The number of channels offered within T-Mobile TV is growing

• A total of 148 channels now available under plans and bundles, of which 32 are in HD quality
• The basic Základ plan has been activated by 56% users
• The number of movies available within the video-on-demand service will double                                                  

On 1 May 2016, T-Mobile extended the number of channels available within its TV service with 18 channels dedicated to movies, sports, nature, children’s programmes and history. Most of the channels are from the portfolio of AMC Networks International – Central Europe. Within plans and bundles, users can now enjoy a total of 148 channels, of which 32 are in HD quality.

“More than half of users have activated the basic Základ plan (available for CZK 299 per month as part of a special offer); approximately one-third of them have selected the Standard plan (now available for CZK 399 per month within a special offer). A thematic bundle or the Videotéka video-on-demand service has been ordered by every fifth customer,” says Tomáš Ryšavý, Vice President Residential Segment and Product Marketing at T-Mobile. Václav Zadina, product specialist in charge of T-Mobile TV, adds: “The Videotéka video-on-demand service is not quite yet final. It currently offers about 150 movies; in the near future, however, users can look forward to at least double that number of movies. Access to the video-on-demand service costs CZK 99 per month incl. VAT.”

Interest in T-Mobile TV has exceeded expectations. The features that users now appreciate the most include the modern style of the service, intuitive navigation, appealing design and easy and fast installation. As anticipated, the most frequently used features of T-Mobile TV are time-shifting for up to two days and recording of programmes (which can be saved for up to 30 days). The other most valuable feature is the special offer of free HBO for six months as a gift with each activation, which has a positive impact on the high ratings of these channels.

A tremendous amount of work still lies ahead of the team of experts in charge of the TV service – they have worked intensively on improving the graphical interface and navigation, making changes to the Mobile TV application that is part of T-Mobile TV, and improving the offer of channels.

The offer has now been expanded with the following channels:

T-Mobile TV Základ: Sport 1, Sport 2, Minimax, AMC, Film +

T-Mobile TV Standard: Sport 1, Sport 2, Minimax, AMC, Film +, Sport 1 HD, Sport 2 HD, Spektrum, Spektrum HD, JimJam, Viasat History, Viasat Explore
