Understanding Programme Cards

What do the third party app programme cards display?

When you select a film or TV show that is available through a third-party app (like Prime Video, Tubi, Rakuten TV), a detailed information card pops up to help you decide how and where to watch it.
​

Access Options: The most prominent feature is the different ways you can start watching.

  • Example: For a popular film, the card may display: 'Tubi', 'Prime Video', 'Rakuten TV', etc.

'Find Out More' Information: Before you commit, the card provides crucial details about the content.

  • Example: You can view a full synopsis, see the cast and crew list, and check the age rating (e.g., PG).

'You Might Also Like' Suggestions: The card features personalised recommendations based on what you've selected.

  • Example: If you select a classic spy thriller, a row appears at the bottom suggesting 'Similar Films' or 'Content Starring [Main Actor]' that you can browse next.
