On demand
Films and series on demand, explained without the poster wall
The on-demand half of the service behaves much more like the streaming apps you already use than like live television. This page covers how it is organised, what to expect from quality and subtitles, and why you will not see film artwork anywhere on this site.
How it behaves
Four ways on demand differs from the live channels
You control the clock
Start, pause, rewind and resume. Nothing depends on a broadcast schedule, so it fits around the household rather than the other way round.
It is gentler on your line
On-demand playback loads ahead of you, so a brief dip in your connection is usually absorbed instead of appearing on screen.
Search beats browsing
The library is large. Typing three letters of a title is far quicker than scrolling with a remote control, and it is the habit worth teaching the household.
Series keep your place
Box sets are presented as season and episode lists with resume points, so nobody has to remember where they stopped.
Genres
How the library is grouped
Categories rather than titles, for the same reason we do not name channels.
Drama and thriller
The largest single section, spanning recent releases and older catalogue titles.
Comedy
Films and long-running series, including plenty that Irish households grew up with.
Family and animation
The section most used in houses with young children, and the one worth locking properly.
Action and adventure
Where picture quality is most visible, so a good connection pays off here.
Documentary
History, nature and true stories, often the strongest section for standard definition sources.
International
Titles in other languages, useful for households who moved to Ireland and want both.
Practical detail
Subtitles, audio and quality
- Subtitles exist on much of the library but not on every title, and the language options vary.
- Some titles carry more than one audio track. Where they do, the player lets you switch during playback.
- Older catalogue titles are often standard definition because that is how they were mastered.
- If accessibility features matter in your household, ask us first rather than assuming.
We do not publish the size of the library as a number. Catalogue counts in this market are routinely inflated by counting the same title several times, and the figure would not help you decide anything.
Households with children
Setting the controls before anyone needs them
-
Tell us when you order
Say that there are children in the house and we will apply a content lock to your line from the start.
-
Set a PIN in the player
Most players allow a PIN on categories as a second layer. Choose something the children do not already know.
-
Build a family favourites list
A short list of approved channels is more effective in practice than relying on restrictions alone.
Common questions
About the on-demand library
Is a specific film in the library?
Ask us and we will look. We do not publish film titles or posters on this website, because doing so implies distribution rights we are not going to claim in public. A direct question gets a direct answer.
How often does the catalogue change?
It is refreshed on an ongoing basis rather than to a published schedule. Titles are added and some are removed, exactly as happens on mainstream streaming services.
Are subtitles available?
On much of the library, though not universally, and the languages available vary by title. If subtitles matter to someone in your household, tell us before ordering so you are not disappointed.
Can I stop children reaching the wrong section?
Yes. Ask us to apply a content lock to your line, and use the PIN options in the player as well. Mention it when you order and we will set it up from the beginning rather than after an awkward moment.
Ask about a title
We will check the library for you before you buy
We do not publish titles publicly, but we will happily answer a direct question about whether something is there. That is a far more useful answer than a poster wall.
