On the one hand, to navigate through the Vodafone TV menu, invoking “Hello Atika”, asking from movie and series recommendations to even putting an exact minute of any title . We can also ask you to increase the volume, change the channel or record any program.
That in terms of browsing Vodafone TV, but if what we want is information about anything else, or ask to use any other contracted service, such as Spotify, then we will have to ask Alexa, also available in the decoder itself, as it already happens. with other sound equipment such as SONOS,
The equipment is completed also has WiFi 6 connectivity and Bluetooth 5.0.
Finally, the new Vodafone decoder will be available to all Vodafone customers from July 26 . It will be sold under a monthly rent of five euros , an interesting offer considering that the “normal” decoder, Vodafone TV 4K, is sold at a rate of three euros per month.
