Nowadays, it is very easy to watch your favorite series and films thanks to the bouquets of your operators like Ocs but also thanks to the creation of the video on demand service or other sites such as Netflix.
The Bouquet OCS: 4 channels and an SVOD platform
The OCS bouquet channels
Ocs (or orange cinema series) is a bouquet of large television channels devoted only to films and series. Created in 2008, it was then offered by Orange TV by satellite and ADSL. Orange cinema series has officially become OCS to extend this offer to other bouquets than Orange TV.
The Bouquet OCS includes 4 large series and cinema channels: Ocs max, OCS City Generation HBO, OCS shock, Giant ocs, and the video on demand service OCS Go. All these channels offer a wide choice of series and great films in quality Hd and US+24 broadcast (the possibility of watching a 24-hour series after its broadcast in the United States). With OCS Go, the replay is available up to 30 days after the first broadcast and download movies and series directly on your box or computer.
How to receive ocs ?
It is possible to subscribe to OCS by going directly to the OCS site. Two rates are available on September 15, 2022:
- € 10.99/month (2 screens simultaneously)
- € 12.99/month (3 screens simultaneously)
You can also take out an OCS offer from an operator. For Orange Livebox subscribers, you must go to the Internet or call the 3099. You can also go to Canal 46 of your box. You must have an adsl or fiber box to be able to benefit from ocs.
Customer SFR, call him 1023, Go to Canal 35 or in the SFR menu of your SFR box. You can also subscribe the OCS bouquet on the Internet.
At the house of Free, There are two ways to subscribe OCS: by calling the 1044 or 3044 (for freebox subscribers) or by going to channel 51 of your box.
If you wish to subscribe to OCS by being a customer of the Bbox of Bouygues, You can go to the 145 channel of your box, or call it 3106. You can also go on the internet.
Depending on your operator, you will not pay the same price (price at September 15, 2022):
- At Orange: € 12.99/month
- At Bouygues: 12 €/month
- At Free: € 11.99/month
- At SFR: € 12.99/month
Thanks to an agreement with HBO, the Bouquet OCS consists particularly of American series which have just been broadcast. This is the argument for selling weight for all people fans of series who do not want to wait a year or two that a series is broadcast on a French channel. The films offered are sometimes a bit dated. The OCS catalog is neither very full nor very recent, especially for films. For series, we will especially remember the Diffusion of the HBO flagship series, Game Of Thrones.

The advantages of OCS: OCS Go
Nice little thing : it is possible to download the episode of the desired series to be able to access it offline later, on PC or tablet. OCS Go, The service that allows this feature, retains where you are viewing the program for the episodes you have downloaded.
The site OCS Go is also very readable, clear and easy to access. Navigation is pleasant and has no major difficulty. In short, it is not necessary to have major computer capacities to access it. When watching your video, you can change your tongue and go from VOST to VF for example. When you download your videos and start watching them, the next time, you’ll get back where you stopped.
A downside however : when you move the time cursor to a video, it moves but does not display the corresponding time. It is not very practical, especially if you do other things on your computer at the same time as you watch your videos.

What advantages with Netflix ?
Netflix has a fairly large catalog, although mainly composed of foreign series. On the other hand, the programs are quite diversified in terms of gender, with SF, thriller, etc. We can find some new series in France as Fargo For example. Netflix is not content to broadcast series. There are some Original Netflix Creations Like the event series Orange is the new black.
The website is simple, refined and efficient. You can personalize the search engine according to your expectations: by genre, by type of intrigue, by year, etc. L’Netflix application uses the same video player as the website. It is possible to change the language during viewing. Unlike OCS Go, when the cursor is moved, the timecode evolves in real time. It is even possible to display the list of episodes so as to change it quickly. If you leave a video in progress or suddenly, when you come back, Netflix has held the past time and place you right where you stopped.
Another advantage of Netflix is the possibility of Watch Netflix with others, Remote with Netflix Party.
Netflix’s little downside : the video launched appears directly in full screen, which is not necessarily very practical for the user.
