Misunderstanding with new Contract/TV connect instead of second Smartcard

kosti89 — Thu, 03 Feb 2022 22:26:23 GMT

Hello,

I am a Vodafone Kabel customer since many years and I receive the TV and HD Premium from Vodafone on my Smartcard from SkyQ. Everything works perfectly fine since many years. Today I decided to order an additional smartcard for the Ci+Modul for my other TV. I entered the serial number of my Ci+Modul and it was clearly indicated that I do not need to pay additional money for this option I selected. However, I just received an email from Vodafone with a new contract:

19.99 euros (monthly?) for Vodafone TV Connect

49.99 euros additional fee

I really do not understand! I already pay for Vodafone Basic (3.99)+ Premium HD (9,99) each month. I really tought that having a second Smartcard was free of monthly charge. If it is the case that for this additional SmartCard I have to pay additionally 19.99 euros per month I would like to definitly cancel what I ordered today.

I really hope someone helps me here, as my german is not good enough for a phone call. Thank you so much!

Best,

Kosti

What federal state are you from? Do you already pay for the cable connection (TV Connect) via the ancillary costs?

From Hamburg. And I already pay the cable connection via the ancillary costs. It was strange to see that I need a TV Connect when I already have the cable connection on the flat...

Then you can book a second ticket that contains the private ones in HD (BasicTV). This costs you €29.99 for activation and €9.99 for shipping.
The prerequisite is, of course, that you have your own CI+ module and state the serial number when ordering. If this is not the case, a CI+ module must be booked for €3.00/month.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, this is not possible in self-service, you have to contact customer service (note: hotline only in German!) or you wait until a mod can contact you here. But that can take a few days.
If you have already ordered the other contract, send an email to kabel-widerruf@vodafone.com immediately and cancel the order.

Hi kosti89,

I have had a look at it. You have moved in 2019. There is no contract with your landlord at the new address. Therefore, each household has to sign a TV Connect contract themselves. Your previous contract is currently tolerated, but TV Connect is automatically booked with a new booking.

Best regards

Lars

Hi Lars,

Thank you very much for your reply. Does that mean that from now on is it mandatory that I pay the additional 19,99 euros per month for the TV connect or can I let the contract without any change as it is at the moment?

Could you please cancel the contract for the additional Smart Card and TV connect? I would really like to keep everything as it was before ordering this new card.
thank you for your help
