Switzerland's historical solution, recognised service quality but high price (CHF 39.90 to 59.90/month) with a 12 to 24-month commitment and hardware rental. 30-day replay is a paid add-on. Worth it if you want everything from the same operator as your Swisscom fibre.
A good mainstream alternative at CHF 29.90 to 49.90/month. Smaller channel catalogue than pure IPTV and 12-month commitment. Tightly integrated with Sunrise mobile/internet bundles, less flexible standalone.
Aggressive on bundled fibre + TV pricing. Standalone TV stays around CHF 39.95/month. Limited catalogue, 7-day replay included, proprietary box required.
For Swiss households that want the national channels (RTS, SRF, RSI) plus international bouquets without renting a box or signing up, a pure OTT IPTV like SwissBoxIPTV remains the best value: CHF 15/month, activated in 2 hours, one-week money-back, works on every device you already own.
If you want a single Internet + TV provider and accept a long commitment, Swisscom blue TV is still relevant. If you're already a Sunrise or Salt mobile customer, their bundles can offset the higher TV price.
