Hubbl is a world-leading entertainment operating system that fuses the best local and global entertainment apps, sports, video on demand (VOD), live channels and internet into one user interface.

The device, which plugs into any compatible TV, was official launched by the Foxtel Group* this evening at an exclusive party on the Fleet Steps on Mrs Macquaries Point in the Botanic Gardens of Sydney.

It was revealed Hubbl will be available in Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi retail stores nationally and via its own digital shopfront Hubbl.com.au. The on-sale date for Hubbl will be announced soon.

The best bit? You only require an internet connection and a power cord – no other wires and no aerial required. Hubbl Glass will be available exclusively at Harvey Norman.
