Ask for the specific title and edition
For a film, record the title and release year so support can distinguish a remake. For a series, ask about the exact season and episode. Confirm whether the programme is scheduled live or available on demand, and whether access changes during the subscription term.

| Viewing detail | What to test |
|---|---|
| Audio language | Start playback and check the audio options for the actual title. |
| Subtitles or captions | Select the language and check legibility from your sofa. |
| Resume and search | Leave an episode, return and check whether your player remembers progress. |
| Family viewing | Check the rating and player controls yourself before a child watches. |
Check a broadcaster service directly
For a programme listed by ABC or SBS, check the broadcaster’s official service and current access conditions. A separate IPTV package may have a different catalogue. Ask about the exact title before choosing your term.
