We have already sent you the access data and password for the WiFi by email before your stay. You will need the same access data for the Smart TV.
Our apartments are equipped with Samsung Smart TVs. With the Smart TVs you can stream movies, shows and series with your own subscription (Netflix, Disney, etc.) without additional devices or a cable connection.
Instructions for using the Smart TVs:
Teleboy App
The Teleboy app is pre-installed on your Smart TV. You can watch 10 hours of TV every month free of charge and ad-free. Please note that these 10 ad-free hours per month are limited – after that, the app will still be available, but with ads. So if you watch a lot at the beginning of the month, a new guest may have fewer options at the end of the month.
Want to watch more? With a Teleboy paid subscription you can watch unlimited and without advertising.
We offer you the Teleboy subscription with a discount code:
Price: CHF 9.90 per month (instead of CHF 14.90) – valid for a maximum of 240 months
Subscription code: SWISSLODGING
Validity: until 31.12.2025
The subscription can be canceled monthly. You can find more information on the Teleboy website.
Direct link to redeem: Teleboy
Please note: The discount code is only valid for new tenants and cannot be combined with other codes.
Your own streaming apps
If you already use your own apps, you can also install them on the Smart TV. To do this, follow the instructions.
If you have any questions about using the TV or the apps, please contact us.
