Some evenings you don’t want to choose. That is what movie channels are for: switch on, and a film is already playing. The Moa Tv movie group brings together premium film networks and themed channels, most of them in Full HD.
Kinds of movie channel
Premium film networks show recent releases and well-known titles, usually several times across a week, so a film you miss on Friday often comes round again. Genre channels stay with one kind of story all day, whether that is action, comedy, romance, thrillers, horror or family films. Classic channels play the older films that never quite go away. Channels in other languages are found in world channels, grouped by country.
Planning a film night with the guide
Open the TV guide and scroll through the evening on the movie group to see what starts when. In TiviMate Premium you can:
- set a reminder, so the app tells you when the film begins;
- record it, if it starts at an awkward time;
- use catch-up on supported channels when you tune in after the opening scene. The catch-up page has the details.
Movie channels or the film library?
You get both with every plan, and they suit different moods.
- Pick a movie channel when you want to browse, put something on in the background or let someone else’s schedule decide.
- Pick the film library when you have a particular title in mind, want to pause for a break or need to stop halfway and finish tomorrow.
A picture worth sitting down for
Films are usually made at 24 frames a second, while TVs often run at 50 or 60. TiviMate’s auto frame rate setting switches the TV to match, which removes the slight judder you might notice in slow camera pans. Add a steady connection, roughly 20 Mbps for Full HD and 35 Mbps for 4K, and the picture will hold up on a big screen.
Movie channel questions
Can I pause a film on a movie channel?
On channels with catch-up you can go back and play the film from the archive, with pause and rewind. On others, record it in TiviMate Premium or look for it in the film library.
Are films shown in their original language?
Many are, especially on world channels. Subtitles and dubbing depend on the broadcaster, not on Moa Tv.
Can I keep some movie channels away from children?
Yes. TiviMate’s parental controls put any channel or whole group behind a PIN; see the kids page.
