Coming in a $100 puck or integrated into a full 4K TV with built-in sound system, Hubbl focuses on simplicity but still has some gaps.
With the sheer number of streaming-on-demand services available, trying to watch all the best and biggest new shows and movies has become a bit of a mess.
Stan and Paramount+ aren’t available, but Hubbl says they’re coming, and most smaller streamers don’t get a look in. Hubbl’s lists, such as the “trending” and “TV guide” items seen here, mix live TV, catch-up and streaming apps.The slightly tortured streamlining is common to systems that try to pool everything together, like Google or Fetch TV. Still, Hubbl does a better job than most at trying to highlight new content from all sources, rather than just the stuff from the company that owns it.
The Fetch Mighty, which is more than $300, also has a hard drive for recording broadcast TV. Only the Fetch and Hubbl options have a plug for your terrestrial antenna, which is handy, and helps Hubbl stand out as an easy all-in-one at a low price.
