"In the second half of this year, Netgem will release NetBox 4K and AirPlay and Dolby Digital support, and will launch the SoundBox 4K with additional microphones to enable voice control without the need for a separate Alexa device.
Later this year, Netgem plans to make its TV service available on manufacturer partner devices other than its own."
"Freeview is the only major UK broadcast platform that is growing its user base, according to digital-terrestrial TV strategy and development organisation Digital UK."
According to Digital UK’s annual report, the number of homes watching a Freeview-based service – including Freeview Play and YouView – on their main set had grown by over 7% since 2016 from 10.7 to 11.5 million homes.
"Speaking at an event in London yesterday evening organised by device manufacturer and software specialist Netgem, Thompson said that Freeview was keen to encourage innovation from partners as well as developing new features for Freeview Play itself."

"...EE TV offers Amazon Alexa hands-free...?!...
“We’re continually looking for ways to further enhance the accessibility and usability of EE TV – so we’re pleased to work with Amazon to launch the first Alexa skill on a set-top box in the UK,” commented Max Taylor, Managing Director of Marketing. “The new skill will allow users to discover new content and help to enrich their TV experience, so they can make the most out of it.”
(...)
===> “Credit should go to its partner Netgem for further differentiating EE TV over rivals. This latest move clearly underlines the importance of software in enhancing a TV service.”
“Undoubtedly EE TV is a great option for consumers who are looking for a good set-top box with access to a wide range of programming including free-to-air, on demand and a la carte purchases to premium content.”"
