Our verdict on Molotov

Molotov brings French live television, replay, and on-demand programs to internet-connected devices, without a traditional TV box. It suits viewers who want to watch French channels across web, desktop, mobile, or supported smart TVs and connected TV devices, with replay and cloud recording available. Its free tier makes it possible to start without a subscription, while paid plans expand the channel lineup and live-TV controls.

The plan differences are clear. Free includes 45 channels, replay, recording, and access throughout the EU; TF1 and M6 are excluded, and France 2 and France 3 are in SD. Molotov Extra costs €6.99 per month and adds more than 100 channels, including TNT, four simultaneous Full HD screens, recording and replay, and live control. Molotov Extended costs €10.99 per month and raises the lineup to more than 150 channels while retaining those listed features. Choose Extra for the lower paid entry point, or Extended if the larger lineup matters more than the price difference.

Molotov’s practical appeal is the combination of live viewing with replay, cloud recording, and the ability to control or restart a live program from the beginning. The platform list spans web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, as well as supported smart TVs and connected TV devices. The free tier is a reasonable fit for viewers comfortable with its channel exclusions and SD broadcasts; viewers who specifically need TF1, M6, a broader selection, or four Full HD screens should consider a paid plan. Those seeking a service centered on sports rather than general television may want to compare alternatives.
