Game over for the Free Player Devialet
Launched in 2018, the Player Devialet was the result of a close collaboration between Free and the famous French audio system company, based in Paris. This revolutionary TV box, equipped with six speakers and Alexa compatible, was then offered as a “luxury” player, priced at 480 euros.
In January 2022, the Player Devialet was finally available for rental. It was then offered at 6.99 euros per month for new Freebox Delta subscribers, and in multi TV for 9.99 euros per month for Freebox Pop & Delta subscribers. Today, Free sounds the death knell for this player, who never really managed to seduce.

Note that Netflix Essential HD is also included in the offer. The Player Devialet is still available for migration.
The Freebox Delta offer is currently offered at a price of 39.99 euros per month for one year, Player TV Pop included. The subscription is non-binding, and the rate will be reassessed to 49.99 euros per month once the promotional period of twelve months has elapsed.
