50

Harvey Norman has some deep discounts on Hubbl Glass - the 55" is $800 off and the 65" is $900 off.

I personally have the 55" (and ordered another at $600 for the bedroom) and am verry happy with it

    Anyone know when Hubbl enevitably goes offline, will the TV still work?
    Getting major "spotify car thing" vibes

    • yes, it has 3 HDMI inputs as well as an antenna input as well you can access by selecting the input in the OS

    • Don't see why you wouldn't be able to just add on another media source via HDMI in the future.

      If you are buying this buy if the hardware is half decent. Buying based on OS is never a good idea, most inbuilt OS aren't that great and gets slow with updates.

    You'd be crazy to buy this over a Google TV/Android TV, being stuck in the Foxtel ecosystem is a terrible idea.

      except your not stuck in the foxtel ecosystem. it has HDMI inputs you can select. if your looking for a new TV, the Glass hardware is actually quite good - i have one already and ive brought another a this price

        It's targeted at people that want simplicity, not at people that run everything from an external source. It's just going to be another doorstop like what Telstra TV is now.

      • Quick question, if I may… Can you set the TV to always change to an HDMI input when you turn it on?
        I would be using it with a Chromecast or Nvidia shield and want to make sure there's no need to change inputs every time we turn it on.
        Thanks.

        • I'ma ctully not sure as i don''t use mine that way

        • Wouldn't it turn on on the last input used? All my TVs behaved like that, I would assume this wouldn't be different.

          • @ShouldIBuyIt: it first comes up with the Hubbl OS home screen

            • @Tejas57: Well that sucks

              • @ShouldIBuyIt: Not surprised as they're trying to make it easy for people who don't like complicated devices. Makes sense to always land on the same home screen.
                Won't suit my use case though. Thanks for the info.

      • What makes it good hardware?

        • the sound output is actually very good (it has an inbuilt soundbar) and the screen shows no judder or tearing

    • I have a name brand Android TV which still works but stopped getting updates because the vendor no longer provides the updates. Much like phone companies only provide Android/iOS updates and security patches for a limited time.
      And after that, it’s up to app authors to determine whether they support older OS versions. Or you end up using it as a monitor for a smart STB/dongle.

    I am assuming these are just low-mid range 4K TVs with Hubbl functionality built in, contract manufactured for Foxtel (and Sky UK - who sell the Sky Glass). RRP seems complete bullshit but given this is cheaper than a halfway decent Hisense I guess it's a decent price.

    nobody hubbling

    • 🤣🤣🤣

      • i actually would consider a hubble box if it could do plex + maybe stremio!

        • I'm interested in this Hubble TV for bedroom. I like the idea of the "built in soundbar" but can't live without Jellyfin.

          • @wittyidea3460: yep - especially fot the AU market, where we are a bunch of content pirates, it makes no sense to lock these devices down.

            the first rule of subscriber expansion is to get your branded box in the home in the first place!

            so many plex/jellyfin/kodi and increasingly stremio users just walk on by… yet so many also use kayo/disney and free-to-air catch up

            hubble marketing seems like hamish and andy are trying to trick us into paying a highly rigid walled ecosystem

  • That they (Foxtel/Hubbl) thought they could sell these at $1,395 for 55" is hilarious.

    Having said that, $695 for a 65" panel, albeit "no name", isn't completely heinous.

  • Unless picture quality just blows away others in this sub $800 range, I don't see why you wouldn't get a Falcon from JbHifi with Google Tv built in.
