Press reports say Orange plans to launch an HDMI dongle in France, following trials in the Romanian market.

According to Les Echos, Orange will use the device to push its TV content to subscribers of its Sosh low-cost mobile and Open quad-play offerings.

The dongle will primarily function as a mini set-top box, enabling users to receive the OCS suite of channels and Orange’s video-on-demand offering, as well as about 50 free-to-air channels and Dailymotion.

Orange is likely to include pay-TV services from Canal+ and BeIN Sports on the device in the medium term.
