Tapmad TV vs PTV Sports — which to pick
If you watch cricket on a TV with a cable or FTA connection, PTV Sports is free and covers every match — you don’t need Tapmad. If you watch on mobile, want on-demand replays, or live somewhere without reliable cable / dish reception, Tapmad’s PKR 250–500 monthly tier is the cleanest legal route. Many Pakistani households run both: PTV on the living-room TV, Tapmad on phones.
