Seeing what was on the horizon, TDS worked quickly to launch an integrated and intelligent TV service that brings live TV, on-demand content, personalized recommendations and streaming services together in one place.

“TDS TV+ makes navigating the variety of TV services much easier,” said Julie Maiers, senior vice president of marketing, sales and customer operations for TDS. “The straightforward interface is simple to use. Customers enjoy having their streaming apps, live TV and on-demand TV all in one place, and they really appreciate no longer juggling remote controls.”

What’s also featured with TDS TV+ is parental controls. TDS TV+ allows you to set up a PIN to help make sure your family has access to only the shows you want them to watch. Note: these controls are for each set-top box or TDS TV+ device, which is nice if you have a TV in a space your kids don’t use.

“TDS TV+ allows customers to search, schedule, record and watch their favorite programs in one place,” Maiers said. “In addition to watching live TV on all your TDS TV+ receivers, you can record up to 10 shows and stream on up to five devices all at once, eliminating family conflicts over who gets to watch their show. TDS TV+ is an integrated and intelligent entertainment experience.” 

For customers who have TDS TV+ service, it’s easier than ever to stream favorite movies and shows with the TDS TV+ app! The app allows consumers to watch live TV and set, manage and watch OnePass DVR recordings from a phone or tablet. Customers can now stay connected and informed and catch favorite shows anywhere in their home, even if they’re not in front of their TV.

The TDS TV+ app is available for use on the following devices: Amazon Fire TV Sticks, Apple TV devices, Android phones and tablets and Apple iOS devices (iPhones and iPads). Hot money-saving tip for those who use an Amazon Fire Stick or an Apple TV with their TV setup: customers can save on receiver rental fees by downloading the TDS TV+ app on these devices. Customers receive the same great experience with less hardware. 

Customers can also catch breaking news, live sports and other content using the streaming apps offered by the networks available in your programming package. Just log in using the username or email address and password tied to your TDS account.

Customer education videos are also part of the TDS TV+ experience. They include a welcome video, how to use streaming video apps, how to record a show and how to use OnePass DVR, which allows you to record multiple videos.

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed consumers to learn new ways to entertain themselves, with many turning to internet-based content. Advances in technology have changed the way video content is being delivered and involved the migration from traditional broadcasting platforms to digital distribution over the internet with a wide range of connected devices. 

With TDS TV+, customers can catch old favorite shows and new shows all in either live TV or streaming apps. It’s entertainment made easy. To learn more about TDS TV+, go to HelloTDS.com or call 855-696-8368.
