Internet television has meant that classic television operators have to put their batteries together and that their pay television services no longer require any terminal installation or decoder card. Now it is enough to simply accept the subscription and we will have access to numerous payment channels that take advantage of the enormous popularity of smarth TVs, and smart sticks such as Roku or Fire TV, or Chromecast. But... what does each of them offer us? We list the main pay television operators in Spain, their channel offer and their prices.
It should be said that although we are talking about pay channels, their subscriptions can also give access to movie catalogs, series episodes and past programs.

Some of these packages are included in their mobile rates of different sizes, so it is possible that you already have them contracted and you have not realized it. Vodafone operates by offering packages in different combinations, which average around 5 euros per month each, and They can be combined to have the selection you are looking for.
Movistar +
The operator Movistar+ includes the most extensive television packages, and almost all the channels go through their packages, and with unique content. In the case of Movistar Fusión, there are channels such as Movistar Series, Movistar Deportes, Estrenos, practically all LaLiga matches thanks to having included DAZN, Los Toros and Canal #0, the channel on which La Resistencia with Javier Broncano is broadcast.
Their prices have been a huge criticism, since the bulls are only in the most expensive packages. Then there is the issue of the league matches, which are also in one of the most expensive packages, and you have to alternate between DAZON and LaLiga, having to find out before each game that interests you, which channel is broadcasting it. In addition, the complete Movistar Fusión package is usually in packages that combine internet, telephone, mobile and television, in which the price is of more than 100 euros per month. It is true that it includes many services, but it would easily be one of the first to be cut when it comes to saving on bills.
Orange-TV
The Orange television package is characterized by being cheaper. But it allows you to see all the football, in a separate package. It has several of the series and movie channels offered by the operators, but in smaller quantity.
Netflix
If we count series services on demand, fully digital operators count. We know Netflix, it has prices from a plan with ads from 5,50 euros per month with part of the limited catalog, to more expensive plans with more simultaneous screens at better quality. It is where we can see The Witcher, La Casa de Papel and in the future, the live action of One Piece.
Amazon Prime Video
The operator where you can see all the seasons of The Boys, the superhero series that has surprised us at a time when Marvel and DC superhero movies are the highest grossing; The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and The Wheel of Time. It is available for €4,99/month.
Disney +
That's where all the Disney, Marvel and Star Wars series are seen, and where they end up putting the vast majority of Disney content. You can watch almost all the movies and series they have broadcast, with exceptions for reasons of cultural sensitivity or licensing.
For a while he tried the model of direct release on Disney+ of films with an additional price, but few people used it, and it was more of a way to make movies profitable during the pandemic before launching them in the basic plan of 8,99 euros per month.
DAZN
We ended with the sports subscription service for €12,99/month. It offers a large number of sporting events, with F1, MotoGP and some matches in the Spanish BBVA football League being the ones that may have the most interest among Spaniards. The latter has a caveat, and that is that it has to split the rights to broadcast LaLiga matches with Movistar, which counterattacked by including access to DAZN in its sports package, and therefore you can technically watch all LaLiga matches on Movistar, but at the cost of having to know in advance which channel it is broadcast on.
