O2 TV customers have been expecting changes in the program offer across tariffs since the summer. Because the operator’s existing contract with the AMC group has expired and the companies have not been able to agree on new terms, they will terminate ten program positions with the distributor’s programs.
On June 30, 2021, the last stations available on O2 TV will be AMC (tariffs Bronze, Silver, Gold), Film+ (Silver, Gold tariffs), spectrum (tariffs Bronze, Silver, Gold), Sport1 (tariffs Bronze, Silver, Gold), Sport2 (Silver, Gold tariffs), Sport3 (Silver, Gold tariffs), Minimax (tariffs Bronze, Silver, Gold), JimJam (Silver, Gold tariffs), Spektrum Home (Silver, Gold tariffs) and TV Pepper (tariffs Bronze, Silver, Gold).
At the end of June, any recordings made from these stations will also be deleted. Of course, no future will be procured.
At the end of June, the station also decided to leave the Czech market Pornhub TV. It was included in the Zlatá tariff. Thus, a total of 11 stations will disappear from the O2 TV offer. All changes will take place automatically, but you may need to restart the device or “drop” the application and restart it.
