFA to FIFA' bundle offering uninterrupted TV services through the FIFA World Cup cycle.

Why this matters

Dish TV is pivoting from pure DTH distribution into bundled hardware as satellite subscriber bases erode industry-wide. The VZY launch marks a move to lock in viewers via owned devices rather than set-top boxes.

Retail-brand activity steady at 917 signals over the last 90 days.
