SBS On Demand [iPad]

SBS On Demand gives you free, unlimited access to programs and movies on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch so that you can watch your favourite SBS shows when you want.

SBS On Demand offers the following features:

• Search or browse from thousands of videos and discover documentaries, feature films, food shows and much more.
• Add your favourite videos to the Playlist so that you can watch them later. Plus, if you’re signed in with your SBS On Demand account, you’ll be able to access your Playlist across all devices with SBS On Demand available (website, Xbox, PlayStation 3 and IPTV).
• Stay up to date by subscribing to a program. With this feature, new episodes will be automatically added to your playlist.
• Be notified by the app when a new subscription video has been added to your Playlist, or if a Playlist video is about to expire.
• Find out which programs are coming soon to SBS On Demand, and add them so that they’ll automatically be included in your Playlist once available.
• If you enjoyed a video, share it with your friends via Twitter, Facebook or email.
• Adaptive video quality: Videos automatically adjust to available bandwidth and network conditions.

This app is designed for devices running iOS 5 and above. Watching SBS On Demand on any Apple device is metered regardless of your ISP. Due to rights restrictions, most videos on SBS On Demand are geo-blocked to Australia. Some videos of Insight, Dateline and World News Australia clips are available to watch internationally.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a known issue with the integration of Twitter within the app. This occurs on devices with OS 5.1 and 5.1.1 installed. On launch, the app will ask for permission to access your Twitter account, if one has been set up via 'Settings' on the device. The message reads: “On Demand” Would Like Access to Twitter Accounts. If ‘Don’t allow’ is selected, the app will not retain this preference, and subsequently the message requesting permission will continue to display each time the app is launched. We’re currently working on a solution for this problem.

In the interim, you can get around this issue by selecting ‘OK’ in response to this message. Following this, navigate to ‘Settings’ on your device’s home screen. Select ‘Twitter’, and then under the heading of ‘Allow,’ turn the ‘On Demand’ setting to ‘Off.’

DATA CONSUMPTION

If you choose to watch videos on the SBS On Demand app over your mobile provider’s network, you should take your data quota into consideration. This is the amount of data that your mobile phone company allows you to download each month at no extra cost. Should you exceed this quota, you may need to pay for extra costs.

Prior to using the SBS On Demand app on a mobile network, SBS recommends that you confirm with your mobile phone provider what your data quota is, as well as what the costs are for exceeding this quota. It is important that you monitor your usage to ensure that you don’t exceed your limit.

Please find below an approximate guide as to how much data could be consumed watching a SBS On Demand video on a mobile provider’s network. This assumes watching over a strong 3G connection, when data consumption is highest, and assumes that no data has been consumed other than via watching the video:

• 60 minute video - up to 675MB of data
• 30 minute video - up to 340MB of data
• 10 minute video - up to 115MB of data
• 5 minute video - up to 50MB of data
