EE’s Broadband TV Service Adds 25 Premium Channels

Customers of EE’s TV (IPTV) service, which is usually taken alongside their fixed line broadband and phone bundles, should note that the ISP has just added 25 premium channels (Discovery, British Eurosport, Cartoon Network, HISTORY, Sony Movies etc.) as part of a new deal with TVPlayer.

Apparently new and existing EE TV customers will be access the channels through the On Demand section of their EE TV set-top-box for a £4.99 per month rolling subscription and early adopters will also benefit from a two month free trial.

Simeon Bird, Director of EE Broadband & TV, said:

“EE TV customers have always loved being able to pick and choose premium channels without the commitment of a fixed contract or a hefty monthly fee. These 25 new channels offer something for everyone, whether you like sport, documentaries, lifestyle shows, or want to keep the family entertained. It’s a great addition to EE TV’s On Demand section, which already contains a huge range of movies, entertainment, music, kids and international content.”

TVPlayer welcomes the opportunity to bring our diverse range of premium channels onto EE TV – an exciting new addition to the mobile devices already supported” says Dan Finch, Commercial Director at Simplestream. “Now consumers can watch fantastic programmes from Discovery Channel, British Eurosport, HISTORY®, National Geographic and Sony Movie Channel straight into their living room without having to sign up to a long term contract and at an affordable price.”

The enhancement is similar to EE’s earlier deal with Sky’s NOW TV service and just like that arrangement you can also get TVPlayer as a completely separate service, without needing to take EE’s bundle, although you’ll only get a 30 day free trial via that route.
