Watching Online Films on Alternate Devices
Can I watch content on my iPhone/iPad?
Yes, you can watch content using Safari on iOS 11.2 or later.
Notes: The “Screen Mirroring” feature cannot be used - please ensure you turn off Screen Mirroring if you encounter trouble playing content.
You also cannot use a lightning to HDMI adapter to connect to your TV. Try using AirPlay instead if you have a compatible TV or streaming box.
Can I watch content on my Android Device?
Yes, you can watch content using Chrome on Android 6.0 or later.
Can I Chromecast?
You can cast to a 3rd generation or newer Chromecast device.
To see if you can cast from your device, play a film and look for this icon in the bottom right corner of your video player:
To Chromecast from an Android phone or tablet:
Make sure your Chromecast device is on the same Wi-fi network as your mobile device.
After the video is playing, tap the "Cast" icon in the bottom right corner of the video player. If the icon doesn't appear, unfortunately casting is not supported on your device.
To Chromecast from your computer:
Make sure you're using Google Chrome as your browser.
After the video is playing, tap the "Cast" icon in the bottom right corner of the video player. If the icon doesn't appear, unfortunately casting is not supported on your device.
Can I AirPlay to my AppleTV?
You can AirPlay from most browsers if you have an AirPlay compatible TV or streaming box by selecting the AirPlay button in the bottom right-hand side of the player. If the icon doesn't appear, unfortunately casting is not supported on your device.
Compatible Smart TV include select Samsung, LG, Sony and VIZIO models.
Compatible streaming boxes include AppleTV Gen4 and above, and select Roku HD streaming devices running the most up-to-date software.
Can I use the web browser built into my TV?
Maybe. Unfortunately, many built-in Smart TV web browsers don't support protected content playback. If you get a black screen or error message, it's likely that your TV is not compatible. Try another method to get the video onto your TV.
Can I connect my computer with a cable to watch on my TV?
You can directly connect your laptop or computer using an HDMI cable, by following these steps:
- Make sure your computer is close enough to your TV for the HDMI cable to reach
- Connect one end of the HDMI cable into your computer.
- Plug the other end of the cable into an available HDMI port on the TV. Take note of the HDMI input number.
- Using the TV's remote control, set the TV to the HDMI input that matches the port you connected the cable to. Often this will have a naming scheme like "AUX1" or something similar.
If your computer's display does not automatically appear on your television screen, you may need to have the computer manually detect the display.
On Windows: Right-click on the desktop and select "Display Settings" > "Detect" > "Multiple displays", and select "Duplicate these displays", and click Apply.
On Mac: Go to the Apple Menu and choose "System Preferences". Choose “Displays”, and hold down the “Option” key to show the “Detect Displays” option. Click on “Detect Displays” while holding down the Option key.
