THE LATEST ADDITION to the Samsung Smart Hub is a new property search app powered by Daft.ie.
Users already enjoy YouTube, the RTE Player, Netflix, Muzu.tv, Facebook and Twitter through their television screens and now they will also be able to search for a new home or showcase their rental accommodation though their sets as well.
Samsung announced the partnership with Ireland’s largest property website earlier today. It said the app will allow users search for their next home on a bigger screen and from the comfort of the couch.
Marketing manager at Samsung Ireland Brendan Carr said the move was part of the company’s commitment to providing viewers with a wide range of content and services “beyond video-on-demand and film services”.
“Our partnership with Daft.ie provides a new way to look at property searching. By viewing images on the television, house hunters will be able to get a better insight into the property, but they can also access shortlists they may have made on their mobile phone while out and about viewing potential homes.”
Daft.ie’s marketing director Kieran Harte added, “It’s the next evolution from our success in the smartphone and tablet environments.”
Daft.ie is part of the Distilled Media group. Nine out of every 10 properties for sale in Ireland are advertised on the site which as 1.9 million monthly unique browsers.
Journal Media Ltd has shareholders – Brian and Eamonn Fallon – in common with Distilled Media Group.

Cold enough to make lawyers put their hands in their own pockets.
Last month the number of rough sleepers soared to a shameful new high of 184 because of government housing policy.
Are there sufficient emergency beds for every one of those people tonight.
If not and god forbid if any should die in the cold on the streets over the coming days, then it is only right that Socky Varadkar and Eoghan ‘Poshboy’ Murphy be charged with manslaughter.
@Colin Morris: ridiculous that the winter plan begins in mid December. Government has a lot to answer for, banks too
@Colin Morris:
That’s very sad Colin, there is accommodation available for everybody.
I know a drunken bum barred for violence last week, And was accommodated immediately.
The rough sleepers may have unfortunate problems, preventing them to be easily looked after god help them.
@Benjamin Dolan: a drunken bum ??
That’s why man slaughter charges need to be pursued against Socky Varadkar and Poshboy Murphy if there are any preventable deaths of homeless people this year.
Their refusal to do their jobs is criminally negligent.
Winter is coming!
@Jon Snow: You know nothing, Jon Snow…
