\"\"Solution #1: use your family\u2019s TV subscription
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the family\u2019s house, everyone watches TV and connects to internet with a subscription to a national operator (Swisscom, Salt, Sunrise, UPC, Net, etc.). The most operators propose to watch TV with an application for computer, tablet or smartphone or on their website.<\/p>\n

\"\"Solution #2: use an appropriated website<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many websites for watching television. The best known are wilmaa.com, zattoo.com, molotov.tv, the list is long! Some also have developed an application for computer, tablet or smartphone. The principle is more or less the same on all these websites. The user starts by creating an account and once logged in he can choose the program. These services are not completely free. The free basic service frequently offers lower quality and commercial breaks are frequent. By choosing the fee-based service, you benefit of high-definition images, the possibility of recording videos and so on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Solution #3: use a TV device or Smart TV<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are boxes to connect to a television to broadcast different programs. The offer depends on the chosen devices. The two main products on the market are Google Chromecast and Apple TV. Google Chromecast is the cheapest model. Directly connected to the TV, it is managed via a smartphone to transmit the chosen program. More expensive, Apple TV offers additional services like a connection of a file server (NAS), photo – slideshow etc. Smart TV\u2019s are televisions equipped with an Internet-connected module that allows the operation of many online services.<\/p>\n
