netgem.tv is now available in Ireland, bringing live saorview channels and on-demand content together on a single box.
On demand apps available from launch include Hayu, Mubi and Hopster, with more content partners to be named soon.
Launched last year in the UK, netgem.tv works with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant and lets viewers pause live TV for up to 2 hours as well as record shows onto a compatible USB stick or drive.
Viewers can also control the box and access content through a smartphone app.
netgem.tv’s range of smart-home devices have received several awards and accolades, including the Most Innovative in-home device prize at the TV Connect Awards 2018 for the Soundbox HD, an all-in-one Freeview Play soundbar & TV streamer, while the NetBox HD was named Best Freeview Play set-top-box of 2019 by Expert Reviews.
The netgem.tv service has also been shortlisted in the 2019 UK National Technology Awards in the Consumer Product of the Year and Smart Home Solution of the Year categories.
Boxes can be bought via Amazon and from Netgem’s Ebay channel and will soon be offered by Irish broadband suppliers.
Sylvain Thevenot, Managing Director of netgem.tv said: “We are excited about this expansion of our next generation TV service and look forward to bringing the best of free and paid-for content to the Irish market.
“Personalised, on-demand TV is the future of home viewing and we are proud to be at the vanguard of the streaming revolution.
“We’re confident that our combination of great content in a smart and reliable service will be a big hit with TV lovers in Ireland and look forward to growing our proposition here with more distribution partners and more brilliant Video services.”
