Fetch TV has commercially released a ‘world-first’ hybrid RDK-Andriod Opensource operating system in the latest Fetch Mini G5 device.
The development is the first platform implementation of the AndApps™ solution from Consult Red, and enables Fetch to easily add Android apps into the RDK ecosystem to enhance the content choice, value and user experience for Fetch customers, whilst maintaining the operator benefits of data security, UX monetisation and transaction management.
Currently available with the new Fetch Mini G5, the AndApps™ functionality will be added to existing Mighty and Mini 4K devices later this year.
Dominic Arena, Fetch CEO, said “We have invested heavily over the past year to pioneer this revolutionary hybrid technology together with our software integration partner, Consult Red, to enable us to deliver an unmatched suite of family-friendly entertainment and lifestyle options all in one place, on Fetch.
“We’ve upped the game in the Australian home entertainment market where no one today matches the Fetch platform’s breadth of features, capabilities and options for family households at such an affordable price.”
Fetch states the new Mini G5 is the “smallest, most powerful, feature-rich, and best value Fetch device to date.”
Measuring 10cm square, the 4K device includes 4GB of RAM, 21.8K DMIPs processor speed, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, a USB accessory port, and a free-to-air tuner, with an RRP of $149.
In addition to FTA channels and apps, premium subscription channels, FAST channels, and all popular streaming apps, Fetch users also have access to a Movie Store with over 11,000 titles to buy or rent.
Viewers using the Mini G5 can also use the Fetch’s 7-day Reverse TV Guide to access shows they may have missed, and can also connect multiple pairs of Bluetooth headphones for silent viewing.
The Mini G5 is available now from Telstra, iiNet, JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman and The Good Guys.
