Swiss telco Swisscom will bundle its IPTV platform Swisscom TV with streaming service Netflix through a joint subscription from January 27, 2020.
For CHF50 (€47) per month, Swisscom TV X will combine several hundred channels, 1,200 hours of recording, 7-day replay and the Netflix standard tariff in HD for the parallel use of two streams. Notably, Netflix is not just available as an app, but integrated together with the TV content on a single user interface.
An upgrade to Netflix Premium for a surcharge of CHF5 per month allows the use of four streams simultaneously and also adds UHD and HDR. The Swisscom TV set-top box supports the HDR standard Dolby Vision, which is also used by Netflix.
Swisscom customers who already use Netflix can switch to Swisscom TV X and transfer their existing Netflix account to the subscription during the registration process.
