Frequently asked questions

How does the picker choose what to watch tonight?

It mixes three things we track every day: films on free-to-air TV tonight in your city, titles that arrived on your streaming services in the last week, and the best rated titles on your services (a score of 7 or more from tens of thousands of viewers). You get 6 picks, not a list of hundreds, and they change every day.

Do I need an account?

No. Your services are remembered in this browser, so next time the page opens on your own picks. Sign in if you want them on every device and alerts when a title you saved lands on one of your services.

What's on free-to-air TV tonight?

3 films are on free-to-air TV in Sydney from 6pm tonight. The picker shows the best known of them, and our movies on TV tonight page lists every film in all eight capitals.

How up to date is the streaming availability?

Streaming availability comes from the daily feed of what is on each service in Australia, last updated Wed, 11 Nov. Titles can leave a service at short notice, so check the title page before you settle in.

Can I get only movies or only series?

Yes. Choose a movie or a series to start, then tap Shuffle for six new picks, or Not this one to swap a single title.
