The introduction of the Safaricom Android TV Box will ease the transition of homes to online entertainment, helping them keep up with their favourite TV channels online.

Customers can use their voice to perform various functions on the TV box such as searching for shows, movies and Apps. In addition, it can be configured to connect to a Home Fibre WiFi network.

Safaricom said the box is part of a strategy to bring its Home Fibre service to more homes.

The TV Box equips any TV with the capability to stream content from YouTube, Netflix, ShowMax, Hulu, Sling and other Android TV Applications.

It also enables users to wirelessly project their smartphone and laptop screens to the TV through screen casting.

“Our Home Fibre service has been well received as it offers unlimited internet connectivity for the entire family in an affordable, monthly, package. The TV remains central to home entertainment and the lack of a feature to directly stream content from the internet has previously been a challenge for potential Safaricom Home Fibre customers. The Android TV Box now empowers customers to connect any TV to the internet opening up a world of endless entertainment options for the family,” said Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom.
