The viewing landscape

Familiar names, explained.

Three separate parts of viewing

A player is the software you use. A service account supplies access to a catalogue. A broadcaster or direct streaming platform has its own distribution and membership arrangements.

A logo can help you describe a programme interest, but it is not evidence that a separate platform subscription is included. We keep those distinctions visible in each reference guide.
