Sagemcom Unveils Its New-Generation of VSB (Video Soundbox), Now Bringing Home Cinema and Karaoke to Every Living Room, First Deployed by DNA in Finland

Business Wire

BOIS-COLOMBES, France, October 19, 2026--Sagemcom announces the immediate availability of the new generation of VSB (Video Soundbox). Since its launch, operators around the world have chosen Video Soundbox to offer their customers a 4K set-top box and speakers combined in a single device.

Building on this success, Sagemcom introduces its new VSB that takes home entertainment one step further. It is the world's first set-top box for operators based on Broadcom's BCM74116 SoC to be deployed.

The VSB now offers deeper bass and wider sound spatialization for an even more immersive experience. Thanks to audio designed by Bang & Olufsen and Dolby Atmos, the sound is pure, powerful and multidimensional for all types of content. Dolby Vision brings true colors and sharp pictures.

Today, the VSB goes far beyond the traditional TV experience. It can be further enhanced with Wireless Surround Speakers. Available as an option, they extend the sound across the entire room: films and series take on a true cinema dimension, while live sports bring the atmosphere of the stadium into the living room.

The experience now goes even further with the arrival of karaoke. With a kit of two microphones, available separately, karaoke brings a new dimension to the VSB, turning the living room into a stage and making home entertainment truly interactive. Users no longer just watch or listen: they take part in the show.

With this new generation, Sagemcom enables telco and Pay-TV operators to develop a full entertainment experience. It opens new opportunities to offer premium services, strengthen customer satisfaction, and differentiate their offer.

In Finland, DNA, part of the Telenor Group, is the first operator worldwide to commercially deploy the full entertainment experience. The deployment marks the latest evolution of DNA Viihde (DNA Entertainment), DNA's new entertainment service, developed for and available in the Finnish market. It brings together television, streaming services, premium audio, and a wide range of entertainment applications through a single platform and user experience.

"The role of the entertainment box is changing. It is no longer only a gateway to television, but a platform for watching, listening, gaming, and shared experiences. Our collaboration with Sagemcom and Singa allows us to bring this vision to the Finnish market in a concrete and customer-friendly way" says Mikko Saarentaus, Vice President, Value & Entertainment at DNA.

Singa, the Finland-based karaoke streaming service with 2 million registered home singers in 36 countries, offers the largest licensed karaoke catalogue available today, with more than 150,000 songs. Singa is the first karaoke service to partner with a major record label, and its catalogue combines original artist recordings with classic karaoke tracks. On the VSB, the Singa app brings karaoke straight to the TV, available with a separate Singa subscription.
