Smart Search and Mood Matcher

parnellx — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 11:40:15 GMT

ISPreview has an article about Smart Search and Mood Matcher now being available on EETV app on compatible TV devices https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2026/03/ee-uk-launch-ai-powered-conversational-smart-search-for-pay-tv-customers.html

What devices would these be? The video looks just like my Box Pro. It looks a good feature so hopefully won't be long until it's available on EETV hardware.

It's only on the Apple TV for now.

I seen that the trusted reviews website has used an image with a remote that I don't recognise.

Not sure if they have mistakenly used an image from a different providers service or perhaps it is something that has slipped out or is nothing of relevance.

@Weerab2024 looks like they've made their own image. It definitely isn't related to anything we currently offer, and isn't a glimpse into the future (if anything, I'd say that remote is something from the past).

Thanks Darren. Also it said the edge and pro box would get it in the near future but with past experience I would take it that there are no definitive timescales.

You are correct @Weerab2024 - the official statement is that it will be made available on TV Boxes "at a later date".

Given that voice search feature has not been implemented on the Box Pro whilst i can see how its SEARCH facility night be supplemented to use AI features when searching if there is no voice input typing the question/search text would I think reduce its effectiveness. Also the present (Youview) Universal Search available still doesn't return results from all the popular apps.
