How do I play and navigate through a programme?Ìý
When you select a programme to play, you'll notice a simple playback bar on screen showing how far through the programme you are. You can use theÌý±ð²Ô³Ù±ð°ù/²õ±ð±ô±ð³¦³Ù or pause button on your remote to pause the programme. The same enter/select button, or the play button will resume.Ìý
To Fast Forward or Rewind, use either the FF ´Ç°ùÌýRW buttons on your remote, or use the arrows/direction buttons to move the playback bar back and forward. Navigating through the programme will bring upÌývisual stills, so you can easily see when to press play again.
How can I use subtitles or select accessible versions of the programme?
Our accessibility options can be found using the speech bubbleÌýicon on the top left of the screen. You can reach itÌýusing the arrow/direction button on your remote and usingÌýthe enter/select button to select.
In the accessibility menu, you can choose to switch on subtitles, and you can also choose the size of the subtitles. Once selected, we'll remember your choices. You can switch off subtitles in the same way.Ìý
You can also choose to watch the Signed or Audio Described version of the episode you're watching, if available.Ìý
How can I find more episodes of a programme or add a programme?
Using the 'More episodes' icon (stacked squares with a play/triangle on top) on the top left will bring you to all available episodes of the programme you're watching. You'll also see a '+' icon on the top left to add the programme to your Watchlist.
