Now you can convert your existing set-top box into a full-fledged PC, yes you read right! As Jio Platforms, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries, has launched a new cloud-based virtual desktop service that helps in converting your existing set-top box into a full-fledged PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jio Launching JioPC<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have named it as JioPC<\/a> and this service is said to work with any compatible TV connected to a Jio set-top box and is currently available for free to users through a waitlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The telecom and streaming services platform claims that the new service is aimed at making computing more accessible and affordable in areas where PC penetration is low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JioPC is known to be using Ubuntu (Linux) as its operating system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To utilise this, the users will have to connect to their set-top box with a USB or Bluetooth-enabled keyboard and mouse to use JioPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the telecom claims, this comes pre-installed with LibreOffice, an open-sourced free-to-use office suite that includes apps for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides this, the users can also access Microsoft Office via the built-in web browser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, JioPC does not support external peripherals like a camera and printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, according to Jio, it will change in the \u2018near future.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of JioPC, the users could make use of basic features such as web browsing, word processing and even offer e-learning sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides this the users will also be able to install and run a bunch of apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we compare this with PCs and laptops, JioPC is emerging as a much more affordable solution for students and users who want access to a PC without investing a lot of money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, it eliminates the maintenance and upgrade costs since all the information is stored and processed on the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does It Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to make use of the JioPC, an individual will need to have an active Jio set-top box subscription considering the fact that JioPC is not bundled with the Jio subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that the JioPC is not available for a one time purchase, it is only available as a subscription, you can check the tariffs on the JioPC website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering that it is a cloud-based service, the user will need to have an active internet connection at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Use JioPC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. First of all, you will have to power on your Jio set-top box and head over to the apps section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Then you need to find and install a Jio PC and connect a USB or Bluetooth-enabled mouse and keyboard to the set-top box. For reference, Jio has mentioned a bunch of compatible devices on its website that you can connect to the set-top box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Once the page appears, enter your details and sign up for a JioPC account. After that tap on the \u2018Continue\u2019 button to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Lastly, click on the \u2018Launch now\u2019 to start using JioPC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
