Tech Weekly #4 – GOT on Hotstar, Lenovo Laptops, Nokia 105, Panasonic P55, Nubia M2 and more
Game of Thrones Season 7 is now available on Hotstar Streaming app
Half the world’s population is now shivering cold with Game of Thrones fever. Winter is here and it’s available to watch on the video-on-demand app, Hotstar. As much as people love watching American tele-series like the GoT, they watch it on pirated mediums like Torrents. But now with Hotstar, all the episodes of Game of Thrones will be available within minutes of its US telecast. Hotstar has launched a marketing campaign called Torrents Morghulis, which is derived from ‘valar morghulis’. Game of throne fans would understand the meaning of this, which is Torrents must Die.
It is a paid premium service. With Hotstar Premium account, you get to watch a huge list of TV and movies in High definition quality, on your mobile or smart TV.
