What digi cz s.r.o. does

Telly s.r.o. (legal entity digi cz s.r.o.) is a Czech residential television operator headquartered in Prague, founded in 2006 as DIGI TV and rebranded to Telly in 2020. Since 2015 it has operated as part of the LAMA Energy Group conglomerate. The company delivers television via two distribution modes — IPTV (Internet TV) and satellite — to Czech households, with service availability extending across the EU. Core technology is a multi-platform IPTV stack with native apps across Samsung, LG, VIDAA, Android TV/Google TV, Apple TV, Xbox, iOS, Android, and web browsers, plus dedicated Arris set-top boxes. Features include 7-day catch-up archive, cloud DVR (up to 30 days), pause/rewind of live TV, and simultaneous streaming on up to 6 devices. The content offering spans four tiered subscription packages (Malý 71 channels, Střední 109, Velký 120, MAXI 138) priced 270-990 Kč/month, plus a Sport add-on (20 channels, 35 sports competitions) at 390 Kč/month, and multi-device add-ons at 75-225 Kč.

The business model is a recurring subscription DTC model with 7-day free trial conversion, aggressive promotional pricing (42-61% first-period discounts), and content-led acquisition anchored in premium sports rights (UEFA Champions League/Europa/Conference League, Bundesliga, La Liga, ATP, F1, UFC, OKTAGON MMA). Distribution is entirely digital self-serve via web, mobile, and smart-TV apps. In 2023 the company divested its internet services to Nordic Telecom to refocus on television, and in 2025 extended into adjacent household services via Fonergy (energy supply) under the LAMA Energy Group. The company claims to be the most-recommended TV in the Czech Republic, has won independent 'Best Internet TV' comparison tests in 2020, 2021, and 2022, and became the first Czech TV operator to receive the CZECH MADE quality certification in 2026. Telly has 101-250 employees and its leadership consists of Vladimír Rusnák (CEO/head of Telly) and Jan Schöppel (Marketing Director).

Direct peers

• Skylink: Czech Republic's leading satellite TV operator and Telly's most direct competitor in the Czech pay-TV market, offering tiered channel packages distributed via satellite with overlapping sports rights and similar customer demographics.
• O2 TV (O2 Czech Republic): O2 Czech Republic's IPTV/television service competing head-to-head with Telly in the Czech residential market, with the additional structural advantage of fixed-line/broadband bundling that Telly lost when internet services moved to Nordic Telecom.
• T-Mobile TV (T-Mobile Czech Republic): T-Mobile Czech Republic's television offering, directly comparable to Telly as a Czech IPTV/streaming service with quad-play bundling through T-Mobile's mobile and fixed networks.
• Vodafone TV (Vodafone Czech Republic): Vodafone Czech Republic's IPTV service, a direct competitor to Telly in Czech residential television with comparable channel packages, sports content, and bundling into Vodafone mobile/broadband services.
• Lepší.TV: Czech internet/IPTV provider offering tiered channel packages and sports content similar to Telly, targeting the same Czech residential customer base with comparable pricing and features.
• SledovaniTV.cz: Czech online television streaming service providing live TV, archive, and recording features — closely comparable to Telly's DIGI2GO internet TV offering and serving the same Czech household market.

Regional players

• Magio TV (Slovak Telekom): Slovak Telekom's IPTV service in Slovakia, structurally and technologically similar to Telly's IPTV offering with comparable tiered packages and sports content — relevant as a regional reference point for Central European pay-TV operating models.
• Antik TV (ANTIK Telecom): Slovak IPTV/satellite TV operator offering channel packages with sports and entertainment content, comparable in product mix and target use cases to Telly but primarily serving Slovakia rather than the Czech market.

Broad incumbents

• Netflix: Global SVOD incumbent operating widely in the Czech market; competes with Telly for household entertainment spend and viewing time, particularly relevant given Telly bundles HBO Max and competes for premium content dollars.
• HBO Max (Warner Bros. Discovery): Global streaming service that Telly bundles into its MAXI package; competes as a standalone SVOD alternative in the Czech market and represents both a partner and competitive threat to Telly's premium content positioning.
