Playing TV and video on your hudl2

The blinkbox Movies app can be found on the hudl2’s home screen and offers a range
of TV and movies. See page 21 for details.

The YouTube app is pre-installed on your hudl2, so as long as you have a Wi-Fi
connection, you can watch online videos and TV programmes.

BBC iPlayer * and other catch-up TV services each have free apps allowing you to
watch TV programmes on your hudl2.

The HDMI connection at the base of your hudl2 allows you to connect it to an HDMI
TV (cable not included) so you can enjoy your downloaded shows on an even larger
screen.

* You may need to install BBC media player in order to use the BBC iPlayer.
