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

Dear Community,

From October 24, the new TV-Box 5 is available. It is more complete, more durable and half the size of the old model.

  • Access to more than 5,000 applications 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, headsets and speakers
  • Easily stream your favorite movies, music and more to your TV from your smartphone with Chromecast built-inTM

More sustainable than ever

The TV-Box 5 consumes 35% less electricity than the Swisscom Box 21. It includes 65% recycled plastic and has 100% plastic-free packaging. Due to its more compact format, it requires fewer resources overall for its manufacturing, transport and packaging.

TV-Box 5 powered by Android TVTM

The TV experience remains the same, but you can now also enjoy features such as Google Assistant, Google Play and Chromecast built-in.

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

Swisscom voice control (Voice Control) remains available via the microphone button on the blue TV remote control.

New generation of Apple TV 4K

In addition to the TV-Box 5, we also offer the Apple TV 4K 128 GB, with its specific remote control. Smaller than the previous model, it offers more memory (128 GB instead of 32 GB) and consumes less electricity. In addition, thanks to HDR10+, image quality is further improved and the new A15 Bionic chip boosts its performance.

What do you think of the new TV-Box? Don’t hesitate to leave us a comment!

Good morning.

I like having the new Swisscom Hardware. However, I cannot have Box 4 internet (I have 3) because I am only on copper (fiber unavailable).

On the other hand, how much does this TV Box 5 cost? Because I could order it and change my Box 21.

By the way, if anyone has an even older TV Box, can I give them my 21? (That is to say by connecting to this person it will put this data from their subscription in?) Thank you

Hi @PTT,

I can’t answer you yet about the price.

But on the other hand you can very well give your box 21 to someone without worry; This person will just need to do a reset with a pointed object inserted into the small black hole marked Reset. She will do this when she is connected to her home. This will erase all your data and reload the latest software available and load all the data she had on her current box. She will find her favorites, her recordings, etc.

If you are afraid of giving away your box with your data, you can also do a reset WITHOUT BEING CONNECTED to your network and this will already erase your data.

Hello everyone and thank you for welcoming our new box.

The new TV-Box 5 is CHF 99.- to purchase and free for new customers.

It can be ordered from October 24 online or via our customer service.

Regarding the fact of transferring their TV-Box to another person, it is necessary that they contact us, so that we can carry out a manipulation and so that they can benefit from their TV-Box.

I am delighted with this Box 5.

Between Prelude and Layla disagreement for using old TV Box 21 given to a friend. Too bad that old or even very old customers are still poorly considered since no discount (without it being given).

Good morning,

What are the connections at the back of this box? Is it capable of reading the ripped formats of my Bluray 4k HDR (around 80mbits/sec)? I wanted to buy an Nvidia Shield PRO or a Zidoo Z20 pro but if this model can play hdr10, hdr10+, dolby vision, dts:x and dolby Atmos formats, it would save me resources.

Thanks in advance

120 people to design this TV 5 box?
Is this a joke?
Only 10% or 12 people work and the 90% or 108 pretend to work or just talk to generate wind?

Justification of the 120 people in support?

the information given by the moderator is complementary and not contradictory 😁

? Oh?!

We will do a reset and see if it works (it seems to me so in another home) especially if she has activated Simply Digital she will not be able to ask to just activate the replacement of the Box. However, a Box is not linked to an order (in absolute terms someone could order 4 Boxes which they would give to friends to replace an old one 😉)

The TV Box 5 will be in the store on Tuesday so……

My 2020 high-end TV also refuses my high-end mobile to broadcast photos or music via Bluetooth (I connect it via HDMI)

ChromeCast should allow me to broadcast this directly without sending to the Cloud.

In short, it criticizes Swisscom a lot in many places, ok it’s no longer PTT Telecom neither for employees nor for customer service but I am proud to have a complete offer at Swisscom (of what my home can deliver to me in power)

Thank you in passing for this nice help forum!

Good morning,

Questions:

- Will the new box use the Blue TV application found on the Google Play Store?

- If yes, will other boxes such as the Shield TV be able to benefit from all the functions?

- If not, what about boxes such as Shield TV? Will the application once be able to be at box level? Or can we install the same configuration as the new box?

Thanks in advance.
