New and only with Android 12
What is changing with the new Android operating system?
The TV experience remains the same. You can still access all TV content and features as before. Android 12 additionally offers some optional new features, such as Google Assistant, Google Play and Chromecast built-in™.
To be able to use Swisscom Box, you will first need to accept Google’s Terms of Service.
Does Google have access to my data?
We do not send any data to Google. This applies in particular to blue TV usage. If you use features such as Google Assistant or Google Play, these are subject to the same regulations as the use of other Google features, which have to be accepted in advance.
Do I need a Google account?
You will only need a Google account for additional features such as Google Play.
Where can I find the apps on blue TV?
Select the Apps option on the home screen. This will take you to all pre-installed apps. To add more apps, open the Google Play app.
How can I view my mobile photos and videos on the TV?
Chromecast built-in™ lets you stream your videos, photos and music from your smartphone right to your TV. You can also use Chromecast built-in to view content from the most common streaming apps on the TV from an Apple device.
Go to Google instructions(opens in new tab)
You can also use the myCloud app to view photos from your mobile phone on the TV.
How is the Google Assistant different from Voice Control?
Swisscom Voice Control can be used to search for content on blue TV or to control the TV-Box (e.g. change channels, adjust the volume, start a recording, open the TV Guide). To activate, simply press the microphone button on the blue TV remote control.
You can use the Google Assistant to search for movies and programmes on live TV or streaming apps such as Netflix, ask for recommendations, control Smart Home devices and more. To activate, select the microphone icon on the home screen (top left) or via the Options menu.
