What it does
Tënk offers documentary films selected by programmers, with a subscription programme and a separate rental catalogue.
Tënk's programme is built film by film, spanning short and feature-length documentaries about politics, society, history, art and science. Listings show the time remaining in the subscription selection, which helps decide what to watch before it leaves. The separate rental catalogue can provide another route to earlier selections.
The French-language European service covers France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Subscriptions are individual and simultaneous viewing is restricted; its terms also limit viewing to authorised territories. This is a focused documentary programme to follow regularly rather than an all-purpose household television package.
Strengths
- Programmer selection and availability countdowns support deliberate documentary viewing.
Watch out for
- Individual subscriptions restrict simultaneous viewing.
- The reviewed service is limited to its authorised French-language European territories.
