Hubbl was first unveiled at Foxtel’s Upfronts event in Sydney last October. Designed to fuse the best local and global content, the small device plugs into any compatible TV and allows consumers to access one user interface, preventing them from having to jump in and out of apps to hunt for new content.

The technology merges premium entertainment and sports, video on demand and live channels into a single experience. To enhance the Hubbl experience, users can also purchase Hubbl Glass, a TV with Hubbl and a high-quality, built-in sound bar that only requires an internet connection and a power cord – no other wires needed.

The device and Hubbl Glass TV will be launched in Australia in the coming months.

It’s a huge testament to the transformative Hubbl technology that these world-class and much loved local partners have chosen to reshape the streaming experience with us. The future of TV and streaming is here.”
