Orange TV is also compatible with the Amazon Fire TV Stick, a device that allows us to view all the operator’s content on any television without having to have an Internet connection or applications that a Smart TV has. With Orange TV we can watch channels in 4K and HD and it already has more than 40,000 different titles between documentaries, movies or series. In addition, it also has a videoclub with almost 1,000 films.
New Orange TV functionality
As we already anticipated in the headline, Orange TV can now be controlled with Alexa. Orange, the orange operator, offers us the possibility of controlling the decoder Orange TV with our voice through any of the devices that have Amazon Alexa integrated.
In this way, Orange has reinforced its innovative positioning related to voice control, now adding Alexa to the integration of the Google Assistant which has been available since summer 2019. This new service is very easy to use, it is enough to have a device that has integrated Alexa and a decoder compatible with Orange TV without the need for the user to register or provide any data personal.

Alexa features on Orange TV
Through Alexa we can not only perform basic actions such as turning on, off or changing our decoder volume through our voice, but we can also perform more advanced actions how to access all the contents of Orange TV. For example, we can ask you to put on a series or movie just by saying “Alexa, put me a science fiction movie” or “Alexa, put Breaking Bad”.
Carlos Fernández Casares, Responsible for Business Development of Alexa in Spain states that “we are happy that Orange has opted for Amazon Alexa to offer customers the possibility of controlling their tv experience using something as simple as voice. Thus, Alexa will continue to make the day-to-day life of more and more customers easier ”.
From Orange, Carlos Ruf, Head of Operations at Orange TV, explains that “our objective with the control of Orange TV through voice is to provide our customers with a natural interaction with the TV service, which facilitates the access to content they want to see at all times, regardless of the voice device they have. One more bet on our ambition to continue offering the best user experience with Orange TV ”.
Once the two devices have been linked, the only thing left is to start enjoying our favorite movies, series or documentaries by asking Alexa to play them.
