TVY Play

TVY Play is a media library for all TVY channels with live TV, which started operations on January 1, 2020.

History
On January 1, 2020, TVY Play started operations for students from all universities in Yopodia and Kuhdorf. TVY Play was originally supposed to cost € 12.99 from March 2020. This plan was discontinued only 4 days later and it was decided instead to take RAY Video on Demand out of the program for good this year.

TVY Play didn't have live TV yet and only knowledge-on-demand content was available. TVY Play had the first logo with a new TVY logo.

On February 1, 2020, TVY Play was officially activated for everyone and further topics (including crime, drama and information) were added.

On March 16, 2020, the topic of children was added due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On May 1, 2020, the remaining topics were added.

On August 1, 2020, it was no longer necessary to log in to TVY Play.

On November 14, 2020, the login function was discontinued.

On May 12, 2021, TVY Play was added exclusively in Germany to Vodafone Giga TV, in Austria to A1 Xplore TV and in Switzerland to UPC Horizon.

On October 15, 2021, all TVY Sport online channels were removed from TVY Play and moved to TVY Sport's own web portal with live TV section.

On October 20, 2021, the exclusive TVY Glass app was launched with the market launch of Sky's own Smart TV Sky Glass in Yopodia. The app should soon be available on all Apple devices.
