New: TV-Box 5 and 128GB Apple TV 4K

Dear friends and dear friends of the Community!

The new TV-Box 5 will be launched on 24 October . It is much more versatile and sustainable and is half the size of the previous model.

  • Access to over 5,000 apps available on Google Play
  • Talk to Google Assistant to do more on your TV
  • Dolby Atmos for immersive sound
  • Built-in Bluetooth to connect wireless headphones and speakers
  • Easily cast your favorite movies, music and more to your TV from your smartphone with Chromecast built-inTM

Even more sustainable

The TV-Box 5 uses 35% less power than the Swisscom Box 21 model, is made from 65% recycled plastic and features 100% plastic-free packaging. Given its small size, it consumes fewer resources overall in the manufacturing, transportation and packaging phases.

TV-Box 5 powered by Android TVTM

The TV experience remains the same, but now you can also take advantage of features like Google Assistant, Google Play and Chromecast built-in.

Do more on your TV with voice. Press the colored Google Assistant button at the top left of the remote. This way you can search for content in live TV, on-demand and streaming apps, open an app, change channels, get answers to questions, control Smart Home devices and much more.

You can continue to use Swisscom voice control (Voice Control) by pressing the Microphone button on the remote control blue TV.

A new generation of Apple TV 4K

In addition to the TV-Box 5, the Swisscom offer also includes Apple TV 4K 128 GB, the new TV-Box with matching remote control. It is more compact than the previous model, has more memory (128 GB instead of 32 GB) and consumes less electricity. Furthermore, HDR10+ technology offers even better image quality and the new A15 Bionic chip is even faster and more powerful.

What do you think of the new TV-Box? We await your comments!

TV-Box are interchangeable and are automatically recognized during installation. Limitation may occur if multiple TV receivers are operating at the same time.

Go to My Swisscom > Your products > Your TV-Box and TV devices
check the number of recognized TV-Box and delete the unused ones.

To watch blue TV with all the functions on up to 4 additional televisions, you need the Multiroom option
