Megafon TV: features of connection and use

Nowadays, to watch TV channels you no longer need an antenna, or even the TV itself. Now you can enjoy your favorite TV programs from any device that has stable Internet access.

All Big Four operators offer their own options for connecting TV via the Internet. Megafon did not stand aside.

Let's take a closer look at what this service is and how it works. Let's talk about channel packages, subscription costs, connection methods on different devices.

Megafon TV - television of the 21st century

It is not difficult to notice from the name Megafon TV that the service was created by the mobile operator MegaFon. More recently, only its subscribers could subscribe to this service. But now anyone has the opportunity to purchase this type of service and use it.

Megafon TV provides access to a huge variety of television channels using the worldwide Internet, which can be used both on the TV and on other gadgets - from personal computers to smartphones.
