Ooredoo Oman launches TV services with Netgem (4k TV)

Netgem, the entertainment solution provider for telecom operators, has been selected by international telecoms operator Ooredoo to deploy its multi-screen TV-as-a-service solution in Oman. This agreement is the first deployment of Netgem in the Middle East, and positions the company as vendor of choice in the region, with its solution now available in Arabic and supported by local content providers and deployment partners.

The Netgem-powered multiscreen TV-as-a-service will enable Ooredoo Oman to offer its customers a range of programming, including English and Arabic channels, and VoD services. An enhanced connected user interface will give Ooredoo’s customers the ability to enjoy a seamless experience across their devices.

Sylvain Thevenot, Managing Director Netgem #TelcoTV Services, “ We are very proud to support the launch of Ooredoo Oman TV with our feature-rich TV product offering a great range of international and local content.

Amazon's NetBox HD and SoundBox HD Freeview Play set top boxes (UK)

(SEPTEMBER 24, 2018)

Conclusion

Both boxes provide a simple to use, easy to set-up way of watching catch-up and on-demand content on your big screen TV, with the SoundBox HD also offering a signifiant upgrade to any TV’s in-built speakers.

At £129.00 for the Netbox HD and £249.00 for the SoundBox HD, both also offer great value for money when you factor in that this includes a whole year of Amazon Prime, and that the SoundBox HD also negates the need to buy a separate soundbar.

If you’re in the market for a new Freeview set top box or are looking to upgrade your TV listening experience without filling your room with a full surround sound system, we think both of these devices should be at the top of your options list.

UK: NETGEM AU-DELÀ EE TV !!! => THREE.co.uk

WUNTU: "A genious SMART TV Deal"

"Netgem a déclaré que le partenariat avec Three a marqué son expansion sur le marché britannique au-delà de son déploiement avec EE TV. 

=> La société affirme avoir également conclu des accords avec un certain nombre d'opérateurs de lignes fixes, principalement dans le domaine de la fibre optique jusqu'au domicile.

Three clients peuvent obtenir NetBox HD pour seulement 19 £ d'avance et 5 £ par mois pendant 6 mois après.



Three compte désormais 10,1 millions de clients à travers le Royaume-Uni et gagne du terrain sur Vodafone, O2 et EE  (au août 2018).

Le quatrième opérateur de réseau mobile du Royaume-Uni, Three, a publié un ensemble de données financières solides pour le premier semestre 2018, l'accent mis par la société sur les services de données continuant à porter ses fruits.

...add EE TV just for an additional £8 a month...

(september 2018)

Add TV for an extra £8 a month

If you're signing up to any of EE's broadband deals, 

you can add EE TV for an additional £8 a month.

With EE TV you get a set top box with access to more than 70 Freeview channels, including 11 in HD. You can pause and rewind live TV and record up to 600 hours of standard TV or 300 hours of HD, as well as being able to access on demand and catch-up services including NOW TV and BBC iPlayer.

As you can watch EE TV through your phone or tablet as well as on your actual television, your family will be able to watch four different programmes around the home at the same time – that should put an end to those arguments over the remote control.

EE TV's interactive guide will show you when a programme is trending on Twitter and you can even personalise the guide to suit your own TV tastes. The 'Flick and Fetch' feature also lets you move whatever you're watching from your phone to your TV, or vice versa, with a flick of your finger.
