Orange has just launched its new TV 6 decoder, emphasizing its more environmentally friendly design. But if the press release is indeed laudatory on the subject, essential in these times of ecological crisis, what about the technical advantages compared to those of other decoders available in France at the moment?
Let's start with the connectivity: the TV 6 decoder is equipped, on the back, with an HDMI socket, an Ethernet port and a USB plug. Which means that you can easily connect the device to most televisions available today. On the other hand, for some very recent screens, you will probably have to invest in purchasing a USB-C adapter. but this standard is still rare even at Free or Bouygues Télécom. For comparison, the Freebox Pop is entitled to an additional micro SD card slot. But the most recent universal standard is missing from this model.
Many apps are included
If we now compare the new TV 6 decoder with the Bbox 4K TV from the Bbox Miam at Bouygues Télécom, we see that many services are available on both of these devices. This is particularly the case of the American streaming service Disney+, or its number one competitor: Netflix.
The Orange press release also specifies that the TV 6 decoder can be controlled by voice. This is also the experience offered by the Apple TV with its Siri Remote, or by the Google Assistant of the Freebox Pop.
Still on the functionality side, let us also point out that the TV 6 decoder allows you to record up to three hundred hours of delay. This should compensate for the lack of an SD card slot, even if many capitalize on the cloud these days. Finally, be aware that wireless communications are provided by Wi-Fi 6. In the age of Wi-Fi 6E, which is more efficient, it's quite a shame, especially given the prices charged for wireless communications. ;#8217;gift the case. Wi-Fi 6E allows you to download films and series faster, with lower latency. Among others.
