19,000 employees work at Swisscom

120 represent 0.631% of the workforce 😁

@Papaye Hello

For older boxes, as is the case for the TV 21 box, the system is based on Android Open Source. On the other hand, for the new TV box 5, the system has switched to official Android TV for Operator Tier (AOT).

This allows access to all applications in the Google Play Store, in addition to finally having access to all applications.

However, this requires creating a Google account to access the Play Store. Plus, Chromecast is built-in, which is a big advantage.

Happy Sunday Doremi

Have fun with this new latest generation box.

Have a nice day Doremi

From today, the new TV-Box 5 is available. 👏

Done for these 2 articles, thank you

Hello

Received today already 4 reboots because message no more TV signal.

Android recognition is in limbo

Full of bugs

In short, not great on my side

In my opinion, unfinished product

Thank you @Tubelectroniks, for your feedback.

Did you use the HDMI cable that came with the box?

If the reboots are not enough, a RESET is necessary with a pointed object inserted for no more than a second into the small black hole.

What brand and model of TV do you have?

Hello

Did you use the HDMI cable that came with the box?

No It’s a high performance cable from Digitec (which goes very well with the old box 21)

The problems are more in the transition between Goolge Tv and Swisswcom Box functions

Example:

- you press the Google button and its button without doing anything

- You go to integrated Googlecast and you come back message no more TV signal (reboot)

- I will try the reset

- when switching between Google and Swisscom the display can take up to 4 seconds before returning

But I think it’s more a youth illness

Tubelectroniks

Same with me! Quite slow I find too. And it’s a shame that you can’t put an app shortcut on the menu (only the apps offered by Swisscom pad).

@Tubelectroniks

-"Did you use the HDMI cable that came with the box?

Precisely, you insert the cable supplied with the box that you just received please, because it is different from the others. There is no point coming here with problems if you don’t use this original cable. I have this box connected with the new HDMI cable, and I haven’t encountered any major bugs.

Hello

FYI, the reset after the first installation seems to have done some good

The apps don’t react the same way, for example channel plus asks me for the country after the second reset..

The HDMI cable is the same as the first try. (It is already a High speed and Ethernet cable)

I give my feedback here and I see that I am not the only one to have this same type of problem.

I will let you know what happens next

The brand of the TV is LG, but I don’t think the problem comes from this side, but rather from the side of the integration between the SwissomOS part and Google TV.

Tubelectroniks

It would be nice if @Tubelectroniks and @MonBug111 told us what brand and model of tv they have.

This might help developers.

2 Samsung TVs on my side… so standard I guess. But I echo what @Tubelectroniks mentions…. The box itself seems to work pretty well. It’s really the Swisscom app that seems to be poorly integrated into Google TV, and riddled with bugs.

Or more precisely, the integration between Swisscom OS and Google TV

Hello So there is Swisscom OS for linear TV and Google TV on the box? And the Google store apps I’m waiting a bit to get it

but one question we can already have Disney plus.

@Stéphane.phill: yes it seems… It’s really Swisscom OS on the box, but with the Google Store and Apps. With a Google Preferences menu within the Swisscom OS preference menu.

In the end, after a first day of testing/use, I regret box 21. Everything was much smoother. My advice to everyone… WAIT before jumping on this Box 5…

@Prelude @Gaeilgeoir Hello

Have you noticed any slowness, bugs or unexpected restarts?

@Gaeilgeoir, have you seen people on the Swiss German forum reporting this kind of problem?

Hi @Doremi I don’t have this kind of problem and I haven’t seen anything on the German-speaking forum since yesterday’s roll-out either, we’re mainly talking about sound problems with the corresponding audio systems. But we will see in the coming days what happens. But I can advise everyone to use the supplied cables, no matter how high-speed the others are, but they are not the same. I also had some problems at the beginning with the Swisscombox 21, because I was using the same cables as the previous model (UHD Box), only after switching to the supplied cables did things improve.
