Tivify: how to watch more than 80 TV channels for free and online

Although leisure habits have changed in our society, television continues to be the most used channel for information and entertainment. So the statistics say: we still spend more hours on TV than on the Internet, streaming platforms and video games. That's why projects like tivify they have come to succeed.

What is Tivify? Broadly speaking, it could be defined as a platform that offers us a combined offer of free and pay television channels, as well as video on demand services. But not only that: it is also capable of classifying content based on the tastes and interests of us, the users, providing us with personalized recommendations.

At first glance, it seems that Tivify aspires to achieve the impossible. Opening a gap, no matter how small, in a market where there is such fierce competition is a challenge. But he has good arguments for getting it.

The idea for this project was born within TV Up Media Telecom. This company was founded by two entrepreneurs with long experience in the technology sector: Eudald Domènech and Francisco Sáez. 

The showcase where Tivify offers its products is very well stocked. In addition to the conventional television networks, offers us almost all payment channels (13th Street, Cosmopolitan, Fox, Nickelodeon and similar) and also the large video-on-demand platforms, such as Netflix,HBO o Amazon Prime. In short, an impressive offer of movies, series, programs and documentaries. In total, more than 80 free and online TV channels. Entertainment with capital letters and for all tastes. And with excellent visual quality.

In addition to the web version, Tivify has an app for iPhone and Android mobiles or tablets. These are the download links:

The designers have thought of everything and endeavored to provide viewers with means with which to manage the channels, using artificial intelligence and big data to order content. In this sense, the admirable work of the editors must be valued.

The key is in the classification of the contents according to the tastes and interests of the users. The star of this functionality is iGuideTV. As its name suggests, this is a personalized guide for each of the users, which is configured day by day according to their preferences and real choices.

However, there are many other practical Tivify functionalities that we classify below:

    • 150 hours of recordings in the cloud and access to them for 90 days.
    • Option to recover programs broadcast in the last seven days (on authorized channels).
    • Multi-screen access: TV, tablet, smartphone and PC.

How much does Tivify cost?

Tivify is offered to users with a free plan plus two different paid plans.

An offer as huge as the one that Tivify brings us obviously has to be paid. However, it must be said that its price is relatively low if we take into account all the advantages it offers.

It should be noted that the access to the platform It can be done both from a simple television and through all kinds of multimedia players (mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc). Speaking specifically of smartphones, at the moment it will only be available on Android TV devices. Those responsible for the platform say that soon you will be able to enjoy the advantages of Tivify in Amazon Fire, Chromecast, LG y Samsung.

Initially Tivify was launched with two different modes, both paid, respectively called "Basic Plan" and "XXL". However, to make the product more attractive, this was changed and Tivify is currently offered on three plans: Free, Plus and Premium. All plans have some common services such as program restart and control. All without stays and without additional costs.

Free Plan

As the name implies, it is a plan for free (hence the attention-grabbing Tivify "All Free TV" ad promotion).

It allows users to link up to three devices with a single account, but without the possibility of simultaneous display. It also offers up to 60 hours of recordings (only on some of the channels) with a maximum availability of 30 days. The function of access to programs broadcast in the last seven days is limited to TVE and regional channels.

Plan Plus

El Plan Plus Tivify is an expanded version of the previous one. It has a cost of € 4,99 per month and includes six premium themed channels. It offers a free one-month trial period.

With it, up to five devices can be linked, although the simultaneous use of these is restricted to only two. Of course, the capacities in terms of the number of hours of available recordings and storage in the cloud are much greater: 150 hours of recordings with a maximum availability of 90 days.

Premium Plan

At the time of writing this article the Premium Plan it's just a project that, if all goes according to plan, will be launched in no time. When that happens, your price will be € 9,99 per month.

It is practically a very similar plan to the Plus, although what makes the big difference is the number of premium channels that can be accessed, up to fifteen.
