How TDS TV+ is the ultimate entertainment hub

Are you ready for a TV experience that seamlessly combines live programming and streaming apps, all in one convenient place?

Fall brings with it the best assortment of TV shows, sports, and entertainment—and now is the perfect time to upgrade your home viewing experience without breaking the bank. TDS TV+ is your all-in-one solution for both live and streaming content, providing the easiest way to switch between your favorite shows and movies without the hassle of multiple remotes or inputs.

Navigate TDS TV+ Like a Pro

Your journey begins at the Home Screen, where live video plays in the background, and the easy-to-use Navigation Bar and SmartBar offer quick access to your entertainment options. Key features include:

  • Watch TV: Instantly jump into live programming.
  • My Shows: Access all your saved content, including recordings and streaming app favorites.
  • What to Watch: Browse live, On-Demand, or streaming content, neatly organized into categories.
  • Guide: Check out two weeks of upcoming shows or browse 72 hours of recorded programming you may have missed.
  • Apps & Games: Access over 5,000 apps, turning your TDS TV+ receiver into an entertainment hub similar to an Apple TV Roku or Amazon Fire Stick.

Seamlessly switch between live TV and streaming apps

While streaming services have transformed TV, live events—especially sports and reality TV—keep many viewers connected to live programming. With TDS TV+, you don’t have to choose. TDS TV+ gives you the power to switch effortlessly between TV and your favorite streaming services like Netflix* and Prime Video*. No more switching inputs or fumbling with remotes—everything is organized for easy access in the SmartBar.

TDS TV+ also makes navigation incredibly easy with jump channels. These jump channels eliminate the need to leave the live TV section during a viewing session. Simply enter a streaming service’s corresponding channel number to launch your favorite app instantly. For example, Netflix is available on channel 500, and Prime Video on channel 504.

Voice commands with Google Assistant

Say goodbye to endless scrolling with voice search, powered by Google Assistant. Want to watch the latest episode of CBS’ Survivor? Just say, “Find Survivor,” and Google Assistant will do the rest.

 OnePass: your personal TV concierge

Never miss a show or game again, thanks to TDS TV+’s OnePass feature. OnePass collects all available episodes from live TV, streaming apps, and On Demand into one place—your “My Shows” list. It even lets you customize recording settings, ensuring you catch every new episode, game, or movie, all while managing your DVR storage.

Stay up to date with the excitement
