SCTV 2.0 changes the way you watch TV

For a junkie like me, Swisscom TV 2.0 is the fulfillment of many TV dreams. I’m already at 63% used space. A large part is of course due to the automatically recorded repetitions. So if there are still 50 episodes of a series available, you have to adjust your viewing habits. In the past, you were forced to watch programs before they were deleted. Since the archived ones were also deducted from the available space, a decision had to be made (not quite as elementary as with Sophie’s Choice). This pressure is no longer there at 1000 hour capacity. I also buy even fewer DVDs. VOD? Reduced because I can keep the Teleclub broadcast longer without any problems. Two new options are needed. 1. The number of episodes that are recorded for a series can be determined individually and 2. how long non-archived programs should be kept! If the premium channels were also available in the apps, if necessary for an additional charge…WOE

I don’t think this will be the end of the line anyway. I especially think it’s great that I now have my FOX HD back to normal (at no extra charge), so I’m away from Teleclub. I find the whole thing far too expensive, whether directly or in apps. It would only be interesting if you could “rent” individual channels,

What has changed for me:
I hardly watch live TV anymore.

I use Replay more than 80% of the time. Especially because of the annoying commercial breaks.

About storage space:
I think that if the 1,000 hours are tight, then the box itself demands that you make space.
In principle, archiving means nothing other than that if you have marked your contents with the lock symbol, you can safely click on “delete everything”. The archive contents are not affected by this.
Saves you the hassle of searching for what can and can’t be removed.

If the 2 TB is full, the box automatically deletes the oldest non-archived recording. You don’t even need to actively delete.

But you shouldn’t forget that these recordings are not stored in your cloud, but on the big cloud, and do they really store everything for years or decades? It could well be that an archived one will no longer be available at some point. That would be a question for the developers or server managers (not support).

Hi everyone,

I was already able to notice that consumer behavior was changing with the “old” SwisscomTV. In fact, we rarely watch live TV anymore. We program practically everything we want to see. However, those are only 2 or 3 series and a few documentaries. Sometimes it’s a good film, but that’s about it.

At the moment you still have to do a lot of tidying up so that you don’t run out of storage space, as the series programming isn’t working so well yet.

Still, 2TB is (currently) a huge amount. However, I am of the opinion that this space is still not suitable for long-term archiving. You should be aware of that. If I want to “keep” a recorded film, I buy the DVD or BD. Then I am sure that I can still access it at any time, even after 5 or 10 years.

Greetings, Thomas

Above all, Swisscom TV 2.0 changes the way we watch TV in that we now have to get upset because the show stops again, the box crashes, the picture jerks. We didn’t have any of that before. Really a huge step forward. Thank you Swisscom!

Once the problems are fixed, then SC TV 2.0 is perfect.

Who even watches shows when the broadcasters bring them? Cleverly, there are really good shows that are shown at the stupidest times and then there are nonsense that are served to us at prime times.

In addition to TV, you have a lot of other things that you like to do (even if you might sometimes think that life only consists of TV;o) and then you can watch your shows when you have nothing better to do has in mind.

Skipping advertising is the next advantage, but of course the broadcasters don’t like to hear it. But not participating in “Replay” would result in lower ratings on his station in the long run, I could imagine.

And when it comes to archiving films, I also think that DVDs are a better alternative than the box and for those who aren’t quite as old-fashioned, a download is certainly sufficient, which can (currently still) be obtained legally and cheaply thanks to the Internet from Swisscom.
