Dazn, this is how the A games will be seen on Timvision
Network, modem, decoder: here's how to watch Dazn's Serie A matches on TimVision
Serie A also lands on TimVision.
The streaming TV will broadcast, thanks to an agreement with Dazn, the 10 matches of each Serie A Tim championship round for the three-year period 2021/2024. Also available the entire sports and on demand catalog of the Ott company that has beaten Sky's competition.
Here's what the customer has to do to watch the championship.
THE SUBSCRIPTION
The first step is to subscribe to the Football offer on TimVision. Prices, at the moment, are still being defined, but they could be more attractive than those presented by Dazn given that TimVision is the most complete hub of streaming content, thanks to the numerous agreements signed in recent years, starting with those with Disney +, Netflix and Prime Video. To all this is added the TimVision Box which guarantees the best view of the Serie A Tim.
FIXED NETWORK CONNECTION
A broadband / ultrabroadband fixed network connection is not necessary, but it is definitely preferable to be able to watch the games. Those who want to watch the game in high definition (Full HD) must have a connection of at least 7 Mbps (the ADSL connection ensures this speed for most customers). It is also possible to request the activation of a new Tim fixed or mobile line and at the same time activate the Football offer on TimVision.
EVOLVING NETWORK
The telco is working to update its network, organized on 32 national Pops (Points of Presence) that collect traffic in as many Italian cities and their related geographical areas. Each Pop contains a Cdn (Content Delivery Network) infrastructure for the delivery of Unicast video streams.
THE TRANSMISSION
The CDNs will have a crucial role in the transmission of the games: Tim, in fact, will receive the video streams from Dazn (as today), but instead of transporting them in Ott mode he will use his own CDN (for all customers served in Unicast, for . mobile customers) or its Multicast Abr (Adaptive Bit Rate) platform, designed specifically for the distribution of massive live events.
THE ROLE OF MULTICAST
Through Multicast, in fact, it is possible to send the same video signal to different customers who request it, avoiding the transmission over the entire network of duplicate video streams to optimize live streaming.
As explained in technical environments, the distribution is 'tree', that is with the duplication of flows that occurs as close as possible to the customer who requests it (typically the last node of the access network). If the Unicast transmission is of the point-to-point type, the Multicast transmission is of the point-to-multipoint type.
THE MODEM
Devices also have their importance. The ideal modem for watching Serie A matches is Wi-Fi 360 Serie A Tim, which boasts an ultrabroadband connection up to 1 Gbps, ensuring total coverage of the home and quality for viewing Full HD content.
THE DECODER
The decoder is also important for the enjoyment of the matches: the TimVision Box, which optimizes the management of connectivity for viewing content and stabilizes its continuity (the so-called buffering), is included in the Football offer. It is not necessary to have a smart TV.
Not only. The decoder enables any TV to the new digital terrestrial (Dvbt-2). The set top box also works on fixed connectivity from other operators and can be connected to the 4G and 5G mobile network. The decoder has a bluetooth remote control (greater responsiveness and control of the TV from any angle) and is an AndroidTV device with advanced features such as commands and voice search, Google Cast and the ability to access all the Apps on the Android Store.
INSTALLATION
To install the decoder it will be possible to view the video tutorials that will be published on Tim's website, accessible via the QR code located in the Quick Guide, present in the decoder pack.
