1. Eltrona in brief — who is this operator?
Eltrona Interdiffusion S.A. was founded in 1969 by Henri Denzle, originally as a cable TV distribution specialist. This historic expertise in cable television is what distinguishes Eltrona from its competitors: unlike POST, Tango or Orange, which rely largely on POST Luxembourg’s infrastructure, Eltrona operates its own cable network across the Grand Duchy.
Key milestones include: launch of digital TV in 2006, introduction of HD in 2010, takeover of SFR and Coditel (Telenet) activities in Luxembourg in 2020, and acquisition by the Telenet group in 2022. Today the operator employs 150+ staff and covers around 85% of Luxembourg households.
Eltrona received the nPerf 2025 gold medal for the best fixed network performance in Luxembourg — an independent award attesting to the reliability and speed of its network.

The Eltrona TV+ app works on any internet network in Luxembourg, not exclusively on the Eltrona network. You can subscribe to Eltrona TV even if your internet is with another operator — Eltrona recommends combining Internet + TV for optimal HD streaming quality and the permanent Combo discount.
6. Combo offers — Internet, TV and Mobile
| Combination | Monthly saving | Annual saving |
|---|---|---|
| Internet + TV or Internet + Mobile | −€20/month | −€240/year |
| Internet + TV + Mobile (Triple Play) | −€30/month | −€360/year |
Source: eltrona.lu — Combo offers — September 2026. For exact pricing, check our TV comparison tool.
Internet GiGA only → standard rate
+ TV App → −€20/month = −€240/year permanently
+ Mobile → −€30/month total = −€360/year permanently
These discounts are permanent — not limited to a promotional period.
Services can be added or removed at any time via the customer area.
For new residents in Luxembourg, the Eltrona Combo is particularly well-suited: internet installation guaranteed within 7 days, simple documents required (ID, proof of address, European IBAN), and TV available immediately after downloading the app. Eltrona Combos (Internet + TV + Mobile) account for the majority of Eltrona subscriptions processed through Switchr. The typical users are often expats or young professionals who refuse 24-month commitments on principle. For households with children or homeowners, the logic of long-term commitment with POST, Tango or Orange remains dominant — our Switchr data confirms this clearly.
7. Advantages and disadvantages of Eltrona TV
Strengths
100+ HD channels in base package. 8 languages — ideal for multicultural Luxembourg households. No commitment — cancel at any time at no cost. Multi-screen app without mandatory decoder. Cloud recording up to 200h. SKY Deutschland packages unique in Luxembourg. Own cable network — better stability. Price guaranteed 24 months — no surprise increases. Lifetime Combo savings (−€20 to −€30/month). Physical stores across Luxembourg. nPerf 2025 gold medal (best fixed network in Luxembourg).
Points to watch before subscribing
Coverage limited to ~85% of households (not universal). SKY Entertainment and SKY Cinema require a physical box. SKY packages subject to a 12-month contract. Cable network = limited upload compared to FTTH fibre of competitors. Fewer premium French-language sport channels in the base package. TV offer less developed in premium channels than POST or Tango.
Our verdict: Eltrona TV is an excellent option for households wanting a simple, no-commitment offering with comprehensive multilingual coverage — particularly for German-speaking residents and mixed families. The SKY packages make it unique on the Luxembourg market. However, households prioritising French-language premium sport channels or advanced features (4K, very large recording capacity) may find POST or Orange more suitable.
8. Is Eltrona TV right for you?
German-speaking or Franco-German households
With 40+ German HD channels and SKY Deutschland packages, Eltrona is the reference operator for Luxembourg residents of German origin or families wanting to combine French and German TV in the best conditions.
New arrivals in Luxembourg
100% online subscription, instant TV access via the app (no technician wait), and availability in 8 languages make it ideal for expats settling in Luxembourg who want to be up and running quickly.
Flexible profiles wanting zero commitment
If you’re on a temporary assignment, awaiting a move, or simply want to try a service before committing long-term, Eltrona’s no-commitment policy is a major advantage over competitors’ 24-month offers.
Multi-screen households
No single decoder tied to one TV — the Eltrona TV+ app can be installed on all home devices, allowing each family member to watch their favourite programmes on their own screen simultaneously.
Existing Eltrona internet customers
If you’re already an Eltrona internet customer, adding TV is the most economical option thanks to the permanent Combo discount (−€20/month). The combined package value is hard to beat.

10. Frequently asked questions about Eltrona TV
Does Eltrona TV work without an Eltrona internet subscription?
Yes. The Eltrona TV+ app works on any internet network in Luxembourg. Eltrona recommends combining Internet + TV for optimal HD streaming quality and the permanent monthly Combo discount (−€20/month).
How many TVs can be used simultaneously with Eltrona TV?
The Eltrona TV+ app can be installed on multiple devices at home. For TV on multiple physical televisions via an Eltrona box, you need one box per TV — maximum 4 boxes per contract. For SKY options, SKY Sport and SKY Fussball Bundesliga are also accessible via the app; SKY Entertainment and SKY Cinema are box only.
Can you watch Eltrona TV abroad?
The Eltrona TV+ app is designed for use in Luxembourg. Access from abroad may be limited or unavailable depending on channel broadcast rights. Some content is geo-blocked by rights holders. Full availability is not guaranteed outside Luxembourg territory.
Is there a commitment period for the Eltrona base TV subscription?
No. Eltrona’s TV App offer is 100% commitment-free — cancel at any time, at no cost, with no reason required. Only SKY packages are an exception: they require a 12-month contract, renewing monthly from the 13th month if not cancelled 30 days before expiry.
Does Eltrona TV offer 4K or Ultra HD channels?
Eltrona TV is described as an HD (high definition) service. At the date of this guide’s update, Eltrona does not promote Ultra HD / 4K channels in its standard offering, unlike Orange which positions Ultra HD as a marketing argument. For the latest developments, check eltrona.lu or our TV comparison tool.
How to subscribe to Eltrona TV?
Subscription is available online on the Eltrona website, by phone or in store. The digital process is fast: choose your offer, provide a European IBAN for the SEPA mandate, sign the contract online, and access TV via the app immediately. If you combine TV + Internet with technical installation, an appointment is scheduled within 7 days. Required documents: ID, proof of Luxembourg address and IBAN.
What is the difference between TV App and the Eltrona TV+ box?
The TV App is the 100% streaming solution: download the app on your smart TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, smartphone or computer, without any extra hardware. The Eltrona box is a physical decoder, required only for SKY Entertainment or SKY Cinema packages (not available on the app). The base channel catalogue is identical in both cases.
Can Eltrona prices increase during the subscription?
Eltrona states that its price is guaranteed and fixed for 24 months from contract activation. This pricing stability commitment is a concrete advantage in a market where some operators adjust prices after an initial promotional period. Beyond 24 months, pricing conditions may be revised.
Does Eltrona cover all Luxembourg municipalities?
Eltrona’s cable network covers approximately 85% of Luxembourg households. Around 15% of households — mainly in some rural areas — are not yet covered by Eltrona’s cable infrastructure. The TV App (streaming) works on any internet network. To check your address eligibility, an online test is available on the Eltrona website.
