- Modifié
On March 11, 2025, a TV Change Day will take place, which will result in a major change for our UPC customers with old UPC products. With this change, we are freeing up network capacity so that Sunrise can continue to offer first-class and reliable network quality and speed in the future.
The most important facts in brief:
- UPC Horizon Box customers are facing the biggest change with this Change Day. The TV service of the Horizon Box will be completely discontinued.
- For customers with an old UPC Digicard or Mediabox, the number of available channels will change depending on the channel package.
- Customers with a UPC cable connection can look forward to benefiting from additional channels (channels directly via cable socket).
Horizon TV Box:
Customers with a UPC Horizon Box have already been asked in the past to switch to Sunrise TV because their TV Box is outdated. This week, affected customers will receive a further notification informing them that their Horizon TV Box will no longer work for the TV service after 11.03.2025. For further information and to migrate to our Sunrise products, we recommend contacting UPC customer service on 0800 66 88 66.
