On a TV set at home or on a mobile device while on the road
Yettel TV combines the best of cable TV and online streaming platforms. Its clear, intuitive interface provides users with thematic recommendations and a program guide. A major benefit of the service is that it can be watched on multiple platforms – at home, on the road or even at a holiday home. It connects to the home television set using Yettel’s Android TV-based TV Box, which allows users to ‘tune-in’ to compatible TVs to run apps, games and Google services. The service can be used on smartphones and tablets in the Yettel TV app, on computers via a web interface. Compatible smart TV apps are also being launched on an ongoing basis.
According to Yettel data, the vast majority of users (around 90%) used the service on a TV set during the pilot, followed by Android mobile, PC, iPhone and Android tablets.
