CANAL + is no longer just a television channel: it is now a group of channels and a platform for watching films,


For a long time, CANAL + was a simple encrypted channel whose access was conditioned on the possession of a decoder to connect to the television, associated with a paid subscription. If today the subscription is still valid, the decoder has become an option that it is possible to do without. In fact, CANAL + has made a very strong digital shift in recent years, and relies heavily on IPTV. All the subscription offers available on the CANAL + site are offered, basic, without a decoder, with access that can be done from various connected screens. If you have a Smart TV, you can use the myCANAL application on your screen, but other solutions exist.

You can subscribe to CANAL + from 20.99 euros per month to take advantage of the basic channel package, but other offers are available, such as CANAL + Ciné Séries from 25.99 euros per month, or CANAL + Sport from 34.99 euros per month.

Now that you know more about CANAL + subscriptions, it's time to find out how you can enjoy them on your television: as you will see, there are many ways to access CANAL + and especially the myCANAL application, you should therefore find one that suits you.

Install CANAL + on your connected TV

Connected TV, or Smart TV, comes with an operating system and is able to connect to the Internet to help you enjoy a lot of entertainment.

The majority of brands rely on Android TV: this is the case of Sony, Philips, TCL, Panasonic and many others.

Samsung is one of the exceptions with its Tizen OS, as is LG, which offers WebOS on its connected TVs.

Some recent Philips models work with Sapphi.

Either way, you should have no problem finding the myCANAL app in the app market available within these different operating systems.

You just need to install it in a few moments, then open it in order to connect to your CANAL + account.

Then, the movie night is yours.

Install CANAL + on a multimedia box

If you have an older TV with limited connectivity, you can invest in a Fire TV Stick type box from Amazon, Chromecast or Chromecast TV from Google, or a Xiaomi Mi Box or Nvidia Shield media box.

These different devices plug into one of the HDMI ports on your television set, and connect to the Internet via WiFi.

It then gives you access to an operating system, usually Android TV (or Fire OS in the case of a Fire TV Stick), on which you can install the myCANAL application in a few minutes.

Install CANAL + on an Internet Box

CANAL + has agreements with various French Internet service providers.

With this in mind, it is not uncommon for the myCANAL application to be preinstalled on your Internet Box connected to your television.

If this is not the case, it is very likely that you can download it easily from the entertainment or multimedia section of your Box.

Note, however, that even if the application is installed as standard, this does not mean that you have access to CANAL +: you must still be a subscriber to enjoy the various contents of the channel package and associated services.

However, it happens that ISPs offer preferential rates during certain periods of the year, do not hesitate to inquire about this point.

Install CANAL + on a game console

If you have a Sony (PS4, PS5) or Microsoft (Xbox One, Xbox Series) game console then you can download the myCANAL application on it.

Indeed, the service is available in the entertainment / multimedia part of the interface of these consoles.

You can go directly to the application market which is also found within the interface to download the application for free.

This method is simply to connect your computer and your TV using an HDMI cable, and configure the TV as if it were a PC monitor. In HDMI, the TV is recognized automatically by the computer, which greatly facilitates the process. However, you have to make sure that your PC has an HDMI output: this is not always the case with laptops. Then, all you have to do is open the browser of your choice on your television, and use your keyboard and mouse to connect directly to the myCANAL site.The streaming of the movie or series of your choice can be displayed in full screen on your TV, and you just have to enjoy it that way.
