DNA has launched the new Android TV device, the DNA TV-hubi
10.8.2017 10:02:20 EEST | DNA Oyj | Press release
DNA’s open ecosystem Android TV hub, DNA TV-hubi, is now available. The device combines a set-top box, Chromecast built-in and a smart phone-style app store for TVs. DNA TV-hubi enables you to watch TV and use online applications, play games and listen to music via one easy-to-use system.
DNA TV-hubi uses the Android TV operating system, so Katsomo, Yle Areena and Ruutu, the apps of the three major TV channels in Finland, are available on the system, as well as YouTube and Deezer and a wide range of games and other apps. Netflix will also become available for the device soon. DNA TV-hubi includes Chromecast built-in, which enables you to easily mirror contents from your smart phone or tablet to your TV. You can download applications for DNA TV-hubi from the Google Play app store.
DNA's wide range of TV channels is also naturally available for DNA TV-hubi. DNA's channel package and programme library offerings include a wide range of entertainment and sports, with a continuously growing offering in high-definition. DNA TV-hubi enables you to watch DNA’s pay-TV offering via terrestrial, cable and IPTV distribution.
Thanks to the Android TV OS and the open app store, the range of services can be increased and new features quickly developed for the device.
More and a wider range of TV contents watched
DNA carried out a survey in the spring regarding the digital way of life. The survey revealed that the majority of Finns (57%) felt that it was important to them to be able to watch TV contents whenever they felt like it. Approximately half (46%) of respondents felt that it was important that applications available for mobile devices could also be used on the big TV screen. According to the survey, it was particularly important to find films, TV series, sportscasts and other shows, both online and on TV, easily from one location (55% of respondents, 69% of young respondents of 15 to 24 years of age).
“The pre-sales of DNA TV-hubi proved that there is a real demand for an Android TV device and a new way of watching television. We have already sold thousands of hubs in advance. People are accustomed to using apps on their phones, and DNA TV-hubi makes them easily available for television, too,” explains Mikko Saarentaus, Director at DNA Entertainment Business.
As a whole, people are watching more TV contents than before, and there is a wider range of contents on offer. In DNA’s survey, three out of ten Finns (30%) said that they had been watching more TV contents in the previous year than earlier. This was particularly true among young people (15 to 24 years of age), up to 42% of whom said they had increased their consumption. Largely, this can be attributed to the content available online.
You can use DNA TV-hubi to watch all terrestrial and DNA’s cable channels, and the device is both HD and 4K compatible. DNA TV-hubi includes two HD tuners, which enables you to simultaneously record shows onto a hard drive (purchased separately) and watch them. DNA TV-hubi enables you to watch pay-TV channels on IPTV reception via broadband even if you are outside the coverage area of the terrestrial network or DNA’s cable network. The device includes software-based encryption for pay-TV channels, which means that you will not require a separate TV card.
DNA TV-hubi is manufactured for DNA by Sagemcom.
DNA TV-hubi is available in all DNA Stores and other DNA distribution channels. You can also buy a DNA TV-hubi from Power or Gigantti stores.

Kysely: Suomalaisilta selvä linjaus millainen on paras etätyömalli – DNA kulkee vastavirtaan viimeaikaisen kehityksen kanssa23.9.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote
Samalla kun moni työnantaja kiristää toimistovaatimuksiaan, DNA on päättänyt pitää kiinni mallista, jota yhtiö on noudattanut jo pitkään. DNA:lla ei ole lähityöpakkoa, eikä yhtiö seuraa toimistolla vietettyjen päivien määrää. DNA on myös tutkinut aihetta sekä sisäisesti että laajemmin ulkoisesti. DNA:n teettämän Digitaalinen elämä -tutkimuksen mukaan 41 prosenttia niistä suomalaisista, joiden on mahdollisuus tehdä etätöitä, työskentelee suurimman osan ajasta työpaikalla. Noin joka viides ilmoittaa työskentelevänsä yhtä paljon sekä toimistolla että etänä, ja 23 prosenttia kertoo työskentelevänsä suurimman osan ajasta etänä. 61 prosenttia niistä, joiden on mahdollista tehdä etätöitä, kertoo, että hybridityö olisi heille sopivin tapa tehdä töitä.
Survey: Finns Clearly Favor a Specific Remote Work Model, DNA Is Going Against the Recent Trend23.9.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Press release
While many employers are tightening their return-to-office requirements, DNA has chosen to stick with the model it has followed for years. At DNA, there is no office attendance mandate, and the company does not track the number of days employees spend in the office. DNA has also researched the topic both internally and through broader external studies. According to the Digital Life survey commissioned by DNA, 41% of Finns who have the opportunity to work remotely spend most of their working time at their workplace. Around one in five report working equally from the office and remotely, while 23% say they work remotely most of the time. Among those who have the possibility to work remotely, 61% state that hybrid work would be the most suitable way for them to work.
Ainakin 18 000 lasta kohtaa seksuaalista häirintää verkossa joka viikko – DNA ja Suojellaan Lapsia ry tekevät ilmiön näkyväksi Helsingin Kansalaistorilla10.9.2026 08:15:00 EEST | Tiedote
Ainakin 18 000 lasta kohtaa seksuaalista häirintää sosiaalisessa mediassa joka viikko Suomessa, osoittavat tuoreet tutkimusluvut. DNA ja Suojellaan Lapsia ry tekevät ilmiön näkyväksi Helsingin Kansalaistorilla 10. syyskuuta alkaen installaatiolla, joka havainnollistaa hätkähdyttävällä tavalla lapsiin verkossa kohdistuvan häirinnän mittakaavaa. Samalla halutaan tehdä kuvakaappauksesta jokaisen lapsen ja aikuisen tuntema digiturvataito, joka voi auttaa lasta hakemaan apua häirintätilanteissa.

At least 18,000 children in Finland experience sexual harassment on social media every week, according to recent research findings.

DNA:n elokuun 2026 myydyimmät puhelimet ja älykellot1.9.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
DNA:n elokuun kuluttajamyynnissä korostuivat Applen uusimmat iPhone 17 -sarjan puhelimet sekä koululaisten tarpeisiin hankitut edullisemmat Android-laitteet. Poikkeuksellisesti myydyimpien puhelinten listalla nähtiin laitteita vain kolmelta valmistajalta. Yritysasiakkaiden hankinnoissa suosituimpia olivat edelleen premium-luokan älypuhelimet ja kustannustehokkaat 5G-laitteet. Älykellojen puolella lasten kellopuhelimet jatkoivat vahvaa kasvuaan, ja ZTE K2 säilytti asemansa myydyimpänä laitteena jo viidettä kuukautta peräkkäin.
