Foxtel launches revolutionary platform 'Hubbl' for TV and streaming

Foxtel has launched a revolutionary new platform which will help Australians solve the problem of not being able to decide what to watch on TV.

Launched at a star-studded event in Sydney on Wednesday night, Hubbl is a game-changing technology promising TV and streaming made easy.

Hubbl is a one-stop shop for Australians' free and paid live TV and streaming needs.

It's a shame seeing Sky News Au, the tech guy and Hamish and Andy hype this thing up. Unfortunately people don't do research and see that there are superior devices that do a 10x better job. Perhaps the big G device which does what this does and much much more.

The subscription stacking and saving is just marketing mumbo-jumbo to get users sucked in. Nothing needed to be reimagined, there was never a problem.

This hardware is not new, it's old hardware from the UK market, Foxtel just slapped a name on it, said it's Australian made and started the scam campaign.

It's almost like Hamish and Andy were being held at gunpoint.

Any new platform that requires a subscription payment is instantly rejected.

this is foxtels 50th new streaming service

[andrewvaughan]

Thought it would be something like pay one fee to use every streaming app

What a load of shit

[scottevans]

I’m sorry anything to do with foxtel I’m not interested in

[AWittySenpai]

An nvida shield or a chormecast will get ya better results

[trevormaurer]

Of course Foxtel will embrace any streaming enhancement to bolster their dying subscription model

[marlons]

Wow that was exaggeration and over-hyping on another level

[mk]

Oh yeah given more opportunity to watch ads that is, and paying for that too... Ridiculous.

[MeredithBell-vf]

No thanks I won't touch anything Murdoch

pretty sure my smart tv does this? 1 remove better then 2!

Basically a streaming box lime a fire stick

Dead on arrival. It won’t last the year

I can't see this being a success as soon as the AFL season ends in 2024. I am cancelling Kayo. I already cancelled Foxtel they are so ovepriced & out of touch. the cost of living is crazy.

How's the irony...Foxtel launches Hubbl, so you can APPARENTLY bundle and save your streaming services...how about just making Foxtel cheaper, so more people will sign up?? After all, you're making twice the money with all of the damn ads you put on now!

What next? A google device thst akso combines all apps and includes an interface that integrates them all? Sheesh, msybe one day we will even sed Amazon get in on it!

The problem is requiring *any remote* control device period. The Apple Vision Pro and the Google Android copycat devices expected soon will replace all of this, as even grandmas using the AVP have shown they can very easily bring up 5 virtual displays and watch YouTube/Facebook/google up weather/etc at the same time with nothing but just moving their hands around. Traditional TV where you need a clumsy TV remote control is finished for anyone who isn't a fossil using a keypad phone, no matter what they claim about Hubbl. This is basically an IQ test and nearly exact repeat of the touch-screen only based iPhone launch in 2007 and seeing people so poor in judgment they claimed it would never be popular.

Just another way to drive traffic to many different streaming services. I pay too much the way it is.

Shame there's nothing worth watching any more though
