4K seemed to be here to stay to improve the offer of content in the best resolution. However, with the passage of time, not a few users have been able to see first-hand how these alternatives that Vodafone boasted about have faded away one by one. But what has happened?
Keep in mind that, in order to enjoy the 4K channels offered by the red operator within its TV offer, you must have contracted the packages that include these alternatives or have Total TV. In addition, of course, to having a TV, screen or projector compatible with this resolution. The bad side is that, as we mentioned, these options have been eliminated.
Goodbye to 4K channels
The list, at first, was not the most extensive. And although everyone imagined that with the passage of time it would increase, for now, the reality has been different. Not too long ago, we found the following list of 4K channels on Vodafone:
- Odyssey 4K.
- SlowChannel 4K.
- Decase 4K.
- 4K Kitchen Channel.
- Insight 4K.
- Stingray Festival 4K.
- Funbox 4K.
At the time, we already warned you that the operator would lose two options at this resolution from its TV catalog: Festival 4K and Funbox 4K. And the main problem of their goodbye has been that the money they have invested in them to have them, has not been worth it.
Low demand, fewer alternatives
At the time of renewing the contracts of these channels to continue offering them to its customers, Vodafone has seen that the demand for these channels has not reached its expectations . Therefore, if their price has risen or it is a high investment when renewing them, it has led to the operator’s final solution being to remove them from their catalogue.
Precisely for this reason, we have been seeing how more Vodafone 4K channels were disappearing . Last year we already said goodbye to Festival 4K and Funbox 4K, however, they have not been the only ones that have been discarded from the operator’s offices. And it is that, before these two, we already had to say goodbye to Insight 4K . So instead of continuing to make more channels at this resolution over the months, we now have even fewer than we started with. And, for the moment, it does not seem to improve the situation.
Even if we take a quick look at the Vodafone website, within the section of its 4K decoder, we can find a quick questions section to answer users who have different questions. Among them, we find ourselves with the curious question “What channels broadcast in 4K on Vodafone TV?“. The worst of all is that they don’t even talk about channels, they only focus on the fact that, within the platform, we can find HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Filmin, Netflix, YouTube, National Geographic + and Tidal. Therefore, they only talk about content in general, without giving many details. And this is because we barely came across Odyssey 4K and Slow Channel 4K.
