Introducing Watchlists on EE TV – Available Now on Apple TV 4K!

[James_B]

We’re excited to bring you Watchlists, a brand-new feature now live in the My TV section of the EE TV app on Apple TV 4K. 

What are Watchlists? 

Watchlists offer a simple and smart way to save, organise, and return to your favourite shows and movies across multiple streaming services—all from one place. It’s a modern alternative to traditional recordings, making it easier than ever to keep track of content you love.   

Where can I find Watchlists? 

Watchlists are located in the My TV section, accessible via the side navigation bar.  

Note: Purchases and rentals have now moved to a dedicated "Purchases" tab.   

What can I add to my Watchlist? 

You can add any content available in the EE TV app to your watchlist — including on-demand (VOD) and future linear content.*   

Key Features: 

• Unified Access – Browse, manage, and watch saved titles from a single interface 

• Upcoming Linear Content – Save upcoming programmes that automatically convert to VOD where available* 

• Multi-Partner Integration – Add titles from BBC, ITV, NOW, Apple TV+, and more** 

• Personalised Lists – Create and manage up to 10 separate watchlists, perfect for different moods, genres, or even family members 

*Availability of VOD depends on content partner. 

**Feature applies only to content listed in the EE TV app.

Think

Feature applies only to content surfaced in the EE TV app. 

statement could  be better explained as not sure that content surfaced is immediately obvious to a normal user.

Thanks for your feedback, @zulu17 🙂

I've updated that line.

How would I get a new box, I have an old bt box but would love to use Apple TV via box 

[DarrenDev]

@Mr_mojo_risin you'd need to migrate your account to EE, and sign up for a new 2 year contract.

How do I add programmes to my Watchlist?  I cannot find any options to do so.

[DarrenDev]

@brianshep when in the EE TV app, simply highlight the programme you want to add, and then long-press the centre button on the remote.  A menu will appear, offering the option to add to watchlist.

Thanks Darren..  that doesn't seem to work for me for some reason.  I have been in contact with EE (1 hr 3 min call!) regarding another issue (my box won't record the Tour de France Live programme..  apparently a known fault) and mentioned the Watchlist.  The agent told me to press the Info button and it should offer the option there..  it didn't.  I'm being told (on-screen) that any On-Demand programme I watch will automatically be added to the list..  will have to wait and see.  Thanks again.

Ah - you've missed a key point.  This feature is currently only available on Apple TV - not on the TV Box.
