1The prerequisite for receiving UHD programs is the new Swisscom TV-Box (UHD-capable), a UHD-capable TV set and a minimum bandwidth of 40 Mbit/s (check availability at swisscom.ch/checker). * only for French customers ** only for Italian customers *** only for German customers

Sorry, but I would have expected more for the most expensive provider in Switzerland…

The silent shutdown of Motorvision TV and the justification is simply weak.

And at Paramount Italia the station board is still that they are trying to find a replacement, they could have just let it continue like Zattoo or UPC, then they wouldn’t have to look for a replacement at all. I suspect that it was more of an interim “change day”. We will see.

@SamuelD why don’t you get the three UHD channels “on top” of the slots already in use so that you can see them in UHD on live TV and in HD on replay? This also worked on Eurosport 1, when replay was only possible in SD.

Another thing, how do you access these channels using voice control? With the addition of UHD or what?

You have to ask yourself why Swisscom doesn’t manage to connect SRG’s 1080p channels? This is starting to look almost intentional.


Yes, I’m starting to believe in intention too. I’m definitely considering switching now.

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen a good alternative to the TV box anywhere. I would miss the ability to select channels using the number buttons. And no S****se/U*C is not an alternative. And I don’t want M-Budget either, that’s “somehow” still Swisscom.

Something different, since we’re dealing with the fantastic “+” channels, is there no longer any teletext? I didn’t even notice that they had set it up (you can see how often I look at it🤣), it shows that these channels don’t support teletext (i.e. 3+, 4+, etc.) and not in the HD version either .
