This patchwall also helps us search for content with lists such as “India Top 10 Today”, “Top 20 in 2020”, “Recntly.
Collections “and more. However, this is Mi TV’s The UI is great if you are subscribed to multiple services and just want to consume a lot of content without having to worry about navigating applications. I only have one problem with the UI.
When I watch TV shows or movies Pause for some time and go to picture settings to change it, and then when I click back instead of exiting the settings and going back in the move, the UI lets us transfer out of the move. Looks a little better than the features. Since this UI feature does not do this in other TVs.
