The partnership with Amazon Prime Video is a major enhancement in a series of international OTT and linear content partnerships that Netgem has secured for its virtual STB. 

Amazon Prime enjoys around 65 million subscribers/members. The ‘members’ moniker is important because Amazon Prime also means that users get access to Amazon Prime Video service as well as discounts and speedy delivery of items bought via Amazon.... (February 16, 2017)

Credits for Netgem, on EE TV Amazon Alexa voice control ! (vs Sky Q)

August 17, 2017

“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.”

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

YouView, the broadcaster-supported platform that is used by BT and TalkTalk for their TV services, also announced in June that it was piloting Alexa voice control for its connected set-top boxes.

“EE continues to push the boundaries with its TV service. Given the fragmented nature of TV services today, we believe that voice will play a pivotal role in finding the programmes consumers want to watch. More importantly the support for Amazon Alexa goes one step further than Sky Q in supporting additional voice features,” said Paolo Pescatore, vice-president, multiplay and media, CCS Insight, commenting on the launch.

But SKY TV has also rolled-out an update to Sky Q customers that finally enables its long-awaited voice search feature, which promises to make it easier to find and watch movies, shows and sports.
