Xiaomi already offers content from streaming platforms including Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar.

Xiaomi's New Mi TV E43K Comes With 43-Inch Full-HD Screen and Bezel-Less Design

The new update comes just in a week after Xiaomi announced the release of PatchWall 3.0 for the Mi TV 4 55-inch users in India. That new software version brought over 16 content partners, such as ALT Balaji, Zee5, Disney+ Hotstar, Sun NXT, JioCinema, and Hungama Play. It also included improvements and features such as horizontal scrolling and enhanced animation effects. Furthermore, the sports section on the latest PatchWall update brought a deep integration with Disney+ Hotstar.

Xiaomi has its PatchWall launcher on top of Android TV to provide a distinct experience to Mi TV customers over what they could get on any competing smart TV. The launcher is designed as a content-focussed offering, which is unlike the stock Android TV interface that is based on an app-focussed design.
