I have been planning to write this article for a long time now but couldn’t as i wasn’t able to find live streaming links for all the major Indian TV channels. But, i have decided to publish all the current working links for live streaming and update this article as and when i discover new links for other channels.
Anyways, at first the idea of live streaming Indian TV channels on mobile phone seemed a lame and useless as GPRS isn’t considered the best option for streaming videos. However, since 3G is still months away from official launch, i tried to gamble with it and found that streaming isn’t that bad at all! Channels that provide lo version ran quite nicely without any snag (tried on Airtel Mobile Office). Coming back to the topic, i was able to find some working links that allow you to watch live streaming of few channels like MTV, 9XM and Colours. Open the following mentioned url’s in your mobile phone’s default web browser to view live streaming of channels:
rtsp://94.75.250.53:554/rtplive/9xm (9XM – lo version)
rtsp://94.75.250.53:554/live/9xm2 (9Xm – hi version)

NOTE: In order to view live streaming make sure you are using socket connection and NOT proxy connection. As an example, Airtel NOP uses proxy whereas Airtel MO (Mobile Office) uses Socket connection. And activate unlimited Internet plan before live streaming Live Indian TV channel else it will turn out to be expensive.
