* TV over IP is available in real-time to any computer on the local network, if the bandwidth is large enough. However, some channels are not available (the same that cannot be recorded on an external hard-drive).
* The DSL modem router can be configured either as an Ethernet router or a simple DSL modem (bridge-mode).
* The server handles 2 [[Wi-Fi]] networks: a private Wi-Fi network (possibly hidden) and a so-called "FreeWifi" network which creates a [[Hot
_Sspot_  (WLANi-Fi)|Hotspot]] and allows any other Freebox customer in proximity to connect to the Internet using a notebook, smartphone or similar.
* The server can be managed through its built-in web server. Also, TV recordings can be managed from the outside.
* Because of the changes in the hardware and capabilities, the monthly fee (initially 29.99€) increased by 6€. It now includes:
** Free calls to any mobile phone in France.
** Calls to landline phones in France and 104 countries, as it was already included before.
