Foxtel has given details of its treatment of Sky Glass, which will be known in Australia as Hubbl.
The former Project Magneto will bring together free and paid streaming entertainment through the Entertainment OS developed by Comcast and Sky. A dedicated version has been produced for the Australian market.
Two versions will be available in Australia; Hubbl Glass – a world-class TV with Hubbl and a high-quality built-in sound bar that only requires an internet connection.
The puck-sized Hubbl, think Sky Stream, is a small device that plugs into any compatible TV.
“It has been built with Australian consumers in mind, effortlessly fusing free and paid entertainment and sport from apps, channels and the internet into one seamless user experience – delivered via Hubbl Hub or a world leading TV, Hubbl Glass. It will deliver a frictionless paid and free entertainment environment, and we believe will become the heart of the home for millions of Australians,” said Patrick Delany, CEO, Hubbl and Foxtel Group.
Hubbl will launch in Australia in the coming months with announcements on on app partners and product features expected shortly.
