There are a few good free live TV streaming sites, but it can be hard to find one that offers decent site design, a mobile-friendly experience, lots of features, and reliable HD streaming.
So, then, where does the Bangladeshi free live TV streaming site, Jago BD fall on the spectrum from the best free live TV streaming sites to the worst? Let's take a look, shall we, and see for ourselves!
Design
In general, site design and layout is the first impression that users have of a website, and it can easily turn them off or even lead them to the wrong streaming service if it is not done well.
It can be said that a website's first impression is made by its site design and layout. This is, after all, the first thing that a user will notice when they visit a site, how the site presents itself to the world. Anybody who has spent any amount of time searching for free live TV streaming sites (or free streaming sites of any kind) knows well that good site design and streaming free TV do not often go hand in hand. Sure, on an all too rare occasion maybe I will happen upon the mythical free live TV streaming site that offers an intuitive, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing build, but they are few and far between. In general, good site design and layout usually means having an easy-to-use interface as well as looking appealing to viewers. But it's not always easy to achieve these goals - especially if you're starting from scratch. Unless you have some serious designing chops or have hired someone else skilled in this area to help you out (and even then it's no guarantee), your website's first impression may be one of mediocrity at best.
I wish that this could be a way to discuss how Jago BD is a beautiful site that is every bit as effective as it is easy on the eyes. However, I am beholden to the truth. Therefore, I am, unfortunately, not going to be able to find much to say in the way of compliments when it comes to Jago BD's site design. In fact, I will even go as far as to say that it is downright bad. Not awful. Not the worst free live TV streaming site design that I have ever come across, but far (far) from the best.
I don't want to be overly negative, but I have to preface my critique of Jago BD's design by pointing out a strength. The site is very clean and organized, with nothing confusing about the layout. Everything has its place, and every section of the site is easily accessible without any unnecessary confusion or too much clutter. This is definitely something worth celebrating - there are a lot of free live TV streaming sites out there, after all.
Now, onto the scathing criticism. Just kidding, I'm not going to be too harsh. Jago BD does, after all, make it possible to stream live TV for free. So, you know the old saying, beggars can't be choosers, right? Honestly, my biggest beef with Jago BD is the fact that it just doesn't look good. The site is simply not up to par with modern site design standards. Perhaps by the standards of, I don't know, 1999, Jago BD would be a decent build. But this is 2021, the bar for sleek, responsive, dynamic, and immersive site design has been set extremely high by other sites, both in the streaming industry and elsewhere.
Jago BD is just plain boring. It has no user experience whatsoever. When you go to Jago BD?s home page, all you will find is a site menu bar and three lists: Bangla TV, Bangla Radio, and Bangla Newspaper. And at the very bottom of the page, there is another, longer list that allows users to access every free live TV channel available on Jago BD.
I am confused by the design of the TV channels page. Why is it that you can only access some channels from the main section at the top of the page labeled "Bangla TV"? Wouldn't it make more sense to include all these channels in one place, instead of having two separate menus? I don't understand why this wasn't done from the beginning.
While the layout and design choices may be a bit off-putting at first, I think there are some things to like about Jago BD once you get past its eccentricities. For example, being able to quickly jump between channels while streaming live TV is a rare experience these days, but it's easy to do with Jago BD's handy channel list right next to the player.
I think that Jago BD could use a redesign. Honestly, if I ran this site, I would probably just scrap this design and start from scratch. It seems like it's time for a design upgrade, don't you agree?
Content and Features
Sadly, this site is not very rich in features. I mean, it does what it is meant to do: it lets you stream live TV for free. But that is all that it lets you do. Other free live TV streaming sites will let you add certain channels to your favorites list, recommend series and programming based on your viewing habits, provide on-demand streaming of the shows and movies you may have missed when they aired live, etc. Jago BD doesn't do any of these things. It is just a simple site that streams live TV for free.
OK, that might be an oversimplification. Jago BD offers a couple of things that you won't find on every free live TV streaming site. For instance, we also stream live radio. So, that's a nice touch. Plus, the site links to reputable Bangladeshi news sites. Essentially, if you find that you really like Jago BD, it could be your one-stop shop for all things current events in Bangladesh.
There isn't much to Jago BD, it is a straightforward site. You can stream live TV free, stream free radio, and read the paper. If ever there was a site to complement your morning cup of coffee, it is this one.
Mobile and Desktop Experience
Whoa, sounds like Jago BD actually has a mobile app. Crazy right?
At first, I didn't believe my eyes when I saw that the Jago BD app was available on the Google Play store. It's incredibly rare for a free live TV streaming site to have a mobile app, let alone one with what looks like an amateurish and dated website design. The site doesn't exactly look like it would be employing any cutting edge (or even modern) technology. But lo and behold, there is a Jago BD app available on the Google Play store - free download!
I was really surprised when I found out that the Jago BD app was actually pretty good. I mean, it's not Netflix or anything, but it's one of the better free live TV streaming apps that I've seen. It's relatively sleek, intuitive, and smooth - kind of the antithesis to the desktop site.
Other viewers seem to think that Jago BD is a good app, with an average rating of 4.2 on Google Play (Android users don't usually give streaming apps high ratings). The only downside is that people don't like the fact that it only streams in HD; if you're low on data or have a poor connection, you may find it difficult to watch live TV. However, the fact that it streams HD live TV on your phone is pretty awesome.
Sorry iPod/iPhone users, there is not currently a Jago BD app for iOS. Maybe that will change in the future? (fingers crossed).
Unfortunately, I have some more bad news about Jago BD.
If you're a fan of free live TV streaming sites, then you're probably already aware of the fact that they often have a lot of ads. Jago BD is no exception. There are way too many ads for my taste (I mean, ideally, of course, there would be none). You?ll get popup ads, popupunders, and even margin ads. They're going to throw pretty much every ad in the book at you. So, proceed with caution if you decide to use this site.
The annoying thing about the site is that it requires you to disable your ad blocker before you can watch the full free live TV streaming experience. There will be a pesky gray filter that overlays the live TV stream with "Please disable ad blocker?" written across the center of the screen. So, if ads are a big deal for you (as they are for me when they're this prevalent), perhaps Jago BD might not be the best free live TV streaming site for you after all.
