Swisscom has launched an integrated TV service for PC and mobile,
combining IPTV delivered using a DSL line with mobile TV streamed over
its EDGE or WCDMA/HSPA networks. The service costs CHF9 (EUR6.30) per
month and includes 34 live TV HD channels that can be watched via PCs,
laptops or mobile phones. Exclusive live Teleclub broadcasts of
football and ice hockey games are available at CHF5 per game, while
films and sports programmes can be purchased individually without a
subscription.
Roughly 80 days before the World Cup, Swisscom TV air is bringing TV
to your mobile and computer. For CHF 9 a month, customers can watch TV
at home and on the move. Sports fans can watch exclusive live sporting
events for CHF 5 per game. And the vast range of Video on Demand films
from Swisscom TV is also now available on your computer. Swisscom TV
air will replace the current Swisscom TV mobile offering.
Swisscom TV air is the next chapter in the success story of Swisscom
TV. Swisscom is the first provider in Switzerland to enable customers
to watch TV on all three screens: television, computer and mobile
phone. For CHF 9 a month, customers can receive 34 live TV channels in
high definition at home on their PC or laptop or on their mobile while
out and about. There are also 70 radio stations and numerous video
clips available for free via your computer. Ten more television
channels will be added in May 2010.
For CHF 5 per game, football and ice hockey fans can watch exclusive
live broadcasts from Teleclub on their computer or on their mobile.
Customers can turn their computer into a cinema with circa 500 films
and documentaries already available from just CHF 3.50. All films and
sports programmes are available to purchase individually without a
subscription. The clear and intuitive menu gives Swisscom TV air
customers an overview of all current TV programmes at all times. The
menu is the same on all three screens which makes it easy to use.
Available on all computers and most modern mobile phones
Customers need a DSL line or a mobile subscription to use Swisscom TV
air. Swisscom TV air works on all standard operating systems and is
available on most modern mobile phones. Swisscom customers will receive
Swisscom TV air for a fixed price; data traffic is included in the
price. Customers on other mobile networks who have a Swisscom Internet
connection can also watch TV on their mobiles, but they may be charged
for data traffic by their mobile provider.

Swisscom TV air to replace Swisscom TV mobile
Swisscom TV air will replace Swisscom TV mobile with immediate
effect. The benefits for existing customers will be two-fold. They can
now watch TV on their computers, and only have to pay CHF 9 instead of
CHF 16. Following the launch of the new TV offering, Swisscom will also
be discontinuing its DVB-H service for residential customers. At the
moment there are not enough DVB-H compatible devices to make the
service a success. The DVB-H network will remain in place for the time
being.
