Hello everyone
For operational reasons, the rollout of Entertainment OS4 for customers with the UHD-capable box, planned for the end of February, will probably be postponed by a few weeks. We will inform you here as soon as the new rollout date is set. We regret the longer waiting time and ask for your understanding.
Kind regards, Miriam
I find this an absolute disgrace - we pay a lot of money every month and you aren’t even properly informed.
We’ve had Swisscom TV and other subscriptions for years now, and what’s the bottom line: you can’t use the box as usual unless you buy a new one. No accomodation from Swisscom. I can no longer understand such service and customer focus.
Like many of my colleagues, I am already looking for a replacement.

I am already looking for a replacement, as are many of my colleagues.
And why can’t you use the box properly?

Playing recorded series is becoming quite annoying.
You play an episode, want to continue watching the next one recorded in Anschluss, after 10 minutes the episode ends. If I press play next episode it starts again ⅔ of the way into the last one. Then I can fast forward 15 minutes again. Annoying to no end.
I know people who are beta testers and already have EOS4 on their UHD box. It’s so full of errors and prone to crashes, you don’t want to have that, believe me.
One can argue about communication. When it said “beginning of the year” it was clear that it would be delayed. This is corporate speak for: The deadline set by management cannot be met. But nobody wants to hear that and that’s why nobody says it.

It’s been running flawlessly for me in test mode for months. You can count the number of crashes on one hand…
….keep on rockin' 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I was told otherwise. It probably depends on what you do with the box.
A postponement of several weeks with all the big announced features and Netflix will probably not happen because of a few harmless teething problems. It’s not exactly the best PR.
Anyway, it takes so long to finish. The bosses don’t like to hear it, but it’s still the case.
And as we hear from well-informed sources, things are rumbling in SC. One reorganization chases another, long-standing employees run away and the merry-go-round turns in management. Of course it doesn’t help either.
There have been rumblings at Swisscom for more than 25 years. I worked there myself for 15 years and have now worked at another company for almost 16 years. Even back then, one reorganization followed another. Restructuring is no longer possible. And in many cases we went back to the way things were before etc. etc. etc. Everyone in top management wants to leave their mark somehow. Many are simply profile neurotics…
We want to leave the church in the village. Just because the release of an SW platform is delayed a few weeks doesn’t mean SC is incapable.
The SC was doing too well for too long. Unfortunately, business administration heinis who are far from technology settle in in upper management and believe that they know everything better than the technicians and developers. Instead of stabilizing the basic functions first, you get bogged down in gimmicks like voice control and smart home. Because you want to be like Apple, Google and Amazon without understanding what their success is based on.
Then there is a crisis and the cycle starts again.
This happens every 15 years at Siemens, ABB etc.
Dear @Anonymous
It’s just nice if everyone can write something here. I have no idea where you are getting your information from. But you should get a reputable source. #Fake
There was simply another problem that was only discovered at the last minute in the test with the Friendlies. This is now being corrected and then it will probably work out. #Facts

But that is not the issue. The mismanagement in federally affiliated companies is worrying and costs taxpayers enormous amounts of money. Whether there are any BWl’er HWV’er etc. at the helm is irrelevant. Swisscom, Post and SBB have never managed to work in a market economy, as all the breakdowns at SBB, Post and Swisscom show. Swisscom in particular has failed massively, which could even have life-threatening consequences, as the last few weeks have shown. It’s easy to blame everything on incompetent idiots. Then you leave the church in the village, this company is a total failure in all respects.
First of all, find out how much money flows from Swisscom each year in the form of dividends and profits to the federal government as the main shareholder and how much goes to the Swiss economy as investments. Then you will notice that the taxpayer does not finance Swisscom, but benefits indirectly from it.
It’s funny, I’ve been receiving a dividend from Swisscom shares for years. The @Seppl17 “ignorant” people are right to come away empty-handed. Long live the #FakeNews of the uninformed society. The annual reports are publicly available for all of the companies mentioned. You don’t even have to be a business expert to be able to interpret them.

That’s not what this is about! SC has also pulled out a few big chunks in previous years with foreign investments. The service is not right, that is the issue and not dividends.
Then go to one of the other companies if Swisscom doesn’t suit you.
Swisscom has absolutely nothing to do with the federal government other than the fact that the federal government is the majority shareholder and receives big dividends.
don’t always talk yourself out of it.
