So I have a few Digital apps and an account for each.
TVNZ On demand
Three Now
Netflix
Lightbox
Amazon Prime
Are there any apps which will let you access all of the content from one interface?

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I'll never buy an Apple product in my life though so I'll rule that one out.

I used to think that about Apple but when that blew up I tried the AppleTV4 and now I wouldn't use anything else. Netflix, BBC, Amazon, C4, TV1, it's just so easy and it works.

I use iPhones for work and that's it. Everything else is Windows and Android. Yet AppleTV is rather elegant. I bought one for my parents, my flat uses it, I bought one for a friend. Aside from the typing aspect (the newer ones use voice) it's brilliant.
chevrolux: Roku is a great option.
...except TVNZ/Mediaworks apps.

chevrolux: LG TV then. One of the OLED models, that runs their 'webOS'.
...might cost a bit more than these devices though haha. Dam good option though.

I have no issues with Freeview, I have a Samsung Smart TV (one of the early Samsung Smart LED TVs), and it does Freeview fine.
I'm talking about accessing all of my digital content (paid and free) across all providers from one UI.
So Lightbox, Netflix, Amazon Prime as well as TVNZ On Demand and ThreeNow.

We do all of that on our Apple TV. :)
Plus BBC, SBS Ondemand, 7Plus, Plex, Youtube, stream Live TV from a TV server on the network using TV Mosaic, and can play games on it.
Some of those require a DNS service to access.

It'll never happen. The closest you'll get is one device.
