What has changed for replay TV in Switzerland?
New regulations for time-shifted TV (replay TV) apply in Switzerland. Broadcasters that are part of the new industry agreement can now place dynamic advertising formats with TV streaming providers. This means, for example, you can be shown a short video when you start a replay broadcast. At this stage, we expect this dynamic advertising to be much shorter than linear TV advertising. However, unlike linear TV ads, the new ad formats are no longer skippable without an additional «skip ad» function.
Is the new «skip ad» option for CHF 5.00 per month worth it for me?
This will largely depend on your individual circumstances. If you mainly watch public channels (SRF, ARD, ZDF, ORF, etc.) or international channels outside of Switzerland and Germany, you will probably never come across the new replay ads, or only rarely. And those who frequently watch recordings or download content won’t either. For those who mainly consume the various private channels of the RTL Group, ProSiebenSat.1 Media and CH Media (3+,4+,5+, TV24, etc.) and use the pause or rewind function a lot for replay broadcasts, the additional option may well be worth it. Another big advantage over before is the «skip ad» function: You can now skip the conventional advertising in replay broadcasts with just one click and carry on watching from the right place again – to the exact second. Prefer the old way? No problem: You can switch back to the other subscription model at any time with just a few clicks.

How can I pay for the TV subscription?
You can pay for the subscription by credit card (VISA or Mastercard), Postcard or TWINT. If you combine the TV subscription with an Internet subscription, you can also choose to pay by invoice or eBill.
Does the TV subscription work with any Internet provider?
Yes, the subscription doesn’t depend on the Internet connection and can basically be combined with an Internet subscription from any provider. However, the best choice is an Internet subscription from Teleboy, as it is perfectly matched to the TV subscription. You also get a great discount when signing up in combination with Teleboy Internet.
Is a TV box included when ordering a TV subscription?
As with Netflix, Disney, Sky, etc., no streaming box is included with Teleboy. But many users already have a suitable player (smartphone, tablet, PC, TV, other streaming box) and everyone can decide for themselves what kind of device they want to use.
