Orange is preparing to launch an application for Android TV and Apple TV. The operator would like to offer users the possibility of watching live TV directly from their box and their connected television.
Last year, in the middle of summer, Orange surveyed its customers to learn more about their usage habits regarding TV boxes and connected televisions, with the aim of “ to study the feasibility of a future experiment “. Several months after this study, things seem to have progressed well for the French operator, which has now launched a test with its subscribers. In a few days, Android TV and Apple TV users will be able to preview the future application.
Orange TV comes to Android TV and Apple TV
If you are an Orange subscriber, then you have probably already heard of the Lab. This platform, which allows the community to participate in the operator’s latest innovations, now offers those who wish to preview the future application for Android TV and Apple TV. Called Smart TV, this allows you “ to access all your content on the different screens in your home (or outside) without using the decoder “.
At this time, we do not have any concrete information regarding the functionalities of this application. However, it is a safe bet that it will be strongly inspired by the one we already know on Samsung televisions. As a reminder, the latter offers the possibility of watching programs live or in replay, accessing your VODs or even scheduling recordings from your different devices (Smart TV, tablet, smartphone, etc.).
The first testers will soon be able to benefit from it
For those Orange subscribers among you who would like to be among the first testers of the Smart TV application, please note that you can now register from this page. If you are lucky enough to be among those selected, know that the test will begin on April 8 and will last for two months, until June.
In any case, this is excellent news for Orange customers wishing to enjoy television anywhere, but also for the operator, who will thus be able to reduce the gap on its main competitors, namely Free and Bouygues. Indeed, remember that the OQEE and B.tv applications have been accessible for a long time now on Android TV and Apple TV.

- Excessive power for a TV box
- tvOS 16, still as complete and fluid
- All video formats available with HDR10+ support
For this new generation, Apple is improving its TV box inaugurated in 2015 in small steps. Smaller, much lighter, but also more powerful and energy efficient, the Apple TV 4K 2022 remains one of the most complete and the most efficient available on the market.
Apple also took advantage of this version to lower the entry price a little, to €169 for the Wi-Fi version and €189 for the version with an Ethernet port. However, this remains much more expensive than its direct competitors, Google and Amazon, closer to €70 to €100.
The Apple TV 4K 2022 is ultimately only of interest to fans of the brand, who wish to extend their user experience on their television, or to aesthetes of image and sound who will benefit from a device more than complete with a technical point of view. The others will move on and stay on their connected TV, much less elegant, but just as capable for streaming video.
