Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is JubileeTV and how can I use it to support my aging loved one?

Think of JubileeTV as your secret weapon for supporting the older folks you love. It's not a fancy tablet they'll never figure out or some slick phone to confuse them. Here's the deal:

It's all about their TV: We make their existing TV smarter and simpler.

You're the ultimate support team: The JubileeTV App is your command center. See what they're watching, fix TV troubles (even from miles away), send photos to their screen, and pop up for video calls without them having to lift a finger.

Connection made easy: Video calls on a big screen they're familiar with? Check. Throwing their favorite family photos up on the TV for a smile? Done. Sending heartwarming reminders to make them feel loved? You got it.

JubileeTV is about ditching the frustration and making it easy to be there for your loved one. It's about giving them back control over their TV and giving you the tools to make sure they're connected and supported.

Who is JubileeTV for?

Let's cut to the chase:

Tired of playing phone tag with Mom and Dad? Ditch the endless "Can you hear me now?" and say hello on their big screen instead. It's simpler, clearer, and way more fun.

Sick of being their on-call IT crew? No more driving across town to fix their TV. With JubileeTV, you see what they see and fix those pesky problems from anywhere.

Want to send pics and videos they can actually enjoy? We turn their TV into a giant photo frame. Forget squinting at tiny phone screens, they get to relive memories in all their glory.

Worried about them feeling lonely? Pop up for a video call or send some love with a quick reminder, right to their TV. Connection happens on their terms.

Bottom line: JubileeTV is for families who want to be there for their aging loved ones – truly there – without all the tech headaches. And it's for older adults who crave connection without the complicated gadgets.

What makes JubileeTV unique?

Look, every other TV-based systems out there depends on outdated tech. That means TV and power control is finicky and unreliable. Not JubileeTV. We ditched the status quo and built a rock-solid system from the ground up. And let's be real, tablets? Good for grandkids playing games, not for connecting with Grandma.

Here's what sets us apart:

Reliability you can bet the house on: We know how frustrating it is when tech fails. That's why JubileeTV is always aware of your loved one's TV status – we can even turn it on remotely if needed.

Their remote, simplified: No forcing them to learn some confusing new gadget. We keep things familiar, adding voice control for maximum ease-of-use.

Control that puts YOU in the driver's seat: Our app isn't just for video calls. See what they're watching in real-time and understand TV routines, troubleshoot from afar, share pics and videos – you're the ultimate remote support team.

Forget the tiny screen: Tablets are fiddly, with confusing menus and small screens. JubileeTV blasts video calls and photos onto their biggest screen, where they can actually see and enjoy them.

Staying connected with the older folks you love should be simple, and with us, it finally is.

How much will JubileeTV cost me?

After you purchase The Hub, there is a required Membership. We offer a flexible Monthly membership for $29 per month, or an Annual Membership for $269 per year or the equivalent of $23 per month (23% savings). Both plans include one free month of membership.

TV & Source Devices

What TV setup does my aging loved one need to use JubileeTV?

Your loved one needs a TV with HDMI, an internet connection, and at least one source device, either a cable/satellite set-top box or a streaming player like Roku. JubileeTV will not work without a source device, so if your loved one uses only a Smart TV to watch TV, you'll need to add a Roku or other source device.

Can I cancel cable/satellite once I get JubileeTV?

We don't recommend that you cancel cable or satellite service. JubileeTV does not provide any television programming and was designed to make it easier to find programming on the cable or satellite service you already use.

Does JubileeTV work with Smart TVs?

If you have a Smart TV, you must have at least one source device, such as a set-top box or streaming player connected to JubileeTV.

Can my loved one still watch apps directly on their Smart TV?

JubileeTV cannot control apps running directly on a Smart TV and cannot display video calls, reminders and messages while apps are running on a Smart TV. We highly recommend switching to a Roku player such as a Roku Express. To access Smart TV apps your loved one will need to use their original Smart TV remote.

How many devices can I hook up to The Hub?

You can connect up to four devices (such as cable, satellite, streaming device, DVD player), via HDMI, plus one output to the TV.

What cable/satellite providers does JubileeTV support?

Set-top boxes from the following TV service providers are supported:

  • Dish
  • DirecTV
  • Comcast Xfinity
  • Spectrum
  • Optimum

Set-top boxes from TV service providers other than those listed may not function properly with the JubileeTV system. Please contact us with questions.

What streaming players does JubileeTV support?

JubileeTV works with most streaming devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV stick, Apple TV, and Chromecast.

Do all streaming players work the same with JubileeTV?

We recommend a Roku player (Roku Ulta, Roku Streaming Stick or Roku Express) for the best experience. With a Roku connected you’ll be able to save streaming apps like Netflix and Prime Video to your JubileeTV Favorites menu for easy access. You will also be able to use voice control to open Roku apps, so you can say “Netflix” and JubileeTV will automatically switch to Roku and open Netflix.

Can I connect a sound system to The Hub?

JubileeTV does not directly support soundbars or Audio Video Receivers (AVRs). A soundbar or AVR connected directly to the TV that is automatically powered on and off together with the TV (or is always on) and controlled using the TV’s volume commands may work (for example, soundbars and AVRs using HDMI ARC), but you won’t be able to use the JubileeTV remote to control the soundbar separately from the TV. Soundbars and AVRs not automatically controlled via the TV commands cannot be controlled using the JubileeTV Voice Remote. You will need to use a separate remote to control them.

Installation

What is a Virtual Install?

We offer a free Virtual Install call to all customers to assist you in setting up your system and ensuring everything is running smoothly. During the call, a friendly JubileeTV Pro will guide you though the setup process and provide instructions on configuring the system to work with your specific television and source devices. After you're up and running we'll walk you through how to use our features and show you a few handy tips and tricks.

How do I schedule my Virtual Install?

You'll receive a link to schedule your Virtual Install after signing up for your JubileeTV Membership.

Can I set up JubileeTV by myself?

Some steps can be completed ahead of your scheduled Virtual Install. However, we highly recommend you schedule your Virtual Install to complete the final installation steps and activate JubileeTV.

How long does the Virtual Install take?

The Virtual Install call typically takes about 20-30 minutes, provided you have connected The Hub prior to your scheduled call.

Can I install JubileeTV in a Senior Living Community e.g. Assisted Living, Memory Care, etc?

Please contact us if you plan to install JubileeTV in a senior living community so we can help determine if it will work for you. There may be special considerations regarding internet connection and set-top box.

What happens if I choose not to renew my Membership?
