London ISP Community Fibre to Launch Netgem Pay TV Service
London-centric broadband ISP CommunityFibre, which is busy deploying their gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across large apartment buildings in the UK’s capital city, has today concluded an agreement to launch a new branded “Community Fibre TV” service using the Netgem TV (IPTV) platform.
Subscribers will, among other things, receive Netgem’s latest Netbox 4K set-top-box as part of their “Pay TV lite” solution, which tends to be similar to some of those streaming boxes supplied by rival video companies. The box includes the usual array of premium content (sports), apps (Amazon Prime Video, BritBox, Rakuten TV, YouTube etc.), live TV channels (Freeview) and catch-up content.
At present there are no details about the new service showing on CommunityFibre’s website, but we assume more information will surface in the near future (likely January 2021).

If Netgem could get access to the Sky Sports Channels it would be a decent box I think for certain.
Netjunk TV.
I see what you did.
Absolutely, from my experience it offers nothing more than the average smart TV. It you’re looking for an upgrade on what most smart TVs offer but don’t want or can not get Sky or Virgin one of the Amazon FireTV options or Roku are much better and much cheaper than Netgem.
