Orange TV is finally available free of charge for all Livebox subscribers

Orange TV is finally available free of charge for all Livebox subscribers

Are you tired of juggling between your Orange decoder and your connected TV? Good news: the operator has just made life easier (finally) for its subscribers. Orange TV is now available for free on all screens... and even without a box.

Orange TV is finally available free of charge for all Livebox subscribers

Exit the TV box under the screen: Orange is finally opening its TV application to all Livebox subscribers, at no extra cost. Previously reserved for high-end offers (Up and Max), the platform is now accessible on Smart TV, mobile or web browser. Better still, the start-over function, to resume a live broadcast from the beginning, is activated for everyone.

A decision that aligns Orange with Free and its Oqee service, but with an advantage: more than 150 live channels, thousands of VOD films, and recording on all screens (if the option is activated). The icing on the cake: subscribers don't have to do anything, access is automatic.

Compatibility, replay and French Netflix-like

To enjoy it, simply download the Orange TV app from your TV store. Compatibility required? Samsung (2019+ models), Android TV (version 9+) and Apple TV (tvOS 15+). Any doubts? Type "Orange" in the app store: if it appears, it means the application is compatible with your TV.

In terms of content, the app focuses on extended replay (7 days) and a VOD catalog of 30,000 films/series, including recent releases (4 months after the cinema). The cloud recorder can store 300 hours of programs, ideal for serial binge-watchers.

Orange is thus catching up with Free, which even offers Oqee to its mobile subscribers. There remains one drawback: the app doesn't yet completely replace the decoder (some options still require the box). But for digital nomads, it's a step towards total dematerialization.

With this strategy, the historic operator is probably trying to win back households tempted by 100% streaming offers. When will Netflix or Disney+ be integrated into the app? For now, Orange remains cautious... but retains one advantage: its TV package is included in all its internet subscriptions, unlike Free and Bouygues, which recently launched offers without TV.
