Telecommunications giant VodafoneThree has announced Vodafone TV, a set-top streaming box designed to bring streaming, live TV and gaming together on a single device.
The "small but powerful plug-in hub" gives you access to live TV channels via Freely and includes Netflix and HBO Max.
Catch-up apps such as BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and Channel 4 are also available, and customers can add subscriptions to Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, and more on a 30-day rolling basis.
Vodafone TV comes with support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, as well as 4K picture resolution. The device runs on Android TV, powered by 3GB of RAM with 32GB of storage available.
In addition, 302 cloud games are available to stream for no extra cost, and further apps can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
The interface includes AI smart search, Google Assistant and personalised recommendations, while a companion smartphone app also lets users continue watching on the go.
Consumer Director at VodafoneThree, Rob Winterschladen, said: “Vodafone TV is so much more than TV, it’s a family entertainment platform that brings together live TV, On Demand, streaming, gaming, music and all the apps on the Google Play Store."
The Vodafone TV will face stiff competition from our current video streamer Product of the Year, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Generation), as well as fellow TV subscription Sky Stream.
Pricing is yet to be announced, but Vodafone TV will be available from October to new and existing customers with a home broadband, 5G Broadband or mobile plan.
