Re: Do I have to get a TV licence from Billag?

Absolutely not! Bilag, is completely unrelated to you your provider ( except they are Swisscome owned ).
As long as you have ANY device in your posession that allows you to watch TV ( smartphone, tablet, PC etc inclduded ) you have to pay Bilag.
This is true. But if you check the definition of such a "multifunctional" device (given on http://www.billag.ch/web/de/fragen_u...eraet_mfg.html and already discussed in this thread) you will see that a condition is to be registered with a service provider that allows you to watch streaming television.

Cablecom used to provide streaming of some tv channels to subscribers, which is why they are relevant here.
