Update EOS4.1: Improved software for your Swisscom TV-Box
Dear community
Swisscom TV is becoming easier to use again! We will release the new software in stages over the next few weeks for all Swisscom TV customers. Some new features await you at the UHD and Swisscom Box:
Trash for deleted TV recordings
Did you accidentally delete your recording or was it removed because the recording memory was full? No problem! Deleted recordings now end up in a trash can. They then remain there for 30 days and can be restored at any time before they are permanently deleted.
App store in new design
The app store has been cleaned out and better organized. The Swisscom TV apps are now grouped by topic and the “My Apps” category is replaced by “Recently Used Apps”. Thanks to fewer apps per band, you can also find the app of your choice more quickly.
Adjusted font for better readability
Thanks to your numerous feedback on the dark theme introduced with EOS4, Swisscom has made some improvements to the user interface and adjusted the font. This makes the texts easier to read on the black background and makes it easier for you to find your way around.
Watch series on Teleclub
Would you like to watch several episodes of your new favorite series in one go (binge watching)? This is now possible without any problems. You can now skip both the intro and the end credits for selected series that you purchased on Teleclub. The Teleclub series page has also been revised so that you can keep a better overview thanks to the changing cover photo per season.
Best possible quality and subtitles for VoD
You can rent or buy more and more films for one price. The price is the same for all qualities of a video and you automatically see the content in the best possible quality. The TV-Box now also shows in the overview whether subtitles are available for a video. The prerequisite for this is that you have activated accessibility in the settings.
Improved responsiveness and easier homescreen personalization
We have adjusted and optimized the loading times in various areas of Swisscom TV. The reaction speeds on the home screen and in the Teleclub and sports areas have improved significantly. You can also personalize your home screen even more easily using the Options button and display the app bands of your choice.
TV Air 4.1
Of course we also worked on TV Air again. Innovations such as the trash can for deleted recordings or the best possible quality for videos are also available for TV Air. Or you can record your series across channels. This means, for example, that you plan a recording on your laptop, then watch the show on your cell phone and manage it on your tablet. In addition, TV Air users on iOS can now transfer their content to other screens via Chromecast, provided they are unencrypted.
What do you think about the renewals? Share your inputs and experiences with us. This helps us to constantly improve Swisscom TV.
