Netflix comes to DNA TV-hubi - programmes also in 4K format
7.9.2017 13:16:40 EEST | DNA Oyj | Press release
DNA is Finland’s first TV operator to offer Netflix programmes in 4K quality via its digibox (DNA TV-hubi). Customers need a 4K television and Netflix 4K subscription to watch programmes in 4K format. The recommended broadband speed for Netflix 4K-content is 25 Mbit/s.
“Netflix is a major addition to the services offered by DNA TV-hubi. Its 4K feature, in particular, will take the viewing of content into a new era,” says Mikko Saarentaus, Director at DNA Entertainment Business.
The Netflix application can be directly activated on DNA TV-hubi via the device menu, channel 140, the channel chain or the programme guide. Soon it can also be easily accessed with a simple click of a Netflix button on the DNA TV remote control.
Netflix, with its wide range of critically-acclaimed movies, stand up comedies, documentaries, TV series and kids content for people of all ages, is the world’s leading internet entertainment service. In addition, Netflix produces many exclusive programmes of its own (such as House of Cards, Narcos, The Crown, Stranger Things and 13 Reasons Why), most of them in 4K..
Viewers can log into the service using their existing Netflix account. If you do not yet have your own account, you can subscribe for one directly from www.netflix.fi.
”We want to offer our customers a service which makes it easy to move between different types of content. It is particularly important that movies, TV series, sport and other online and TV content can be found easily in the same place. People want to watch TV content according to their own schedule and to use mobile applications on large TV screens,” explains Saarentaus.
DNA began sales of DNA TV-hubi this summer.
”Sales of DNA TV-hubi have got off to a brisk start, which shows that Finns are keen to switch to a new kind of television viewing,” Saarentaus comments.
DNA TV-hubi is a new Android TV device, which combines a digibox, internet applications, games and music into a single package, and brings the app store world familiar from mobile phones to television. Applications provided by the three biggest Finnish TV channels - Katsomo, Yle Areena and Ruutu - run on DNA TV-hubi, as do YouTube, Deezer and now Netflix. A range of games and other applications from the Google Play app store are now available via the device. Google Cast, which enables the easy mirroring of content from a smart phone or tablet to a TV, is built into DNA TV-hubi. DNA’s comprehensive range of pay-TV services are available on DNA TV-hubi, via antenna, cable and IPTV transmission.
DNA TV-hubi is manufactured for DNA by Sagemcom.

Älypuhelinten käyttö vähenee pienillä lapsilla – pelkkä rajoittaminen ei silti riitä20.5.2026 09:15:00 EEST | Tiedote
DNA panostaa vahvasti ja pitkäjänteisesti lasten digiturvataitojen kehittämiseen yhteistyökumppaninsa Suojellaan Lapsia ry:n kanssa, joka on järjestänyt pienille koululaisille digiturvatyöpajoja jo useamman vuoden ajan. Tänä keväänä yhtiö jakoi lisäksi digitaitojen tehtävävihkoja yli 230 000 suomalaiseen kotiin. Vaikka älypuhelinten käyttö aloitetaan aiempaa myöhemmin, lapset kohtaavat verkossa suuriakin riskejä – ja siksi digiturvataitojen merkitys korostuu entisestään. Aihe korostuu juuri nyt, kun koululaisten kesälomat alkavat ennen vanhempien lomakautta. Kesäkuussa moni lapsi viettää pitkiä aikoja kotona ja verkossa ilman aikuisen valvontaa, mikä lisää riskiä kohdata haitallista sisältöä tai epäasiallisia yhteydenottoja.
Smartphone use is declining among small children – but limiting the use is not enough20.5.2026 09:15:00 EEST | Press release
DNA is consistently developing children’s digital safety skills together with its partner Protect Children Association, which has been organizing digital safety workshops for young schoolchildren for several years. This spring, the company also distributed digital skills exercise booklets to more than 230,000 Finnish homes. Although children are starting to use smartphones later than before, they still face major risks online – which makes digital safety skills more important than ever. The topic is particularly relevant right now, as school summer holidays begin before many parents start their own vacations. In June, many children spend long periods at home and online without adult supervision, which increases the risk of encountering harmful content or inappropriate contact.
Kevätsiivouksessa sivuutetaan usein elektroniikka – vanhoja laitteita ei kannata jättää kaapin pohjalle19.5.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Kevätsiivouksen yhteydessä vanhat puhelimet, tabletit ja johdot päätyvät monessa kodissa takaisin laatikon pohjalle, koska niiden jatkokohtalosta ei osata päättää tai oikeista kierrätystavoista ei tiedetä. DNA:n laitemyynnin osastopäällikkö Jesse Kieksin mukaan kyseessä on haitallinen tapa, joka voi aiheuttaa tietoturva- ja turvallisuusriskejä sekä turhaa rahanmenetystä ja ympäristökuormitusta.
Electronics often overlooked in spring cleaning – old devices should not be left at the back of a drawer19.5.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
During spring cleaning, old phones, tablets and cables often end up back at the bottom of drawers in many homes, as people are unsure what to do with them or are unfamiliar with proper recycling methods. According to Jesse Kieksi, Head of Device Sales at DNA, this is a harmful habit that can lead to data security and safety risks, as well as unnecessary financial loss and environmental harm.
