T-Mobile has introduced its new home TV service, TVision Home, marking the telecom's ambitions to take on the television market.
The new platform comes as T-Mobile rebrands and upgrades Layer3 TV, a company that the telecom secured in 2017. TVision Home will release in Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington DC metro areas, as well as Longmont CO later this year.
 
T-Mobile says the launch brings it “ One step deeper to taking on Big Cable”.
The cable channel lineup consists of “ Over 150 channels, local broadcast, regional sports and more.' Additionally, T-Mobile states that the TVision user experience is AI driven and will recommend shows based on the time of day or your normal viewing habits.
 
The un-carrier also announced that Netflix and other streaming apps will be available on TVision Home, and discussed plans for TVision to run on popular third-party TV platforms in the future. “ The Un-carrier has already changed wireless for good and today’s news brings us one step nearer to taking on Big Cable,” said John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile. “ And with the New T-Mobile, we can do more than just offer home TV service … we can offer millions of Americans more choice and competition for TV AND home broadband. “ I can’t wait to begin un-cabling cable and providing millions the opportunity to cut the cord with Big Cable forever.”
