Android TV: Here's A New Android TV Device From CenturyLink & LG

It seems last week CenturyLink launched a new service designed with cord cutters in listen, CenturyLink Stream. Similar a number of like options, CenturyLink Stream looks to offering consumers a style to engage with Goggle box content without the need for a traditional contract or subscription. Instead, yous pay every bit yous go and in return gain access to a option of live Television set and on-demand content. Merely that is not all, in add-on to launching CenturyLink Stream, CenturyLink has also unveiled its CenturyLink Player – an Android Boob tube device, manufactured by LG no less.

This is CenturyLink's own solution for those who want to use its service but do not have the necessary hardware. And so the downside here is that while this is a new Android Television set device, it is only available from CenturyLink as it is a device designed to work primarily with CenturyLink Stream. Withal, that is not to say that information technology but works with CenturyLink Stream, as this box does seem to come with a full version of Android Goggle box and the Google Play Store in tow. So this is not quite equally limited equally some of the other network and carrier-related Android Tv set boxes that accept come up through recently. To all purposes, this seemingly will work much similar any other Android Tv set box. In terms of the specs, the CenturyLink Player comes loaded with 2GB RAM, 8GB internal storage, and is powered past a quad-core processor (clocking at 1.v GHz). From the looks of information technology, the CenturyLink Player only comes equipped with one HDMI 2.0 port, although it does support voice control through the remote control, and includes 4K support and Bluetooth four.ane. In terms of its concrete backdrop, the CenturyLink Actor measures five.09-inches in length, five.09 inches in width, and 1.25-inches in height.

As for the price, the CenturyLink Player is listed at $89.99 excluding the cost of CenturyLink Stream which is probable to be a prerequisite to buying the box. Speaking of which, CenturyLink Stream is currently only available in two flavors, one labeled equally an "Ultimate" package, and one which is designed for Spanish-speaking viewers. The "Latino" options comes in at $15 per month and includes access to a number of Castilian-speaking channels including BeIn Sports, Discovery en Espanol, ViendoMovies, and more. While the Ultimate parcel is priced at $45 per calendar month and for that amount, CenturyLink Stream offers access to ABC, A&E, CNBC, Discovery Aqueduct, Disney Channel, ESPN, MSNBC NBC, The states, and more than. Both options also come with Cloud DVR for increased recording storage and the ability to watch from anywhere. And both packages also include the pick to add diverse extras, such as a movies add-on, or a a sports addition.

Of class, for the general cord cutters who already own the necessary hardware, there is no requirement to buy the CenturyLink Player to make employ of CenturyLink Stream. This is a proper cord cutting option which is now available via a wealth of alternative devices. For instance, those who own an Android device tin download the CenturyLink Stream app for direct access to the service from smartphones and tablets (does non currently seem to support other Android TV devices), while PC users tin too admission the service directly from the internet.
