New software for your TV 2.0 Box (software version 1.25.11)
Dear forum members,
The next software update for your Swisscom TV 2.0 Box is in the starting blocks. We will make it available to you in stages from Tuesday April 14. The new features are as follows:
HbbTV: “Hybrid Broadcasting Broadband TV”
HbbTV combines digital TV and the Internet, and allows customers to experience new, interactive TV worlds at the touch of a button. So, depending on the channel, you can not only consult additional information on the current program but also access online video libraries or actively participate in televotes or games.
Customers can launch HbbTV by simply clicking the red “Extra” button on their TV 2.0 remote control.
HbbTV is available for all SRG HD channels (except SRF info HD) as well as for ARD, ZDF, ORF 1 and ORF 2. Use is free and reception does not require specific TV devices.
Dropbox app
Dropbox customers can now view their photos and videos and listen to their music on their TV. The application required for this can be found at Swisscom TV 2.0 in the application tips.
When using the app for the first time, customers are advised to link the app to the Dropbox user account. It is possible to do this easily by computer or smartphone. Using the Dropbox app is free.
Deezer app
From now on, customers with a Deezer account can enjoy their music via Swisscom TV 2.0. Listen to your favorite artists and discover new talents with more than 35 million tracks available. Or leave your music aside to listen to one of the many radio stations available. Deezer offers ample free hosting space. Try it today by creating a Deezer Premium account below: http://deezer.swisscom.ch and choose the NATEL® Pay billing method for convenient and fast payment.
DLNA DMR service (beta)
This service allows you to display photos, movies and music from your smartphone or tablet on the TV screen. Usage is simple: customers just need to install the DLNA Controller application on their mobile device to be able to display their favorite content on the television screen. A DLNA DMP (Player) application is planned later, which will also allow content from the PC, NAS or Internet Box to be played on the television screen.
DLNA Controller Applications: There are a multitude of possible applications. For iOS and Android users, examples include “iMedïaShare” and “Lumia Play to” from Windows Mobile. Customers who have a Synology DiskStation can use the “DS file”, “DS audio” and “DS video” applications provided for this purpose. The customer who uses an application from a third-party provider accepts the terms of use of this provider. For the moment, Swisscom does not yet offer a solution.
You can tell us on this forum any other application that can be used.
Improved “Recent” function
We’ve further improved the quick change between the last two viewed channels. The “Recent” function now also supports Replay, Recording and VoD functions.
Episode title display
For series, the title of the episode is now also displayed on the program detail page.
Channels not included in the subscription
For channels not included in the subscription, customers can now directly access the “Channels and subscriptions” menu by pressing the OK button and subscribe to the desired channel package in one click.
We wish you a good discovery of these new functions and a television experience that is as intense as ever.
Kind regards from the Swisscom TV 2.0 team
