6 ways Hubbl can instantly upgrade your TV and streaming
We all like to unwind with a bit of telly at the end of a long day, but the act of finding something good to watch across numerous streaming services can make the whole experience a bit overwhelming.
Enter Hubbl, the small streaming puck that’s changing the way Aussies watch television. Brought to you by the company behind Binge and Kayo Sports, Hubbl is an exceptionally affordable way to give your television a massive interface upgrade.
Acting as a gateway to Australia’s best streaming content, Hubbl makes the viewing experience as seamless as possible by allowing you to browse and watch movies and TV shows from multiple streaming services on a world-class user interface.
Not only that, but Hubbl also makes it easy to manage, pay-for and even pause your subscriptions like Netflix, Binge and Stan from a single account, rather than having to deal with several logins across numerous apps and websites.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg — here are the top 6 reasons why Hubbl deserves to take centre stage in your lounge room.
Hubbl’s unique interface makes discovering great new shows and movies easy
Sick of searching endlessly through multiple streaming apps for something to watch? Hubbl makes discovery easy, with the top trending shows, movies and sporting events easily accessible from Hubbl’s approachable user interface.
In other words, you no longer have to jump in and out of numerous apps to discover fantastic content. With Hubbl’s combined interface, you get a fusion of the best content from multiple services in one place.
Universal search is a big timesaver
One of the more annoying aspects of watching TV in the streaming era is trying to figure out which service your favourite show or movie is available on. More often than not, looking online leads to outdated information, and you end up having to search each individual service anyway. With Hubbl, you can upgrade from searching separate streaming apps to searching them in one go.
Hubbl’s universal search feature does away with this frustration with its universal search feature. Simply press the microphone button on your Hubbl remote and say the name of your desired film or series, and Hubbl will find it for you almost instantly. And, if the show or movie is on a service you aren’t subscribed to, Hubbl makes it quick and easy for you to sign-up in a matter of moments.
Pick up where you left off with ease
There’s no denying that we’re currently in a new Golden Age of television, which means there’s more great series to watch than ever before. However, following several shows across multiple apps can feel like a full-time job these days.
Thankfully, Hubbl’s Continue Watching feature provides an easy way to instantly upgrade the way you keep track of your shows across services, allowing you to scroll through a single list that remembers what you’ve been viewing across different streaming apps and free-to-air TV.
Additionally, Hubbl also lets you create personalised watchlists with content pulled from multiple platforms — including free-to-air TV. With a single combined watchlist, you no longer have to jump around between apps to keep up with your favourite shows.
Stack & Save to get streaming subscriptions for less
We can all agree that streaming has made the TV watching experience more convenient than ever. However, it can be costly to have multiple subscriptions going at once. Hubbl understands this, which is why it’s devised a helpful Stack & Save program that will help you save money on your monthly entertainment bill.
Remember when we said that Hubbl optionally lets you manage and pay for multiple services from a single account? There’s an added benefit to doing this which goes beyond mere convenience — simply sign up to three or more eligible subscriptions via Hubbl to get credit towards your monthly streaming spend. ‘Stacking’ three subscriptions gets you AU$5 savings, stacking four gets you AU$10 savings, and stacking five or above gets you AU$15 savings.
And there’s no monthly device fee for Hubbl itself — you only need to pay for the different streaming services you use. With Hubbl, you can upgrade from paying full price on your subscriptions with discounts on eligible apps.
Watch live TV without an antenna
One of the best aspects of Hubbl is that it not only gives viewers access to Australia’s top on-demand services, it also seamlessly merges live TV into its interface to give Aussies the best of both worlds.
Those who still have a terrestrial antenna will be pleased to know that Hubbl has an RF coaxial input built right into it, but what about those of us who don’t have access to an aerial? Well, it turns out you don’t even need one anymore — Hubbl can pull live broadcast streams directly from local catch-up apps, which means you can seamlessly watch 7Plus, 9Now, Tenplay, ABC iview and SBS On Demand channels as they air. Not only that, you can also browse what’s on at any given time thanks to Hubbl’s built-in electronic program guide.
It's an affordable way to instantly upgrade your current TV — and $20 off for a limited time!
If you still have a ‘dumb’ TV, or your smart TV is getting a little long in the tooth, Hubbl is an easy way to give it an instant upgrade. Thanks to its snappy quad-core processor, navigating Hubbl is an absolute breeze, meaning you can bypass an older TV’s sluggish interface entirely.
On top of this, Hubbl also supports HDMI-CEC, which means you can switch on your TV and control its volume directly from Hubbl’s excellent remote. And at only AU$79.20 for a limited time (a saving of 20% on the RRP), the Hubbl streaming puck is far far cheaper than buying a new TV.
