How do I see what's on TV now, and set a reminder?
Open the "What's on" shortcut on Home to see what is live, starting soon or on tonight, sorted by genre, and set a reminder.
Nipo doesn’t provide, sell or host any channel, movie or playlist: it plays what you already own.
"What's on" gathers in one place what's worth watching right now or very soon.
Premium feature (Nipo Premium or Family), already in the app. Searching for a programme stays free from Search, no Premium needed.

Tip
A reminder shows a banner 5 minutes before the start, but only while the app is open: it doesn't wake the device or send a background notification. For live sport, the "What's on" section separates matches already in progress from ones coming up.
