We want to subscribe to DAZN because we are interested in the live football offer it offers. However, we do have a bad internet connection, which could cause a match to be blocked right in the middle of an action.
If this problem exists, the communication company offers different methods, in order to guarantee, in a perfect way, the vision of its contents.
For this reason it is possible to see DAZN even in areas where fiber coverage is not guaranteed, or where a backup solution is needed, for viewing events broadcast online.
To take advantage of this offer:
- it is necessary to purchase a separate decoder: through which the signal of the DAZN digital terrestrial channel can be received.
In this article we will give the best possible information: on prices and on how to access these solutions.
Preliminary information
DAZN offers different types of subscriptions:
- the basic offer is 29,99 euros per month, which includes all the events offered by the streaming platform, and the possibility of accessing the digital terrestrial channel, with special decoders, not included in the price,
- the service can be used by a wide range of devices (see on the DAZN page), and simultaneous viewing on two devices is supported,
- the duration of the subscription is on a monthly basis, with the possibility of canceling the service when desired and without penalties,
- it is possible to pause the subscription as long as we want: the cost of the service will be deducted on the payment method, chosen when purchasing the monthly pass.
There are no price differences between the streaming subscription and the one including the digital terrestrial channel, apart from the price of the decoder, which must be purchased separately.
DAZN has entered into a partnership with TIM, for viewing the services also through the TIMvision platform.
Currently, the cost for viewing DAZN through TIMvision is € 29,90 per month, including subscription to TIMvision, Infinity +, TIMvision Box decoder and activation installments. Unlike DAZN, the possibility of pausing or canceling your monthly subscription when we want is excluded, and there is an initial activation cost of € 19,90 one-off.
In case of withdrawal, before the completion of the payments foreseen by the plan, the customer will still be required to pay the remaining activation installments.
