Netflix, HBO Max and Live Television
Vodafone TV will include Netflix Standard with Ads and HBO Max Standard with Ads. Customers will also have the option to add other HBO Max tiers through Vodafone’s Subscription+ platform.
The platform comes with Freely built in, giving viewers access to more than 70 live channels and thousands of hours of on-demand programming from broadcasters including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. It does not require a satellite dish or conventional television aerial, as content is delivered over the internet.
Vodafone says the service will offer over 150 additional live channels alongside those available through Freely. Customers will also be able to add services such as Disney+, YouTube Premium, DAZN, Spotify and Amazon Prime through Subscription+ on a 30-day rolling basis.
The company is positioning Vodafone TV as a unified entertainment experience that reduces the need to move between different streaming applications and interfaces.
At the centre of the service is a compact set-top box powered by Android TV. The device supports 4K picture quality, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on compatible content and equipment.
It is equipped with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, which Vodafone says should provide smooth navigation, streaming and gaming. Thousands of applications will be available through the Google Play Store.
The accompanying remote control includes Google Assistant support, enabling viewers to search for content using voice commands. Dedicated shortcut buttons provide direct access to Freely, Netflix, HBO Max and Prime Video.
Vodafone TV also features AI-powered Smart Search and personalised recommendations linked to individual user profiles. These capabilities are designed to help users discover programmes across live television, streaming services, games and applications from one interface.
More Than 300 Cloud Games
Beyond television and streaming, Vodafone TV will provide access to over 300 cloud-based games. Users can play using a compatible Bluetooth controller or their smartphone, without requiring a separate gaming console.
Customers will also be able to rent or purchase newly released films through Vodafone Box Office. Parental controls secured through a Master PIN will help families manage the content accessible to different users.
Vodafone TV will come with a companion mobile application. Viewers can begin watching selected content on their television and continue on another supported device while away from home. Profiles, favourites, recommendations and gaming activity will be synchronised across devices.
The company is also promoting the service alongside Vodafone SuperMobile, its premium mobile proposition powered by 5G+ FastTrack. Vodafone claims the service can deliver speeds up to four times faster in high-demand areas than its standard mobile plans, subject to plan, device and usage conditions.
Vodafone Expands Beyond Connectivity
The launch brings Vodafone into closer competition with established UK television and entertainment providers such as Sky, Virgin Media O2 and BT. Unlike traditional pay-TV platforms that may rely on aerial or satellite infrastructure, Vodafone TV is designed as an internet-delivered service.
Vodafone says it will become the only UK mobile network operator to bundle television with both mobile and mobile-broadband plans. However, its competitiveness will ultimately depend on the monthly pricing, contract terms and precise composition of the packages, which are expected to be detailed closer to the October launch.
