The video discusses KPN TV Plus, a new media player launched by KPN. It provides live television and streaming services, serving as a competitor to other platforms like Ziggo, Smart TVs, and media players like Apple TV 4K and Chromecast.
KPN TV Plus is only available for new customers, while existing KPN customers can switch to the new service over time. The device is a decoder that connects to the remote control via Bluetooth. It features a long remote control with navigation buttons positioned conveniently. The device has Chromecast built-in but does not support AirPlay, meaning it's compatible with Android smartphones but not iPhones.
The box supports all popular standards for the best image quality, including 4K, HDM with Dolby Vision HDR 10, HDR 10 Plus, and HLG, and Dolby Atmos sound. It's made of recycled plastic and has an eco mode that makes it start up slower but uses less power when on standby.
KPN TV Plus costs €12 per month for live television and streaming, or €350 per month for streaming only. It also includes internet via KPN and a subscription to streaming services like Netflix, Videoland, and others.
The device runs on Android TV with KPN's own interface over it. It offers a combination of live television and streaming in one interface, with television channels at the top, followed by favorite apps and streaming apps.
In terms of competition, KPN TV Plus is slightly more expensive than Ziggo's offering, but it offers a more pleasant way to present films and series. However, the reviewer concludes that KPN TV Plus is best suited for people who primarily watch television and find apps from streaming services on their Smart TV to be too much of a hassle.
