"Netgem has launched its Netgem TV offering in the UK, featuring content from partners including Freeview Play and Amazon Prime Video."

"In the second half of this year (2018), 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."

    « Plus que jamais, nous devons définir clairement le rôle de Freeview dans l’avenir de la télévision au Royaume-Uni. Nous pourrons ainsi atteindre notre objectif de fournir le meilleur service de télévision gratuit au monde, facilement accessible et accessible à tous. avec la programmation britannique de haute qualité avant et au centre.»
