"EE, the mobile network operator and internet provider, has always included entertainment as part of its offering, from movies to cinema tickets. With EE TV, the company makes a bigger play for home entertainment, offering a greater incentive to opt for its broadband service.
To get EE TV you'll have to sign up for an EE broadband package, but the good thing is that the set-top box is free to new subscribers and there's no cost for using it, other than the £9.95 a month broadband fee, and £15.75 monthly line rental.
In many ways, EE TV is more of a natural rival to BT and TalkTalk's YouView offering because it is Freeview based, although naturally there's some crossover with dedicated TV services from Sky and Virgin Media.
That makes EE TV and attractive proposition at first glance: it brings a dynamic approach to Freeview+ HD, with a smattering of smart TV functionality thrown in, with some very clever second screen functions.
(...)
Verdict
EE TV offers an attractive approach to TV, with a second screen experience and support for smartphones and tablets that's very compelling. Four tuners mean a third and fourth device can view separate channels or be used to recording instead.
Importantly it all works without fuss, meaning you're not tied to the sofa when you want to watch something on the box. If you're constantly squabbling over what to watch, then EE TV gives you flexibility, and we really like the speed and fluidity of the interface, even if the predominance of channel logos over text means you'll sometimes need a second glance at things to see where you are.
There's an obvious hole in the on-demand services offered though. While that won't matter to those who want to use their phone or tablet, it's a step behind some of the other TV services and bringing ITV Player and 4oD should be a priority. We'd also like the option to easily filter or search - for example to find HD channels faster.
Overall, EE TV is a good set-top box offering. The multi-device connected experience is the real appeal, especially for those with busy households, and it offers good value for money for EE customers. "

Published 10 Dec 2014
"...That's all great, but its main party trick is to stream TV over Wi-Fi to your smartphone or tablet.
Amazingly it's able to stream video content to up to four connected devices at once, though that number also includes the television it is connected to. It can stream four different live programmes simultaneously using its four separate tuners, unless they're being used for recording other channels of course.
Still, this will be a great feature for families who don’t all want to watch television together. The EE TV box can then act as a hub, serving either live TV or recorded shows to devices around the home."

CONCLUSION
RépondreSupprimerEE TV is a great set-top box if you’re looking for a subscription-free Freeview box.
Its four tuners alone make it stand out, but the ability to stream to tablets around the home is simply brilliant. The smartphone and tablet interface works really well as a remote control and flicking content to the big screen is seamless. The current lack of Netflix, Demand 5 and 4OD is a pity, but most people will have other options for watching these if desired.
If you're on EE and meet the requirements to get the box for free then you should certainly take it up. Those on other broadband packages, who don't pay for additional channels, should also consider EE TV if the streaming technology is of interest. BT charges £5 a month for its equivalent YouView+ PVR, which can't stream to mobile devices, but then you do get BT Sport with that.

Another great review:
RépondreSupprimer"Final verdict
EE TV is a great piece of kit for anyone who wants one of the most flexible PVRs on the market. It’s incredibly rare to be able to stream recordings and live TV to tablets and smartphones, and it’s even rarer to see it done with an app that works as advertised and looks brilliant. I loved the way you can flick live TV show, or recording from a tablet or phone back onto the TV too, it’s a smart idea and makes watching TV super-flexible.
For anyone happy with their EE broadband service, and wants to stay, the EE TV box is a no-brainer. It has loads to offer and it’s easily one of the better Freeview recorders on the market, with the potential to outdo even YouView if it can attract more app support and streaming services.
