What is Hotstar?
Hotstar is an Indian over-the-top streaming service. A merger between media companies in 2019 resulted in Disney’s ownership of Hotstar, with the service officially becoming known as Disney+ Hotstar.
Long known domestically and overseas as a great place to stream cricket, Hotstar has grown its catalog of content to offer something for everyone. Sports fanatics can enjoy exclusive streams of top sporting events from both inside and outside India, like the ICC Cricket World Cup and the English Premier League.
And for those who are into soap operas and movies, the service is the only place to catch award-winning Hotstar Specials, while also offering the latest Hollywood, Bollywood, HBO, and Disney+ productions.

How to stream on your TV with ExpressVPN
Using ExpressVPN means secure streaming in blazing-fast HD! Here are four ways to stream with a VPN:
Download the app to a smart TV. If you have a TV that can install the ExpressVPN app directly, such as Amazon Fire TV or Android TV, just search for the app and install!
Connect via HDMI cable. Simply run an HDMI cable from another device with ExpressVPN installed to your TV. Don’t have an HDMI cable handy? Try mirroring or casting instead.
Use MediaStreamer. Though MediaStreamer doesn’t offer the privacy protection of a VPN, it works with devices like Apple TV and gaming consoles that normally can’t install a VPN.
Use a VPN-enabled router. With ExpressVPN installed on your router, every device in your home—including your smart TV—can enjoy all the benefits of a VPN. This even covers devices that can’t install a VPN directly.
Besides smart TVs, ExpressVPN also works with a wide range of devices—and you can connect up to 5 at the same time with a single subscription!

Why streamers love ExpressVPN
Perfect. Unlike other VPNs that took forever to stream anything, with ExpressVPN I never notice a difference at all. It takes a lot to make me happy but this did it for me.
Have been using this service for two years now... it's infallible. Works with every app and streaming service. Uptime is good, no stuttering or delay on streams.
This is the first VPN service that doesn't slow down or buffer my streaming services while I'm at home. I appreciate that and thank you all for doing it right!
