Netgem TV Adds Sports Channels via Supporting UK Broadband ISPs

Digital entertainment platform provider Netgem TV has today announced that their IPTV box and service, which is typically bundled by broadband ISPs like Brsk, TalkTalk, Connect Fibre, CommunityFibre and a few others, will benefit from a new partnership with Sports Studio that adds more than 40 free sports channels from its Free Live Sports streaming platform their TV Guide.

The set-top-boxes that they provide – like the Netbox 4K (inc. HDR, bluetooth pairing, Ethernet, WiFi, USB and Dolby Atmos sound) – tend to be similar to some of those supplied by rival video streaming companies and include an often familiar array of premium content, apps (iPlayer, itvx, 5, UKTV play, Amazon Prime Video etc.), live TV channels (Freeview) and catch-up content.

The new Free Live Sports offering is said to be “available at no charge to viewers” (we’re probably not talking about super premium content here) and is said to include a broad range of live sports channels. Netgem added that they’re the “first European platform to partner with Sports Studio” and the new content will cover everything from Football to Motorsports, and MMA to competitions like Pickleball, Esports, Competitive Slapping (yes.. they said that) and Billiards.

The platform’s new channel lineup includes Big 12 Studios, MTRSPT1, PFL, Tennis Channel, Horse & Country, TNA Wrestling, and many more.

Sylvain Thevenot, Chief Commercial & Customer Officer at Netgem Group, said:

“We’re excited to be the first European platform to partner with Sports Studio and bring the Free Live Sports offering to our viewers in the UK and Ireland. This partnership enhances our commitment to providing a wide variety of premium content, with no subscription required, making world-class sports coverage more accessible.”

We only have one question, does ‘Competitive Slapping’ involve any UK politicians?

    I signed up for Community FIbre TV option alongside my 3gb FTTP line. One feedback: don’t do it.

    The device hardware is appalling, navigating the menus feels like a 33k modem speed, nothing is smooth, half of your usual streaming apps won’t load correctly, or crash, the remote is garbage, and of course, there’s no such thing as TV if you don’t have a robust Freeview antenna. And don’t even think of 4k TV.

    I’m amazed Netgem is still a going concern, easily the worst TV platform on the British market.

      Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the only alternative is Youview which I think is used only by TalkTalk TV. Of course VM and Sky have their own Pay TV platforms, so what are other ISPs to do?

      @Roger

      Simply not offering a pay TV service would be the best option, if their only option is Netgem’s junk.

      Also YouView is used by BT/EE too.
