Hubbl offers streaming, live sports and free-to-air TV on one platform

Foxtel Group has finally announced the list of streaming apps that will be joining the company’s new Hubbl product. With the biggest local and global streaming services in one place, searching between apps, managing subscriptions, and streaming itself becomes easier. 

Global streaming services Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Apple TV+ and video-sharing app YouTube, join local streamers BINGE, Kayo Sports, Kayo Freebies, Stan, Flash, Optus Sport, Foxtel’s new app, LifeStyle.

Australia’s free streaming apps, ABC iView and ABC Kids, SBS On Demand, 9Now, 7plus, and 10 Play are also part of Hubbl’s streaming line-up.

What does Hubbl offer?

Hubbl is Foxtel’s answer to streaming consumers feeling overwhelmed by the meteoric rise of on demand services and their respective content. With the streaming landscape showing no signs of slowing down, the pay TV company aims to offer a “converged streaming experience”. 

As different subscriptions answer to different streaming needs (e.g., Kayo for sports, BINGE for TV shows and movies), it’s not surprising that many Australians are choosing to have multiple subscriptions. And with so much content and services on offer, navigating between apps can take away the fun from streaming.

To simplify the experience, Foxtel’s new offering merges all the biggest streaming apps like BINGE and Netflix, and showcases them in one platform, reducing any fatigue and frustration associated with the ever-increasing number of choices.

What streaming apps will be available? 

The streaming apps that have been confirmed to join are as follows: 

Hubbl pricing

Finally revealed at its Sydney launch on 21 February, it was announced that Hubbl will be available to purchase in Harvey Norman and JB Hi Fi retail stores nationwide and on Hubbl’s own website. The Hubbl Glass, however, will only be available at Harvey Norman.

The Hubbl puck pricing is set at $99, while the 55-inches Hubbl Glass will cost $1,595. The 65-inches option is priced at $1,995. An on-sale date, however, has yet to be announced.

Hubbl vs Hubbl Glass

Foxtel’s new “transformative TV technology” can be experienced via two options: the Hubbl puck and Hubbl Glass, a 4K Smart TV with a built-in soundbar. 

The puck-like device can be plugged into any compatible TV and for those who are happy with their own smart TV, the streaming box seems to be the right choice. 

Hubbl Glass, on the other hand, is a much more expensive option; it’s a TV with Hubbl and a built-in soundbar that only needs an internet connection and a power cord, no other wires required. 

Plus, the Hubbl Glass is a sleek, shiny-looking device that’s offered in two sizes (55-inch and 65-inch) and five different colours (Anthracite Black, Ocean Blue, Racing Green, Dusky Pink, and Ceramic White). More than delivering content in 4K, the Glass comes with Dolby Vision and HDR 10 support, voice control, and six integrated speakers. 

What makes Hubbl unique? 

Bringing together multiple streaming apps on one single platform isn’t entirely new technology (Foxtel’s iQ5 already does the same thing). Hubbl, however, aims to stand out by offering live TV without the need for an aerial, all while allowing users to manage their subscriptions with more ease. 

With every major free to air and paid streaming available on the platform, your access to sports and entertainment has never been this seamless. 

Hubbl has recently added Kayo Freebies into its line-up of streaming apps as well. Even better, users won’t be required to register for an account when accessing Kayo Freebies on Hubbl. The only downside is that most of Kayo’s key features, like SplitView and Key Moments, aren’t available on Hubbl.

Another appealing feature comes from allowing customers to get up to five streaming apps and save up to $15 per month on their subscriptions. Eligible apps include Netflix, BINGE, Kayo Sports, Flash, and Lifestyle. Bundling all five will get you the maximum $15 discount.

You’ll need to get separate subscriptions  to access paid streaming apps on Hubbl. Here’s a list of streaming plans in Australia.
