If you are looking for German Pay TV channels with replay, you are better off with UPC!

With its new Blue+ package, Swisscom has managed to no longer offer certain pay TV channels. Unfortunately, Pro7 Fun and TNT Film are included.

UPC includes over 40 pay TV channels for 15 francs a month in the premium package, which is honestly cheaper than Swisscom TV or better said blue TV.

Sorry Swisscom, that’s just my honest opinion.

When it comes to free TV, Swisscom is a lot better than all providers in Switzerland, but when it comes to pay TV, I would say no!

That was also the sticking point for me when I decided on Swisscom. I also didn’t want to have tangled cables.

There are already 2 cables leading into the apartment and these are the satellite cables and they are enough.

I had problems on certain UPC channels.

That was because of the long coax cable that I had to lay and the Eurosignal (pager) at the Swisscom headquarters next door.

Now I have fiber optics and a LAN cable to the TV box.

Unfortunately, I still have problems with the Swisscom Tv Box and have to restart it regularly.

This is probably also due to the Eurosignal, as I have already replaced the box.

I’ve had problems with devices before, e.g. DVD players.

The stupid thing is that I can’t provide every room with satellite reception. I’ve never had more cable clutter. Of course I would be independent and it would be if I didn’t subscribe to Pay TV for free (free TV channels), but at least 2 rooms are supplied with Sky satellite.

Swisscom had the best solution ever with wireless TV transmission in the various rooms because it is IPTV and not the way UPC works, making it easier for customers.

At UPC, some of the channels are also IPTV, but some are also broadcast, i.e. via coaxial cable.

UPC has wanted to switch off broadcast for a long time, but older customers in particular want to get by with a remote control (which is also possible, but complex to set up) and not a box standing around. The TV has a tuner, so it is easier to set up the device. I also do this for my old mother.

If UPC Komplet switches to IP like Swisscom then I will let you know as quickly as possible.

I had a long conversation with Swisscom earlier, so things are looking bleak for the channels TNT Film and Pro 7 Fun.

According to one employee, “the channels will only continue to operate under the old contract. New contracts have not been negotiated and therefore the channels will no longer be operated in the future.”

Empty promises 😞 now I know where I stand at Swisscom…

The worst provider in Switzerland when it comes to pay TV! Really a shame.

For me it was final 🥀 it’s a shame but Pay TV in particular should be offering something decent.

Why are the two channels blue prime and stars listed as SD and not as HD channels on the blue max channel list? This must be a mistake, right?

I currently still have blue movie and am wondering whether I should switch to max. For CHF 10 less per month I have more additional channels with max than with movie. So where’s the catch?

The catch will be Blue City and Blue Retro and you will no longer be able to receive TNT Film and Romance with the change. The almost entire series package is included except RTL Crime and Passion, which were included in the TV L package. Pro7 Fun has been completely removed.

Ok, thank you for your answer.

As I found out earlier, the channels blue prime and stars are only available in SD, in contrast to action via max.

I find that very special because I have been receiving this channel in HD for many years via the movie package! So switching to max is currently out of the question for me. Broadcasting in SD these days is a joke!

I actually wanted to switch to the new blue Max package.

But the fact that the channel blue Prime and Stars should now only be broadcast in SD is a joke.

That’s not the case.

What makes you think that??

1. It’s in the online channel list from blue max –> filter by HD channel and you’ll see it!

2. At first I thought it was a mistake…but yesterday in the chat and then on the phone, because I couldn’t believe it, it was confirmed to me!

And where does your information come from?

Take a look => [Here](https://www.swisscom.ch/de/privatkunden/abos-tarife/inone-home/swisscom-blue-tv/sen der.html#cl%5BdQ4nYVw%5D%5B%5D=addons&cl%5Bdevice%5D%5B%5D=tv&cl%5BdzPy2pg%5D%5B%5D=11614) under additional packages blue max

Both Prime and Stars are labeled as SD only. The topic has already been addressed Here. Albeit with other channels. But it’s really chaotic.

Possibly @ThomasS can shed some light on whether there is an error and report it to those responsible so that the information will be revised.

I don’t care whether it’s SD or HD as long as I don’t pay more than 30 francs for pay TV.

When I think back, I have canceled quite a few packages in the last 4 months. I simply no longer fixate on Swisscom. I will also cancel the entire TV in a year. I’ve already invested too much money in this company.

It is correct: The interface that supplies the channel list on swisscom.ch is currently partially faulty. This is why the quality/package allocation is sometimes incorrect.

The relevant team is aware of the problem and will work on it in the coming year.

Alternatively, the channel list in My Swisscom Kundencenter can be consulted.

That’s all well and good, but it doesn’t answer my question. In order to choose blue max, these two blue channels mentioned must of course be available in HD, SD is probably a bad joke!
