Orange Belgium enriches its Internet + TV offer with a mobile application that allows customers to control their TV decoder and manage their recordings, even when they're not at home
Today Orange is launching its mobile application to offer customers new features that will further improve their Orange TV experience:
- TV Guide: the application gives a clear overview of the TV guide on mobile phones and tablets (-30 up to +14 days), which makes it easy to decide what to see on TV and what needs to be recorded, whether the customer is at home or not.
- Recording: customers can schedule and/or record programmes via the app or add a reminder, which is very handy when the customer is not at home. The app works in 3G/4G and wifi. So no stress should they discover they forgot to record their favourite TV show. It is easy to manage recording conflicts or cancel scheduled recordings, or even run a clean-up of the TV decoder's hard disk.
- Remote control: customers can also use the TV app to completely control the decoder, even when they're not at home.
- Direct link to social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter to share precious TV moments.
- The app contains a search engine to find TV shows (with detailed info + actions like reminder, record.) and a help function for any assistance needed: mobile app help and TV decoder help.
The Orange TV app is free and available for iOS in the App Store and for Android in Google Play as of today. The app is called: Orange TV BE.
Premium content for everyone
Cristina Zanchi, Chief Consumer Officer, explains: "Since the launch of Orange Internet + TV in March 2016, we've continued to enrich our TV content by giving access to a series of thematic channels without charging any additional fees to our customers. No need to pay more to enjoy watching premium content, that's our philosophy. And we'll keep enriching our content over the course of next year. We are also working on the possibility of watching TV shows live via the Orange TV application."
Over the past few months, Orange has added several popular channels to its list, like the option Eleven Sports that includes the channels Eleven and Eleven Sports (with a value of 10€/month, but Orange offers this for free for all subscriptions until 31/03/2017) to surprise Orange customers who like to watch sports channels.
