Vodafone TV: What Is the Vodafone TV and Broadband Deal?

Vodafone's cheapest TV and broadband package is its 500 Fibre Broadband and TV for €55 a month! Expanding our entertainment options has become a subject of importance over the years. Thankfully many telecoms companies have diversified their offerings so in our complete Vodafone TV guide, we'll walk you through all the TV offers that Vodafone Ireland has so you can get started with your savings now!

What Are the Vodafone TV Packages?

Keeping it nice and simple, Vodafone currently offers only two options for their TV services. Both of these necessitate taking out Vodafone broadband (although you don't need a Vodafone bill pay phone!), as the TV package cannot be purchased as a single service unless you are already with, or are joining Vodafone for broadband (much like with Eir TV).

Let’s take a quick look at these plans now.

How Do I Get Vodafone TV?

If you are wondering ‘How do I get Vodafone TV’, the process couldn't be simpler. Either navigate to the Vodafone TV bundles section of the website, and select your preferred joint TV and broadband bundle, or alternatively select a broadband-only package, and the option to add TV onto this should come up when heading towards the checkout.

Do I Need a Fibre Connection for Vodafone TV?

Bear in mind however that you require a fibre broadband connection to be able to access this service. Package availability is also limited by connections in your home and area. Vodafone has a built-in address checker facility on their available packages, which after using, will display what your home is capable of. Vodafone TV services are additionally only available to domestic users, and cannot be used in businesses (including hotels, pubs, B&B’s etc).

Vodafone broadband and TV bundles additionally come with unlimited downloads and a host of great features available on the Vodafone TV box. These include:

• Vodafone TV Key Features
• Restart TV - At the click of a button, instantly restart any show. No more just catching the last five minutes!
• Pause and rewind live TV
• Access over 80 channels, 32 of which are HD
• Integrated app access (subscriptions are not included in the package)

What Channels Do You Get with Vodafone TV?

The Vodafone TV package can be split into the following categories:

• Entertainment - 34 channels
• News & Documentary - 20 Channels
• Movies - 2 channels
• Kids - 11 Channels
• Sports - 3 Channels
• Music - 6 Channels

For the complete list of specific channels available, check out this list of Vodafone TV Channels guide.

The table does not include payable add-on channels.

What Are the Vodafone TV extra channels?

While the base TV bundle provides a great selection of channels covering the entertainment, movies, music, sports, kids, news and documentary genres, avid TV users might be interested in further expanding their available services by taking out a channel-pack add-on. All of the following channel packs are available to cancel at any time by contacting 1907, or by getting in touch with a live chat agent.

Further discounts are available by taking out multiple extra channel plans. To view the latest channel listings of the standard package, and the optional add-ons, check the Vodafone TV channels guide.

Are There Any Other Add-Ons for Vodafone TV?

A final add on option is the Vodafone TV Multiroom pack. While the basic TV plan allows you to utilise their service on only a single TV, with multiroom, you are able to purchase extra set-top boxes for installation in other rooms. By taking out this service, you can effectively take your TV shows with you, be it to the kitchen, dining room or bedroom.

That being said, coming in with an extra cost of €10 per additional room, per month, and an installation fee of €99 per box, this option may be a tad too pricey for the casual watcher. If, however, it still takes your fancy, orders can be placed by calling 1800 805 016, or by checking in with an agent via the Vodafone live chat.

Is There a Vodafone TV App?

As with most modern companies, Vodafone has branched out in the ways that its customers can manage and interact with their accounts. The Vodafone TV Anywhere app can be found on both Apple and Google Play stores and you can use your Vodafone login to access it.

These apps allow existing customers to access Vodafone TV channels for free, along with these features:

• Viewing live video streams
• Watch Catchup Videos
• Check the TV Anywhere channel guide, viewing up to 7 days in advance and the past
• Add up to two devices, be they mobiles or tables to allow for entertainment on the go
• Available over 3G, 4G and wifi networks

Sounds good right? Well, that depends on who you ask. Though the app seems to cover almost everything you could want, reviewers on both the Apple and Google Play stores have not reviewed the Vodafone TV app kindly overall. A common theme is that access to live videos can be patchy and that the app can freeze or simply time out. There are some supportive reviews also and it does get an overall 4.5 out of 5 on Apple, perhaps an update is due.

What Is the Vodafone TV Installations Process?

So you have sold yourself on upgrading to a TV package, but how simple is the installation process, and will it cause cable spaghetti through your living room? Unlike some of the other TV service providers, such as Three, Eir, Virgin Media, and Sky, Vodafone ensures the TV box installation is relatively painless.

Here are the pros and cons of the Vodafone TV installation process:

Can I Move My Vodafone TV Package to a New Home?

Moving home is never simple, particularly when it comes to transferring your services. For existing Vodafone TV customers, there is no need to order a new batch of set-top boxes and equipment, and you can simply bring your old ones to your new home.

Taking your services with you will necessitate the creation or renewal of a new contractual period of 12 months, however, in these cases, you will not be charged early termination fees for the contract belonging to the old property.

It is important that you let Vodafone know about the change of address as soon as you can in order that they can begin the service transferral process, and check that the new property is capable of supporting the contacts in your Vodafone TV bundle.

What Are the Contact Details for Vodafone TV?

Getting in touch with service providers has never been easier, with a myriad of options available. For a detailed look at your wider options, check this Vodafone contact guide. For Vodafone TV specific services, you can find the relevant information in the short table below

If you are seeking to cancel your existing Vodafone services, like your mobile broadband, a minimum notice period of one month is required. Bear in mind also that you may need to return your equipment to your service provider, as these are often only loaned to customers. Check the contractual details of your plan for further information in advance.
