Telstra Tbox: netgem upgrade needed !!! (Youtube became incompatible)

TBox needs NETGEM upgrade !! (YouTube became incompatible !)



"YouTube: Watch YouTube videos on the biggest screen in your house. With the YouTube app on EE TV Box, you can sit back and watch your favourite videos and channels from your couch."
 What apps are available on EE TV? (...., YouTube,...)


--- --- --- ---
(Mars 2015)
"Youtube has gone from Tbox?"

"Yes, it is gone.

YouTube changed up their system for all their videos which made it incompatible with older device so for that reason it was no longer able to be used on the T-Box as it couldn't run the updated version.

It also happened with a lot of older STB, Early connected TVs and other connected devices such as DVD or Blu-Ray players...

I believe it was first announced a few months back but I am not sure if it was just posted online (Telstra Exchange and here on CrowdSupport) or if it was (at least meant) to be communicated T-Box users in other ways.

"From 20 April 2015 the YouTube application on T-Box will no longer be available due to an upcoming Application Program Interface (API) change by Google. Regrettably this means you will no longer be able to access YouTube videos on T-Box.

When you try to play a video on the T-Box YouTube app from 20 April you'll see a video which will feature this text ‘YouTube is upgrading to a newer version of YouTube which is not currently supported by this device. To learn more, and see where to go to watch YouTube, visit youtube.com/devicesupport'

Due to technical limitations with the T-Box the new version of YouTube app will not be made available. "

#TelcoTV - a superior TV service, 2016 Whitepaper from Netgem ! (“Millennial TV”, challenges and opportunities)

(15 mars 2016)
#TelcoTV- a superior TV service!

"Millennial TV!

TV, the Millennial way!


Millennials have arrived. 

They are the largest generation in history, amplifying their own views using technology. 

Other groups follow and will increasingly follow their lead. These Millennials are tech savvy and are seen as the first generation of “digital natives”. They are hard to target, hard to reach and hard to engage. They consume and use TV and Video in non-traditional ways. 

Millennials are already acting as force for change and unusually, they may actually keep changing even as they grow older and wealthier, further amplifying their impact on TV and content based industries. 

 Traditional TV won’t go away anytime soon. However, it too is changing. There are a range of experiences that Millennials expect or would suit them. We outline some of them here from multiscreen to mobile to social. 

In this document we explore some of the challenges and opportunities that this presents for telcos and mobile operators in particular. “Millennial TV” needs to be part of the wider TV model now and going forward."

"attractive discounts at EE make it great value for its mobile customers" (BT, EE broadband, EE TV)

MARCH 10TH 2016

"BT broadband vs EE broadband

(...)


Conclusion
It’s certainly a tough decision between BT and EE as they offer comparable services and a nice range of extras. BT may win you over if you’re a sports fan and regard public wi-fi as an important extra, but the attractive discounts at EE make it great value for its mobile customers.
And don’t forget, Cable.co.uk now produces in-depth broadband reviews of every major UK broadband package, so check them out if you need more information. (...)"

LATAM: Netgem studies integration telecom services into a single platform (IPTV, OTT, Broadband, telcos 2016)

"It is also developing new business areas via its operation with Grupo Salinas's fibre-based platform. These include platform monitoring, network mapping and cost reduction.

“For Netgem, difficult markets are usually good. If a company is always growing, it doesn't want to change anything. But in unstable markets, companies look for differentiating offers and cost savings solutions,” pointed out Alain Motard, sales director for Latin America at Netgem, speaking to Television Hispana. “It's true Latin America's market is difficult right now, but this means opportunities for an experienced company like us.”

However, it doesn't look like a new operation will be launched during 2016. While catering for the growing demand of Totalplay, Grupos Salinas's telecom division Azteca has built a huge fibre network across Colombia, on which it intended, initially, to launch an IPTV service of which Netgem would be a partner. But the project has been beset with delays due to, among other things, the operation's low average revenue per users (ARPU) and the lack of real demand.

Netgem is considering operations in other Latin American markets, such as Brazil, but no concrete agreements have been signed yet. 

For the moment, it will keep working on Totalplay, which is acting like a lab for integrating telecom services into a single platform.

 In addition to using STB to have efficient control over the IP network, the platform integrates broadcast TV with IPTV and HTML5 over-the-top (OTT) content – it added Netflix last summer – delivering multi-screen, TV on-the-go and advanced capabilities such as network PVR, time-shift and catch-up. "
