Yes, you can. To do this, log in to the app using your account on the device where you'll continue viewing and tap "Send image to another screen."
Open the app, enter the channel name in the search bar, or select the desired category, such as "music." TV+ will find the channel, movie, or series you need.
To restore access to your TV+ account, enter your mobile phone number when logging into the app and enter the code received via SMS in the confirmation field.
The TV+ service supports multiple subscriber devices. To watch TV+ on another device as part of your subscription, log in to your account on the desired device using your mobile number and the code received via SMS.
Important: The number of devices you can watch simultaneously is limited and depends on your subscription type.
The TV+ app features a recommendation system that automatically sorts channels based on how often you watch them. Your favorite channels automatically appear at the top of the main channel list.
You can create your own watchlist by adding desired channels to the "Favorites" list. To do this, simply tap the "Settings" gear icon while watching a channel and then tap the "Favorites" icon in the menu that appears. Your favorite channels are always available in the "My" tab and on the app's main page, in the "Now Playing" section below the advertising banners.
We likely haven't yet acquired the rights to show the film or series due to various circumstances, or the rights have expired. For this reason, the film or series is unavailable for viewing. However, we are constantly updating our catalog and will do our best to have what you're looking for available soon. To ensure you don't miss a film or series on TV+, please enable notifications for the TV+ app in your mobile phone settings. We regularly notify our users about new releases available on TV+.
Unfortunately, this is not possible due to the copyright holder's broadcasting terms. However, we are not ruling out the possibility. We are constantly working to improve our service. Stay tuned, there's more to come.
An alternative is the convenient ability to view archived TV channel broadcasts in the program catalog (Catch Up) and rewind through currently viewed channels (Time Shift). The duration of viewing availability is determined by the copyright holder and is typically 7 days from the broadcast date.
Much depends on the TV manufacturer. Search results are based on the app name, and on both LG and Samsung, the name is used depending on the TV language.
There are three language versions:
- Kazakh (default): TV+ Kazakhtelecom
- Russian: TV+ Kazakhtelecom
- English: TV+ Kazakhtelecom
- If the user's TV language is Russian or Kazakh, the Latin-based "app store" name is not used.
On Samsung, search results by name depend on the TV language. It's necessary to check the Russian and English (Latin) versions. If the user's TV language is Russian or Kazakh, the Latin-based "app store" name is not used.
On Android TV/Yandex TV, you can install the app from a flash drive. You can download the app from https://telecom.kz/==atv/. To install the app, download the .apk file to a flash drive using the link, connect the flash drive to your TV, and run the downloaded file on the TV. Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
Important: The TV+ app is not available on LG and Samsung TVs manufactured before 2015.
Recommendation from mobile carriers:
This can occur on some phones, regardless of manufacturer or price range. If this occurs, we recommend:
- Restarting the phone to refresh the network signal;
- Clearing the phone's inbox to ensure it's not full (for older phones with limited SMS capacity);
- Checking whether there are any apps or phone settings that filter SMS, such as antivirus software, that automatically filters SMS messages to spam.
The user may have accidentally blacklisted the sender's number. In this case, the message from the TV+ platform should be looked for in the Spam folder on the phone itself.
There have been cases of TV+ SMS messages being automatically filtered to spam when using the Google Messages app. The app is used by default and receives SMS messages instead of the phone's built-in SMS messenger. Check the Spam folder.
Alternatively, you can transfer the SIM card to another phone to see if the issue is related to delivery to the phone. If the message still isn't delivered, the SIM card is most likely damaged.
If the above solutions don't resolve the issue, the subscriber should contact their mobile operator. This could be due to incorrect SMS server settings on the mobile device, temporary issues with the messaging service on the operator's end, or other issues.
The app is supported on most modern devices:
- Smartphones, tablets, and Smart TVs running Android 8.0+
- iPhones/iPads running iOS 12.0+
- Smart TVs running webOS 4.0+ (LG)
- Smart TVs running Tizen 4.0+ (Samsung)

A channel lock means that access to viewing this content is restricted. Check to see if you're experiencing one of the following situations:

2.The channel you're interested in isn't connected to a package, or the channel isn't included in the package you've connected and paid for, and the error "Subscribe to start watching" appears when you launch it.
If all channels are blocked, check the package's connection status and ensure the service isn't blocked due to financial indebtedness.
If some channels are unavailable, call 160 to find out the contents of your connected package. Please note:
- Some channels are only available with additional packages: the viju+ TV channel package (viju+ Premiere HD, viju+ Megahit HD, viju+ Comedy HD, viju+ Planet HD, viju+ Sport HD), news packages, regional channel packages, and 4K. Subscriptions for news/regional channel packages and 4K are 0 tenge. Simply click [Subscribe]; it's free.

Previously, the "Best on TV" catalog featured a large number of new films and cartoons from major studios, including Disney. At the studio's and copyright holder's request, we were forced to remove Disney films, as the channels broadcasting this content do not have the rights to save the content in the "Best on TV" catalog. However, you can watch these films directly on the channel itself, either during the broadcast or by using the rewind button and selecting a schedule from the previous week.
As for Channel 31, at the channel's request, we are forced to disable saving TV programs in the ""Best on TV"" catalog due to the lack of these rights.
Films in the "Best on TV" section are also constantly changing, as the storage period for films and programs from broadcast television is limited to seven days for most channels.
To change the bank card used to pay for TV+, you must unlink the old card and subscribe with the new card. You can find instructions on unlinking the card and subscribing in our frequently asked questions.
