NEW: EE TV set-top boxes with Amazon Alexa voice commands (what Sky Soundbox doesn't do)

"You can now (17 AUGUST 2017), control EE TV set-top boxes with Amazon Alexa voice commands !!!"






(Netgem & EE TV continuous in a solid partnership!)

"Whether it's for phones or Bluetooth speakers, Amazon's march towards squeezing its Alexa voice assistant into every conceivable connected gadget continues apace. The latest device to join its ranks is EE TV, the set-top box from the mobile network giant.
From today, owners of both the EE TV box and a compatible Alexa device, such as the Echo or Echo Dot, will be able to use voice commands sent from the connected speakers to control certain aspects of the TV interface...."

"The move makes the BT-owned outfit the first UK service provider to provide an Amazon Alexa skillset on its set-top boxes."

    Amazon Prime Video arrive sur la plate-forme virtuelle STB de Netgem !!!



    "Les solutions de set-top-box et de soundbox basées sur le logiciel Netgem proposeront toute la gamme des services Amazon Prime Video, a annoncé récemment la société.

    Le partenariat avec Amazon Prime Video constitue une amélioration majeure d'une série de partenariats internationaux OTT et contenu linéaire que Netgem a obtenus pour son STB virtuel.

    Sylvain Thevenot, Directeur Général Solutions Opérateurs pour Netgem, déclare: «Les clients d'Amazon Prime pourront accéder à la bibliothèque de films et d'émissions télévisées haut de gamme d'Amazon Prime Video directement sur leur interface TV sans équipement supplémentaire ni abonnement supplémentaire.

    Cela ouvrira une nouvelle opportunité significative de croissance du marché pour nos partenaires opérateurs, en adoptant la dernière plate-forme logicielle Netgem Diamond. "
