Add to my TV section - Netflix and Prime

I can see that Netflix content is still not showing up in the search results (although Prime is). 

However I can see that you also cant add Prime shows to the My Tv section / watchlist. 

I don’t expect this to ever happen for Netflix but surely we should be able to add prime shows to our My Tv watchlist section ?

  • Definitely one of the downfalls as it would be very useful to add netflix shows and prime shows 
  • Hopefully an update coming

Re: Add to my TV section - Netflix and Prime

Unfortunately YouView is not enabling this to occur. Whether this is due to Youview , the respective app developers or an absence of the necessary data is unclear as no one appears able to give a update on the issues. 

Youview documentation  indicate how the Watch list can be added to.

https://support.youview.com/youview-box/on-demand-players-apps/how-do-i-add-content-to-my-watch-list...

So it should be that if the Youview universal search returns results for on demand then pressing i or Ok should give the option to  1 Watch on Demand 2 Add to My Tv  or 3 Search?

Unfortunately for Amazon Prime Video content that is returned by the Youview universal search results the “Add to My Tv” option is not given. This is surprising as if the Youview universal search results enables the Prime video player to launch and play the content at that point in time then why can’t the relevant data be stored in the watchlist in My Tv to view at a later time.

For NETFLIX their results have not been available by the YouView universal search for a few years now (They used to be available and initially we were informed that they would be restored but that hasn’t occured. So if the universal search results aren’t there for NETFLIX they cannot be added to the Watchlist.)

I would welcome any clarificatiom as to what improvements we can expect going forward from Youview and EETV in the Universal search and My TV Watchlists.
