Broadband and mobile customers of Vodafone UK may like to know that the telecoms provider has today made their new pay TV product available to take, which is said to be priced from an additional £10 a month, or subscribers can get their ‘TV Essential‘ plan – including Netflix and HBO Max – for £17 a month.
The new pay TV solution was first soft launched a month ago (here), but at the time they didn’t reveal much about its pricing or a precise launch date, which changes today. The new service is being centred around a small plug-in Android-based hub (set-top-box), which is made by ZTE (ZXV10 B866V6N4 VF / VTV4 Mini) and based off Android TV v14 – featuring an Amlogic S905X5M system-on-chip, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
The set-top-box will harness Netgem’s PLEIO IPTV platform (here), albeit via Vodafone’s own choice of hardware and content line-up. The original announcement made clear that this will support the new Freely TV platform, an additional 150+ live TV channels, 300+ games and thousands more content Apps through the Google Play Store. The box also supports 4K (Ultra HD), Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio.
