NEW NetBox 4K: Freeview Play smart TV box + Streaming in Ultra HD + USB recording = all in one place

Product Information

Jul 28, 2021) “The Netgem Netbox 4K device has been a great improvement to the vareity of TV shows and movies, me and my family watch on TV. There is one of these awful help 'bots' that seems to think it is fun to answer a different question to the one you've asked and when it passes you to a human NOTHING HAPPENS. Netgem also acts as a central hub for subscription services like Prime Video and BT Sport, though these must be paid for separately.

The box has a wide range of apps to select from, in fact BT Sport was recently added in the past month or so. It has everything you need, but the button-setup is a bit confusing, and the navigation buttons in the middle – which are the buttons you would use the most – are just plain bad, because they are too flat – so you’re not always sure whether you actually pressed them or not. Welcome to the unofficial subreddit of Rogers Communications, one of the largest telecommunications providers in Canada. Credit, too, for making smartphone pairing part of the setup routine, so that the accompanying app’s all ready to use by the time you’re watching telly. I was a tester for the original YouView box which preceded the DN360, evaluated Sky Sports on TalkTalk some time back and am still a feedback panel member for YouView.This means that once the Netbox learns your TV tastes – for example, you like dramas – it will try to show you personalised recommendations from Freeview Play apps (such as the BBC), or dramas available on Prime Video, or even related movies available to rent on Rakuten. In a nice touch, the user can also use the mobile app to initiate playback of recordings on the box itself and can also be used as a remote control, with the ability to change channel and set/play and pause recordings on the box. Some might find it easier to use, with personalised recommendations taking the front stage – and if you belong to that camp, then the Netbox is an interesting choice. I've been happy with TT to date and if there was a degree of certainty I could survive with my DN372 in the meantime.

I have solved the issue by reversing the procedure and using the TV remote to control the Netgem box. Those extra bits may require an extra separate subscription (such as Prime Video) etc, but it’s all available on one box, which is the good thing. I also found that recording from live TV would block me from switching to other live TV channels, which was something I wasn’t really used to. What I did like is how Netgem took some of my favourite shows and highlighted them on the Home screen.The Netbox, however, has a pretty slick interface – it’s not the fastest on the market (that still goes to the Manhattan T3-R), but it’s better than most Smart TV interfaces. Firstly, the additional Netgem channels appear to be presented over IP but they are very high quality and show up as quick as the normal terrestrial channels.
