JioHotstar outage on 3 October 2026
JioHotstar: our direct checks failed for 10 min from 14:20 UTC.
Measured from one checker location: Vigil's server at Hetzner in Falkenstein, Germany, with no second region to confirm it. A failure seen from Germany is strong evidence of a problem, not proof that every user was affected.

- The JioHotstar website (hotstar.com/in). Video playback during big live events (IPL, cricket) runs on separate CDNs, so buffering is not visible here.

How this was measured
Every 5 minutes Vigil makes one HTTPS request to JioHotstar directly and, separately, reads JioHotstar's official status page. An episode is 2 or more failed direct checks in a row; it is published only when fewer than 3 other services failed at the same moment (otherwise the problem was probably on our side). Times are accurate to about 5 minutes. Full rules and the 90-day table: methodology. Live status: is JioHotstar down?
