Anyone out there has experience with Alice homeTV?

I am considering AliceFun flat, and the option of Alice homeTV, since I don't have a TV.
But my German is too limited to figure out the following:
Is it some kind of online TV, which you watch with a computer? Or you need to hook it up with a TV? Are there many English Channels? How about the image/sound quality?

Thanks!

It's streaming Video over the internet. It requires you to buy the Set Top Box seperatly, a 1 time setup fee of 49,90 Eur, 9,90 Eur Per month for the basic package. If you want one of the other 3 packages (Big Entertainment, MTV or Turkish programs) it will cast you an extra 14,90/2,90 or 22,90 per month. There is also a 5 Eur. setup feee anytime you cahnge your TV packages.

The Speed of the DSL Line offered by this package (4MB) is 2MB under the standard of 6MB, and is prob. not good enough to watch a TV stream, Call on the phone (VOIP) and surf.. Most other providers offering this tripple play package, provide the DSL line at 16MB. My Opinion is it isn't worth it.

Here is the list of Stations. There are some English Channels, but most wouldn't be worth spending $ for.
If you want propper English TV, Contact one of the TT Advertisers, and get a Sky setup...

Thank you very much!
I'll drop it then.

Almost got used to life without TV, but I will miss the tennis matches and figure skating.

Hi, my new place has no TV connection at all so I'm considering Alice TV because of a couple of English news channel compared to the DVBT option which has no English channels at all, at least not in this region (from what I read).

So my question is, do the Alice Movies come in English too? Or just Deutsch?

Thanks!

You need to double check whether you can get it as well. I've just signed up for Alice and it's not available where I am.
