Jio Hotstar users are unhappy with the platform’s performance after the merger of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar. Instead of an improved experience, many feel the service has worsened.
What a shitty broadcasting is this from @JioHotstar @DisneyPlusHS, on ground feed and commentary not in sync. They have been doing it for a decade and still never smooth. #INDvBAN @ICC #ChampionsTrophy2025

Frequent ads and technical glitches are the biggest complaints. Cricket fans, in particular, are frustrated with issues like lagging streams, commentary out of sync, and difficulties finding their preferred language. Many have taken to social media to express their disappointment.
Jio hotstar is destroying Cricket watching experience with the lamest advertisements possible in India.

One user tweeted, "@JioHotstar After the merger, we expected better service, but the streaming issues are frustrating." Another user complained about the excessive advertisements, saying, "Jio Hotstar is ruining the cricket-watching experience with nonstop ads."
There have also been complaints about poor HD and 4K streaming quality, with users reporting buffering and delays during live matches. Fans are urging Jio Hotstar to fix these problems, as sports streaming plays a major role in attracting subscribers to the platform.
