Features to get the most from my membership

There are many features available on Acorn TV to help you quickly find shows, discover hidden gems, personalize your viewing experience, and more.

Acorn TV Website

Acorn TV is available on the web at www.acorn.tv. You can make changes to your account, access your Watchlist, see what you've recently watched, check out trailers for upcoming premieres, and more. Acorn TV is optimized for most popular browsers, but we recommend Chrome for the best streaming experience.

Home
In Home, you’ll find a slider showcasing recently added and soon-to-premiere titles, followed by a mix of curated collections in the rows beneath. Navigate right and left across each collection to see more titles. The first collection is your Recently Watched, where you can easily resume shows and movies right where you left off.

Browse

In Browse, you can explore by genre, popularity, curated collections, and more. Select a category to see everything that’s available. From the drop-down menu, you can sort alphabetically or by date added.

Search

Search for specific titles, cast members, or keywords that you’re interested in directly from the search box in the upper navigation of Acorn TV (look for the magnifying glass icon).

Title Page

Select a TV series or film to load the program-specific Title Page, where you’ll find additional information about the program, such as a brief synopsis, trailers and/or clips, and available seasons.

My Acorn TV

My Acorn TV is where you’ll find shows you’ve saved or recently watched, update your login credentials, manage account details, and much more.

• Recently Watched
  Use Recently Watched to quickly find shows you’ve started watching and instantly resume right where you left off, or binge again from the beginning!
  
  • Once you select a show from your Recently Watched list, you’ll see a button prompting you to either start the next episode in the series or resume the last episode you started watching if you haven’t yet finished.
    
  • You can also see exactly where you left off on an episode by viewing the red bar under the video thumbnail on the show’s title page.

• Watchlist
  Use My Watchlist to create a personalized collection of all the shows and films you want to watch on Acorn TV. It’s a great place to keep track of everything that piques your interest, so you can skip the browsing and jump right into your next show.
  • To add a title to your Watchlist, select the Add to Watchlist button on the series page. If a title is already in your Watchlist, you’ll see a Remove from Watchlist button (instead of Add). Titles will remain on your Watchlist until you remove them or they’re no longer available.
  • Your Watchlist is available on the Acorn TV website and on your Acorn TV app across any connected devices. To navigate to your Watchlist, go to My Acorn TV while logged in to your Acorn TV account and select My Watchlist or click here: My Watchlist.

Closed Captions
Acorn TV is pleased to offer closed captioning (and subtitles) on many TV series and films. For more information, see: Does Acorn TV offer closed captions?

Resume Watching
Can’t remember where you left off? Pause a program on one device and instantly pick up where you left off on another device — it’s that simple!

Autoplay
If you like to watch more than one episode of a show in a sitting, then you’ll enjoy this feature! Autoplay automatically plays the next available episode when the episode you're watching is ending.

Apple & Android Apps
With the Acorn TV app for your phone or tablet, you'll have access to world-class TV at your fingertips, anywhere you go. For more information, see: Where can I download the Acorn TV app?[SJ2]

Premiere Schedule
Check the Premiere Schedule for a comprehensive list of upcoming premiere dates, or visit the Schedule tab to view by Recently Added, Coming Soon, and Leaving Soon. From there, you can also view trailers and show descriptions for an in-depth look at what’s coming soon to Acorn TV.
