Less searching, more watching.
Watching TV in 2024 isn’t as simple as it once was. While the streaming revolution has delivered us a golden age of entertainment and unshackled us from the tyranny of strictly scheduled broadcast TV, today’s overwhelming variety of shows and movies – not to mention all the different platforms they live on – has made the act of just sitting down to watch something far harder than it really should be.
With countless ‘must-see’ shows and films across a huge range of services, just figuring out what to watch (or even what you’re already watching!) can be a baffling chore. If you’d rather not have to create and maintain a spreadsheet just to track it all, there is an alternative – one that has some new and unique ideas for addressing the mess that is streaming in 2024. It’s called Hubbl and its aim is nothing less than to make watching TV easy again.Hubbl is the new star of your lounge room
Hubbl is a streaming platform that revolutionises TV by giving you one central hub (pun intended!) that’s specifically designed to cut down the time you spend searching, so you spend more time watching.
Hubbl devices come in two flavours: you’ve got a choice between the Hubbl (AU$99) – a small puck that plugs into your current TV via an HDMI cable; or Hubbl Glass (from AU$1,595) – a 4K TV with Dolby Vision that’s available in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes and runs the Hubbl operating system. Hubbl Glass TVs only need power and an internet connection to function, are available in a range of five colours and have built-in Dolby Atmos sound systems, making them the very epitome of plug-and-play.A fix for the streaming mess
It’s no secret that Australians have an huge range of streaming services to choose from – around 90% of Aussie households subscribe to at least one streamer*, with a healthy percentage going further and subscribing to multiple services. More subscriptions means more content but, conversely, it also means finding something to watch (or remembering which service has what show or movie) is way more difficult than it should be.
Today’s unwieldy, app-oriented streaming landscape is almost certainly a large contributor to that. When searching for something to watch on most TVs or dedicated streaming devices, you’re forced to go in and out of each app individually, wait for them to load and then search for what you want – so a lot of your precious watching time ends up being spent hunting. In fact, in a recent survey conducted by Pureprofile^, it was found that when Aussies sit down in front of the TV, we’re now spending up to a third of our time just searching for something to watch.
Hubbl tackles this by rethinking the navigation and discovery processes entirely.
