London, UK – 12 January, 2021 – Community Fibre and Netgem have joined forces to offer a brand new TV service, Community Fibre TV. The new TV service offers Londoners an entertainment platform with great choice of content at an affordable price. For just £10/month for a 24-month contract when purchased with any Community Fibre broadband package, customers can enjoy 135 TV channels (over 30 channels in HD), streaming services and on-demand content onto one award-winning [1] Netgem 4K TV box. New and existing Community Fibre customers will receive a three-month free subscription to the TV service and a one-year subscription to Amazon Prime, including full access to Prime Video in 4K if they sign up by 4th February.
In addition, by using the Community Fibre TV App, unlimited phone and tablets can be connected over Wi-Fi to the Community Fibre TV account with no extra cost. All users will be able to watch their favourite TV shows simultaneously, with no buffering thanks to the high bandwidth of Community Fibre’s 3 Gigabit-capable network. Differentiating from the TV packages offered by other broadband providers, this feature makes Community Fibre TV ideal for households with multiple members and brings convenience to watch TV on the go, raising the standard on the market.
Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre says: “The launch of Community Fibre TV leverages the power of 100% full-fibre broadband to offer a whole new world of entertainment.
The Community Fibre network has been designed with high speeds, high reliability and multiple users in mind so we wanted to launch an affordable TV offering that can make full use of the home network. With the mission to offer affordable and highly reliable services, we strive to bring customers a great value-for-money TV service that is full of included content and delivered with a 4K resolution and Wi-Fi enabled TV box. The new Community Fibre TV keeps customers entertained on multiple devices both at and away from home.”
Community Fibre TV is delivered on an award-winning Netgem 4K/ HDR TV box offering Dolby Atmos and high specifications to ensure quality picture and audio experience. The box runs on any TV and can be connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet cables. Through integrating with Amazon Alexa, the TV box can be controlled by voice. Customers can also pause, fast-forward and record live TV on a USB stick.
To make the Community Fibre TV suitable for everyone, a number of add-ons are available as and when customers want, on a pay as you go basis. These include Britbox, Youtube 4K, Rakuten TV, hayu, Eros Now, Mubi, Fite, and Amazon Prime Video which is included in the package for customers who sign up to the TV service by 4th February.
