Welcome Suchi to the Office forum, hope you have a great time with us. Yes there are many complaints about Hot Star since it is not compatible for everyone. Until they solve this major problem, I guess maybe watch the episodes online somewhere else if you cannot see it on TV.

Hi Suchi,

(Fyi - i'm not frm the Dev Team. Just a regular 'silent' reader)

Thought of posting this reply to ease your pain...so, no worries, i've had the same issue but managed to resolve it by changing the regional setting of my appstore to India.

Here's how you can do the same if you are an Apple user:

http://osxdaily.com/2013/05/24/change-country-itunes-app-store/

A few points to note regarding the new HotStar app:

1) As many would've known, one of its major drawback with this app is that it is it for local (India) use only at the moment. It has not been globalized as yet, hence programmes like movies cannot be watched via this app. The rest are good to go.

2) You must remember to change back your regional settings back to your home country, else your other apps will not get their most wanted updates on regular basis. You have a choice to alternately switch your regional settings every now and then to ensure all apps are updated promptly.

3) The resolution on the HotStar app has been designed only to meet iPhone models' requirements, not for iPad. Hence, the resolution may look a little off when you do so on your iPad, but the TV progs are still watchable on both devices.

4) Like the TV, the app also has irritating ads (esp. for the upcoming WorldCup) and you cannot skip it like Youtube.

Hope the above tips are useful to you & others too. I've been using it for the past 1 week and its working just fine for me.

Do try it and let us know how it worked for you.
