Hubbl

[Jimmy_041]

Anyone else bought Hubbl?

I used to have Fetch but there were always tech problems and doesn't have Kayo or Binge

So far - so good

Currently use Apple TV & Foxtel IQ on the main TV, and TV apps (Foxtel, Netflix, Prime, etc) on the other TVs.

Still keep Foxtel IQ, even though its more expensive, as the picture quality and interface of Binge and Kayo are crap.

Was interested in Hubbl when it first came out, but lots of bad reviews turned me off.

Interested to know how you go longer term.

I read a few early reviews (including https://eftm.com/2024/03/hubbl-review-its-good-but-is-it-like-nothing-in-the-market-no-243319) including that they didn't have Stan & Amazon Prime / Paramount etc on it so I waited

Its much better than Fetch which:
1. The hand control is as bad as Foxtel used to be. I've found constantly hitting it on the coffee table improves its performance - same as Foxtel
2. Resets every time I try to change Apps

We used to have to hook up the puter or Mrs Jimmy's phone for Kayo which was a pain in the ass.
I only set it up on Friday night (which was very easy other than having to add logins) & it is working really well so far

There is no fast forward or rewind on the hand piece - only search
It works OK on Binge but is absolutely $hithouse for a 4 hour rugby replay on Stan

Hubbl’s dead baby, Hubbl’s dead.

DAZN, Foxtel’s new owner, is ditching Hubbl.

https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2025/09/ ... _sid=28668

Foxtel’s streaming aggregation device Hubbl is being wound down, just 18 months after its heavily promoted launch, as the company steps back from hardware development across its business.

Chief executive Patrick Delany confirmed in an interview with Tim Burrows from Unmade that the Hubbl puck and Television products are now in what he described as “maintenance mode” and would no longer receive marketing support. While existing customers will continue to receive technical assistance, Delany would not guarantee the platform’s survival beyond the next year.
