Watching on a desktop or laptop

Now you’ve set up your account, you can visit the Marquee TV website to choose the film you want to enjoy. If you can’t see the film listed here, please check our release schedule by clicking HERE. You can watch on your Desktop Computer, Smart TV, Smart Phone or Tablet.

If you're using your home computer, a desktop or laptop, we recommend you make the films full size, so they fit the computer screen. On the film you want to watch, first press the triangle 'play' button in the middle of the screen. The film should start playing. Now, at the bottom right hand of the screen there are two small arrows pointing away from each other, click these and the film will fit to you screen, see the image below for reference.

Watching on a Smart Phone, Smart TV or Tablet

If you’re using a Smart Phone, Smart TV or Tablet, you may benefit from using the Marquee TV app – but you don’t need the app if you’re watching on your Desktop Computer. Download the app here:

Download the app for Apple devices: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/marquee-tv-arts-on-demand/id1255573295

Download the app for Android devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marquee.mobile&hl=en_US

The Marquee TV app supports screen casting. If you have a Chromecast, Apple TV, FireTV, or another casting device. Please follow the instructions specific to your device.

If you're watching on from your laptop and want to view it on your TV, it may be possible. You just need to see if your TV can receive a signal from your laptop and then source the appropriate cable. All TV's and laptops have slight differences here so we recommend you check the manual of your device.
