Orange Unveils New TV Offerings

In a move to enhance its television services, Orange has introduced a suite of new features and channels for its subscribers. These updates aim to provide a more flexible and user-pleasant viewing experience, catering to the evolving needs of modern households. The two key highlights are the expanded availability of the Orange TV app and the introduction of a worldwide “Start Over” function.

Orange TV App: Entertainment Beyond the Set-Top Box

Orange is now offering its Orange TV submission to a broader range of customers. Previously restricted, the app is now available upon request to subscribers with Livebox, Livebox Up, and Livebox Max plans, as well as most Livebox customers excluding those with Just Livebox and Cheat_Code_18_26 plans. This expansion allows users to access Orange TV channels directly on their smart devices, mirroring the functionality of a traditional set-top box.

The Orange TV app provides a convenient solution for accessing content on secondary screens within the home or while traveling within France. This addresses the growing demand for multi-screen viewing, with recent studies indicating that over 60% of households now regularly use multiple devices to consume television content. Beyond live channels, the app also grants access to replay options, TV recording features, and a comprehensive Video-on-Demand (VOD) library.

Device Compatibility: The Orange TV app is compatible with a wide array of devices, including:

• Samsung Smart TVs (models from 2019 onwards with Tizen 5 or later)
• Android TV devices (running Android 9 or higher)
• Apple TV (HD or 4K models with tvOS 15 or later)

“Start Over” Feature: never Miss a Moment

Another notable addition is the universal “start Over” feature. This function allows viewers to restart a program from the beginning, even if they tuned in after it had already begun. This eliminates the need for pre-emptive recording or ensuring you’re watching precisely at the scheduled start time.

To utilize the “Start Over” feature,simply navigate to the desired program on a channel that supports the function and select the option to relaunch it from the beginning. This feature addresses a common frustration among viewers, offering greater control over their viewing experience. According to a recent survey, the ability to restart live programs is a highly valued feature among television subscribers, consumer Tech Insights, 2024.
