It can be hard to find a live TV streaming site that offers good quality, site design, mobile friendly experience, plenty of features, and reliable HD streaming. So, then, where does the free live TV streaming site, Jago BD fall on the spectrum from the best free live TV streaming sites to the worst? Well, let's take a look, shall we, and see for ourselves!

Design

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 fact, most good live TV streaming sites have terrible designs and layouts which make them very difficult to use and navigate. I wish that I could compliment Jago BD on their website design, but the truth is that it's actually quite bad. In fact, I would say that it's downright bad.

I don't want to be overly negative, but I have to point out that Jago BD has a really nice, clean, and organized layout. There is nothing confusing about the site whatsoever. 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, but few that offer such an easy-to-use and well-organized design.

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 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.

Therefore, Jago BD is just plain boring. There is nothing in the way of user experience whatsoever. All you will find when your browser lands you on Jago BD's home page is a site menu bar, and 3 lists: Bangla TV, Bangla Radio, and Bangla Newspaper. Oh, and at the very bottom of the page, for some reason that I can't quite figure out, there is another, longer list, allowing users to access every free live TV channel available on Jago BD.

My question is this: why would they not make it so that you could access all of these channels from the main section at the top of the page labeled "Bangla TV?" Wouldn't that make more sense than including 2 separate TV menus? I am at a loss.

Once you get past the weird layout decisions and bland look and feel, there are some charms to Jago BD. While streaming live TV, for instance, I like that there is a complete list of channels conveniently located right beside the media player. This allows for something like channel surfing (a rare experience in the streaming age).

I think that Jago BD could benefit from a complete redesign. Honestly, if I ran this site, I would probably just scrap this design and start from scratch. It's time for a bit of a design upgrade, wouldn't you say?

Content and Features

Sadly, this site is not very rich in features. 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, however, is free live TV streaming only. Well, okay, maybe that is an oversimplification. There are a couple things that Jago BD offers that you wont find on every free live TV streaming site. For instance, in addition to streaming live TV, you can also stream live radio. So, thats 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.

Jago BD is a very straightforward site. It offers live TV streaming, free radio streaming, and access to the newspaper. If you're looking for a site to compliment your morning coffee, Jago BD is it.

Mobile and Desktop Experience

Wow, Jago BD actually has a mobile app! I was skeptical at first when I saw that Jago BD had a mobile app. The site design is dated and it doesn't look like they are using any cutting edge technology. But, lo and behold, there is a Jago BD mobile app available on the Google Play store - free download!

I was surprised when I saw that the Jago BD app was actually quite good. It has its limitations, but it is one of the better free live TV streaming apps that I have seen. It is relatively sleek, intuitive, and smooth - it is kind of the antithesis to the old desktop site.

Other viewers seem to think that Jago BD has a good user rating on Google Play (Android users are not usually impressed with streaming apps), with the only downside being that people don't like the fact that it only allows for HD streaming. However, the fact that it can stream live TV in HD is definitely impressive.

There is not currently a Jago BD app for iOS. We hope that this might be in the works.

I regret to inform you that, despite our best efforts, Jago BD has continued to experience significant problems.

If you're a fan of free live TV streaming sites, then you're probably aware that they can often be full of ads. Unfortunately, Jago BD is no different. There are way too many ads for my liking (I mean, ideally, of course, there would be none). You'll be hit with popups, popunders, margin ads - they're going to throw pretty much every ad in the book at you. So, proceed with caution.

The worst part of this is that the site also annoyingly requires you to disable your ad blocker in order to provide you with 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 deal breaker for you (as they are for me when they are this prevalent), perhaps Jago BD might not be the best free live TV streaming site for you after all.
