On this common basis, the five light TV players put together significantly different subscriptions. Example : Telesat TV Light APP. For €9.95 per month, customers can enjoy the 18 channels in the package via the Internet connection of their choice. Everywhere else, it is at least mandatory to combine light TV and the operator’s Internet connection on the same bill.
Smart TV highly recommended
Must be attentive at three major points at the time of taking out such a subscription. It must be checked :
- The list of channels, to be sure that your favorite channels are indeed present.
- The absence or presence of replay and recording programs.
- The compatibility of the application with your smart TV.
If the “app” is not available or compatible with your television, it will be necessary to use a Chromecast key, an Apple TV box or a multimedia box powered by the Android TV operating system.

The best compromise
Our pick: Orange TV Lite.
For €50.50 per month once combined with the operator’s basic Internet connection, Orange TV Lite combines a convincing selection of TV channels with the possibility of recording programs and storing them for sixty days. There is everything in the bouquet, from the essential generalist channels to those reserved for children.
The most complete
Our choice: Proximus Light TV.
It is by far the most comprehensive lightweight digital television service. All the boxes are checked: replay, recordings, quality of the application, number of channels (32). The major problem is that Proximus allows you to subscribe to the Light TV option only in combination with Internet and a SIM card.
The most free
Our pick: Telesat APP TV Light.
Telesat’s APP TV Light is sold on its own, with no obligation to subscribe to one or more of the operator’s other telecom products. It completely changes the game. It is possible to freely choose the Internet connection to which to associate the service.
