Documentaries reward a big screen and a quiet evening. The Moa Tv library holds documentary films and series you can start at any moment, while the scheduled factual channels live in the entertainment group.
Subjects in the library
| Subject | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Wildlife and nature | Landscapes and animal behaviour, often filmed in remarkable detail |
| History | From ancient civilisations to twentieth-century conflict |
| Science and space | Big ideas explained clearly, from physics to planets |
| Sport | The stories behind famous teams, athletes and rivalries |
| Travel and culture | Places, food and the people who live there |
| True crime | Investigations and real cases, best kept for adult viewers |
Four kinds of documentary evening
Wildlife series are a good choice for a family weekend afternoon, because they hold everyone’s attention without any arguments over the remote. Sport documentaries fill the gap between seasons for fans who miss the real thing. History and science titles suit curious minds who like to learn something before bed. True crime is gripping, but if younger children share the TV, lock it away with a PIN; the kids page shows how.
Seeing nature films at their best
Nature documentaries are where picture quality shows most. If a title is offered in 4K, watch it on a 4K TV through a 4K-capable streaming device, connected to a fast HDMI port, with a steady connection of about 35 Mbps. The 4K page runs through each piece, and our article on Moa Tv data use shows how much a long 4K series consumes if your broadband has a cap.
Scheduled or on demand?
Factual channels air series and specials at set times, which is a nice way to stumble across something new. The library is the better option when you want to begin a series at episode one and follow it at your own pace. Both are part of every plan.
Documentary questions
Are documentaries included in every Moa Tv plan?
Yes. The whole on-demand library comes with every plan.
Do documentaries have subtitles?
Some do. When a title includes subtitles, choose them from the player’s subtitle menu while it plays.
Can I save a documentary to watch later?
Add it to your favourites so it’s easy to find again. On-demand titles stream rather than download, so you’ll need a connection when you play it.
