It carries with it a variety of media content that came directly from local networks, including films, TV shows, and various sporting events. It even offered a few original programs of its own. In the years since its inception, though, the service has shifted toward distributions and licensing deals to expand its catalog of videos.first over-the-top streaming servicedirectly from local networksoriginal programsSonyLIV's mobile application has been revamped a few times through the years to provide users with the best viewing experience. Through it, you’ll have access to the platform's entire catalog of content. The service is based on a freemium business model, wherein it can offer media for free, but with ads included with them as you watch.

Everything is well laid out and is optimized for both smartphones and tablets. When it comes to streaming videos, though, the whole experience leaves some to be desired, with server connectivity issues and blank screens happening from time to time.smooth and intuitiveserver connectivity issuesblank screensA decent freemium streaming serviceAll in all, there's a lot to like about SonyLIV and what it offers users. There is plenty of content to choose from, ranging from sports to movies & TV shows, and even a few original programming thrown in. The app itself is well-designed and is easy to use overall. There are a couple of hiccups occasionally, but overall, it's a decent option worth considering.plenty of contenta decent option
