Here’s Everything You Need to Know about the New Streaming Device Hubbl

Hubbl is the latest streaming device to hit the market, and If you’re someone with a lot of streaming service subscriptions, it could also be a solution to those rising costs. The newly launched device includes support for a wide range of streaming services, including popular platforms along with free-to-air VOD ones. Depending on which services you’re subscribed to, you can score up to $15 off per month when you bill eligible subscriptions through Hubbl.

Here’s everything you need to know about the launch of Hubbl and Hubbl Glass.

What is Hubbl?

So what can you stream on Hubbl? Apart from Binge, Kayo and Netflix – which all get prime position on the remote – the device comes with most major streaming services preinstalled, such as Apple TV+, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video. Paramount+ and Stan aren’t currently available, but according to the Hubbl website, these services are “coming soon”. The device also supports free-to-air VOD platforms, like ABC iVew, SBS OnDemand and 9Now, and will even let you plug your aerial directly into the device.

As far as the user interface goes, the device was designed with streamlining your streaming in mind. Its search feature works across streaming apps, so the results page will show everywhere you can view certain movies, or the works of specific actors or directors, instead of having to individually search each service. The device also allows you to create unique, personalised watchlists, which is great news if you live in a multi-person household.

The device is running on the Entertainment OS, which was developed by Comcast USA and Sky UK, and can support streaming resolutions up to 4K, with Dolby Vision, HDR 10 and HLG. It comes bundled with a remote that includes a voice command feature as well.

Hubbl is on sale now, priced at $99. You can read more about Hubbl here.

What is Hubbl Glass?

Alongside the standalone device, the Glass is a smart TV running on Hubbl’s OS. In short, you get a TV with a streaming device built-in.

In terms of specs, this smart TV uses a 4K UHD Quantum Dot display, which supports HDR 10, Dolby Vision and HLG. The Glass also comes with a built-in six-speaker soundbar, which supports Dolby Atmos (MS12 AC4) and Dolby Digital.

Hubbl Glass is on sale now, as a 55-inch display ($1,595) or 65-inch display ($1,995). You can read more about Hubbl Glass here.
