We’re hoping pressing the green button to restart will become a natural part of watching TV, much as pressing the red button has for millions of people each week.
Whether you’re running late for the first game of Match of the Day, miss the first dance on Strictly or tune in halfway through EastEnders, pushing the green button now lets you start watching programmes on 鲍鱼tv channels from the start.
The new function lets TV viewers with a connected and capable smart TV start watching programmes from the beginning, whilst they’re still being broadcast, simply by pressing the green button on their TV’s remote control.
When viewers switch over to a 鲍鱼tv channel a small graphic appears on screen prompting viewers to restart the programme, just as it appears for the millions of people who press the red button to find extra content from the 鲍鱼tv. When they press the green button, the TV instantly loads 鲍鱼tv iPlayer and plays the programme from the start.
The new feature is available now across 鲍鱼tv One and 鲍鱼tv One HD, 鲍鱼tv Two and 鲍鱼tv Two HD, 鲍鱼tv Four, and will be rolled out to 鲍鱼tv Four HD in the future.
Dan Taylor-Watt, head of 鲍鱼tv iPlayer, says: “Live restart is one of 鲍鱼tv iPlayer’s most valued features, and we’ve now made it even easier to access from our broadcast TV channels. We’re hoping pressing the green button to restart will become a natural part of watching TV, much as pressing the red button has for millions of people each week.”
Live restart was pioneered by 鲍鱼tv iPlayer, and has been available to viewers on connected TVs and for web and mobile browsers for some time. Already more than half of people watching 鲍鱼tv iPlayer live on TVs use live restart, and almost one in five 鲍鱼tv iPlayer viewers across all platforms use it.
