Playing content on your mobile or tablet
You can watch selected channels, movies and recordings on your mobile or tablet in the
comfort of your own home or on the go (see Page 4).
FAQs for playing Subscription TV and Movie Box
This section explores messages given by the app when playing Movie Box (see Page 22)
and live Subscription TV channels (see Page 24) on mobiles and tablets.
How many playback devices are allowed?
A playback device is any paired mobile or tablet on which you can play Fetch TV content.
There’s a limit of 5 devices that can be paired to the set top box to watch Standard Definition
Free to Air Recordings.
However, you can only have up to 3 registered playback devices at any time for watching
live Subscription TV channels and Movie Box.
Fetch TV will register your mobile or tablet the first time you play Subscription TV or Movie
Box on it. You can then register 2 more mobiles or tablets to have a total of 3 playback
devices for this type of content.
Figure 40: Registering a device for playback of Movie Box
Switching playback devices
You can switch playback devices if you already have 3 playback devices registered and
need to add a new device. If you try to watch Subscription TV or Movie Box on the
unregistered mobile or tablet, the app will prompt you to switch out an existing device. There
is a limit of 2 switches per calendar month and 10 switches per calendar year.
Fetch TV App Version 1.9 Guide
Monday, 2 December 2013 33
Figure 41: Playback Unavailable (maximum number of registered devices)
If you Cancel the warning, you won’t be able to watch Movie Box movie or
Subscription TV on this new mobile or tablet. However, you can still watch on your
set top box and TV, or on one of your other registered playback devices, and you can
always watch Standard Definition Free to Air recordings on any paired mobile or
tablet.
If you choose to Switch Out, you may then choose the device to switch out, and will
then need to enter your Parental PIN to proceed.
Figure 42: Choose mobile or tablet
Figure 43: Enter Parental PIN
Once your new mobile or tablet is registered, the content will start playing. If your device
cannot be registered at this point, the app will inform you.
Fetch TV App Version 1.9 Guide
Monday, 2 December 2013 34
What happens if you reach the switch out limit?
If you’ve already switched playback devices twice this month or 10 times this year, the app
will inform you.
Figure 44: Playback unavailable this month or year
You can still watch on your set top box and TV, or watch Standard Definition Free to Air
recordings on your paired mobile or tablet.
Can I play content on more than one mobile device at the same time?
