Buy “Foreign” Swisscom TV 2.0 UHD box on auction platform

  • As we all know, the TV Box 2.0 (IP1200) cannot be sold because it is only rented from Swisscom. But this is not the case with the UHD Box (IP1400)! You have to buy them. The question now is: Can you legally buy a UHD box on an auction platform, and would it then work? Prerequisite you already have a TV-Box 2.0 (IP1200) in use? Greetings neo

    • hello @neo4matrix

      Basically yes, you can buy occasion (ricardo:winking:) and activate it via the hotline let.

      As far as I know, they just have to activate the UHD stream.

    That would work, but the TV-Box has to be activated, a user has already had this case. If activating it via the Kundencenter doesn’t work, you can also do it through support.

    It is important to mention that you should not send a new UHD TV-Box because one already exists.

    Installationen, Netzwerk, Internet, Computertechnik, OS Windows, Apple und Linux.

    If the new UHD box replaces the HD box, then you don’t have to do anything, just connect the new UHD box and you’re good. Then please ask the hotline where you can take your old HD box, or you can also take it to a shop.

    If you want to operate the UHD box in addition to your HD box, you still have to have it activated. Additional stream costs 5.– per month.

    Thanks for the great answers! Thanks for the valuable tip, RomanE. I have 2 HD boxes and would like to replace one of them with a UHD box. So it should work without a hotline. I then take the old HD box to the Swisscom shop…
