Improvements to your EE TV experience

James_B · ‎21-09-2026

We've recently made a few improvements to your TV experience to help you discover great content more easily and get quicker access to the things you love watching. Here's what you might notice...

Disney+ now available in Search on EE TV

Finding something to watch just got even easier. You can now use Search on your EE TV box to find films and TV shows available on Disney+.
From blockbuster movies and brand new originals to exclusive hit shows from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, Hulu, National Geographic and FX, a lifetime of great stories awaits. Simply search for a title, actor or genre and we'll show you where it's available to watch, helping you spend less time browsing and more time enjoying your favourite entertainment. *

Live sport, made easier

You'll now see selected live events from Prime Video promoted directly on your EE TV Home screen. Set a reminder before the event starts, then launch straight into the action when it's live.
Just in time for the UEFA Champions League season.**

Netflix picks, personalised for you

Netflix recommendations on your EE TV homepage are now tailored to your viewing habits, helping you discover programmes and films you’re more likely to love and find something great to watch, faster.***

We'll continue making improvements like these to help create an even better TV experience, and we'll keep you updated on any future changes.

**Prime Video subscription and sign-in required.

***Netflix subscription and sign-in required. Applies to top row only.

Thank you - when it says

Simply search for a title, actor or genre and we'll show you where it's available to watch, helping you spend less time browsing and more time enjoying your favourite entertainment.

I'm unclear how genre search can be made on EETV Youview boxes ?

Hi @zulu17,

Thanks for your question.

This feature is currently only available via the EE TV app on the Apple TV 4K box.

James will youview be getting voice search ..and when will we be able to search and add netflix shows to my tv

@Tomjeffrey20 we cannot discuss timelines for future features - they'll be announced if/when they happen.

Given that EE TV base subscription plans include one or more of NOW ,TNT sports via HBO MAX , Netflix would it not be sensible to have each of those three apps prominently featured on the top rail allongside the PSB apps and one other rotating app.

If i understand correctly the welcome Netflix recommendations only apply to the top row only and NETFLIX does not have a permanent only an occasional presence on the top rail.

DarrenDev · ‎10-10-2026

@zulu17 I thought you were normally the person explaining prominence rules to others? We don't get to dictate apps in the top rail like that.

The full app list is just below though anyway. They're always visible on the front screen.

zulu17 · ‎10-10-2026

Only the top rail apps get their suggested/promoted content shown on the top of the home page. So if Netflix is on top rail you get your recommended programme as the home page rotates through the top rail.. if it is not in there but in the lower general order you don't you jusrt have the opruon to ipen the aop itself. Retaining the PSB apps on the top rail in their proscribed order preserves their prominence you juat have a few apps more that follow.

As it stands the improvement added to provide Netflix recommendations seems to going to be little used which is a shame

Maybe BTTV could have a seperate distinctive home page when it launches.

Just ideas.

When you say that the Netflix suggests are little used, I can only assume this is based on your personal experience? 50% of boxes were enabled for this feature weeks ahead of launch to test it, and the difference in user behaviour was significant. Whether other apps now choose to also implement this feature is down to them.

zulu17 · ‎11-10-2026

perhaps i have not explained it very well .... a useful feature is available but *** Applies to top row only. -- So only if Netfliz is featured on the top rail is it available. Most of the time Netflix is not in the top rail so the feature is not used most of the time.

My idea is that the apps that EETV feature as core apps in their base packages should appear in the top rail after the PSB apps so the feature is available more often.
