When Vision TV was launched in 2012, it provided viewers in the UK with access to a package of foreign TV channels.

service, the network also allowed two-way interactivity to enable functionality such as voting, commerce and targeted advertising. The service initially broadcast French, Greek, Polish and Turkish channels. In August 2012, Muslim and Arabic-language channels were added. In March 2015, a Portuguese package called 'My Portuguese' was added, which included Benfica TV. In September 2015 the service became available on the web, as well as EETV set-top boxes. In November 2015, iOS and Android apps were launched. The UK pay-TV service closed down on 30 April 2019 and was no longer available on Roku or mobile devices, though a separate package of free channels continued to stream online and via Freeview.
