That website is very confusing and I could not find any indication of what you pay and what you get for it apart from a STB. The only clue I found was: Netgem TV members are our customers who are on a monthly subscription directly with Netgem TV through Three UK or their ISP.
Looking at their support pages shows that they supply a Freeview STB (for the normal OTA free broadcasts) with a fancy EPG which integrates IP channels and on-demand apps: To watch Freeview channels on your Netgem TV device you'll need to connect your Set-top Box to a TV aerial. If you don't have an aerial, don't despair: you can still enjoy more than 115 IP channels (channels 830 onwards on your TV guide) and access more than 40 apps with your Netgem TV service. You can find all of your applications under the "All apps" menu on the box. Of course, some Freeview channels have their own apps, such as BBC iPlayer, where you can find some Live TV, but not all Freeview channels have this option.
Its unclear whether the monthly subscription covers any or all IP subscription services like Amazon which seems to get mentioned a lot. However I did find this which does not look very premium:

Sky and Virgin interfaces are both fecking awful to use and the main reason I gave both of them up. Now instead of coming up with something better and easier to use Fredly is going to copy the shit ones and foist it on me.
And I bet I won't be able to record and store live tv for my convenience as I do now either.

To be honest, I don't want a streaming service, I see absolutely no advantage or benefit in it for me at all. So much for 'freedom for the viewer', it's more like it or lump it.

Yes, pretty much, things are moving to a model where you can only 'pay to use' on the vendor's terms, and not be able to keep something in perpetuity.
Everything is going that way, music, computer software, etc.....

Virgin will do well if they keep their PVRs.
Virgin media now have VM Stream but still selling and will support the PVRs with hard drives for years to come. But will become more expensive than VM Stream
Likewise with Sky Stream and Sky Q with hard drive. Sky Q will become more expensive.
And also Manhattan will still support the Freeview PVRs for a few years to come.

I did not think you has to pay for it apart from a new TV which everyone will have to do at some time like going from 405 to 625. This is like taking about the 405 line closing in 1973 by 1984 there were very few 405 line only TVs around. By 2035 many peole will have replaced thier sets. I have just replaced a set I got in 2013 therefore the one I have now will be due for replacement in 2035 it will probably have Freely with all the bugs ironed out by then.

Netgem had signed up some ISPs for the TV service with a STB and USB memory stick, rather than hard drive for recording, Think no UK ISPs now offer Netgem, but Netgem offer the box at £9.99pm.
Talktalk has given up Netgem and now offer it's customers a Google TV box with a Youview DTT tuner, but no recording function, for £5 pm and a Now offer. Unlike Freely no streaming function for the Freeview DTT channels.
I still at times recorded TV using my old Youview box, only as some shows are still not on catchup/on demand.
So would in the short term miss not being able to record some shows.

Moving to streaming only (with no local recording) reduces costs for the service providers - rights can cost less as they're for a limited period only, plus the cost of supporting end users is considerably lower.
The least reliable part of any PVR is the hard drive, so by eliminating that they reduce support costs.

Really? Having had hard drive PVR’s since their UK inception with TiVo in 1996, I have never had one fail.
I've only had issues with the hardware itself, most notably the notorious Thompson made Sky boxes and then a Humax Freesat PVR. Despite being in near constant use, the HDDs have always held up well (possibly because of being in constant use and not always spinning up and down).
Clearly the industry don't want people being able to archive content and would much prefer you have to buy or rent content if you ever want to watch it again, while accepting that those broadcasts (e.g. news or sport) you saved may never be seen again - even the streaming services won't archive such things forever.

The current new customer prices for Sky are
Stream (no hard drive): no Setup cost, One month, free then £28 pm for a 18 months contract.
Q (with hard drive and dish): £20 setup, £31 pm for 18 months contract.
So Sky are steering new customers towards Stream, but Q with a hard drive is available at slightly higher cost. I t could be eventually the gap cost between Stream and Q for new customers will increase?
Does look like Now will be preinstalled on Freely TV sets, so will have availability of some Sky content with no external STB (or UHD) on monthly contracts, but again no hard drive.

You mean apart from it's a pay TV service using an app, not a free TV service built as an integral part of the set (hopefully!).
It's just another Firestick, Roku, Apple TV etc.
