Smart TVs can replace traditional TV decoders

Smart TVs are increasingly capable of replacing traditional TV decoders, potentially reducing monthly costs for households. Many fiber internet offers now exclude decoders from lower-priced tiers, reserving them for premium subscriptions.

Modern connected televisions allow users to access content through native applications. This includes broadcaster-specific apps like France.tv, TF1+, and 6play, as well as streaming platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+. Services like Molotov also provide access to live channels via streaming, covering most standard household needs without the need for additional hardware.
