Netflix comes to DNA TV-hubi - programmes also in 4K format
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.

DNA:n ja Telian yhteisesti omistaman Suomen Yhteisverkon (SYV) 3G-palvelut päättyvät toukokuusta alkaen alueittain. 3G-verkon alasajo vapauttaa vanhan tekniikan käytössä olleet taajuudet ja resurssit turvallisemmille ja energiatehokkaammille 4G- ja 5G-verkkoteknologioille, jotka tarjoavat asiakkaille paremman käyttökokemuksen.

DNA:n käyttämä 5G-verkko yltää nyt Etelä-Karjalassa liki joka kolkkaan11.4.2024 09:55:00 EEST | Tiedote
DNA:n käyttämän 5G-verkon rakennustyöt Etelä-Karjalassa ovat saavuttaneet pisteen, jossa 5G-verkon peitto yltää maakunnassa liki kaikkialle ja asukkaiden tavoittavuus lähestyy 100 prosentin tasoa heidän asuinpaikkojensa perusteella. Koko maan tasolla kuuluvuudessa on kuitenkin yhä alueellista vaihtelua, minkä vuoksi verkkoa parannetaan jatkuvasti. Tavoite on erityisesti maantieteellisen peiton vahvistaminen ja kasvattaminen. Laskennallisesti 5G-verkko tavoittaa noin 96 prosenttia suomalaisista koko maassa, yhteensä yli 250 paikkakunnalla. 5G-rakentamisen myötä paranevat myös 4G-yhteydet.
DNA’s 5G network now reaches almost every corner of South Karelia11.4.2024 09:55:00 EEST | Press release
DNA’s 5G network in South Karelia now reaches nearly all parts of the region, and coverage of the population is approaching 100% based on residents’ location. At the national level, however, there are still regional variations in coverage, which is why the network is constantly being improved. In particular, DNA’s goal is to reinforce and increase geographic coverage. The 5G network has a theoretical coverage of around 96% of Finland’s population in more than 250 localities. The construction of 5G infrastructure also improves 4G connections.
