TV payante remains expensive (up to CHF 50/month in Switzerland) while an IPTV plan offers 100x more content for 3-4x less.
Here's how to migrate cleanly without losing your favourite channels.
Step 1: list your essential TV payante channels
Before cancelling, write down what you actually watch: chaînes sport, chaînes cinéma, chaînes sport internationales, chaînes sport, chaînes cinéma… Almost all are included in a premium IPTV plan.
Step 2: trial IPTV in parallel for 24 h
Use the free trial to make sure all your channels are present and stable. Test at peak times (8pm, live matches).
Step 3: cancel TV payante respecting notice period
- Swiss pay-TV: 1-month notice, by letter or customer area
- TV payante française: 1-month notice after the 24-month commitment
- Return the decoder within 30 days to avoid fees
