What we changed, and why.
Written by the people who changed it. Short, specific, and honest about
what was broken before.

Until this week, somebody who came to us for Polish television landed on
an English page and was asked, in English, to tick which countries they
wanted. They had already answered that question — by clicking a link that
said Poland on it.
So the question is gone, and the address answers it instead.
mlselabs.com/pl opens in Polish with the Polish
channels. /pl+usa opens in Polish with both
countries' channels, which is what most Polish households in the States
actually want. /do+usa does the same in Spanish.
Combinations work the way they read, and the first country picks the
language — so the same two countries can be sold in Polish or in English
depending which link we send.
While we were in there we found something worse than a clumsy form.
The Polish package had been shipping without Polish
television: TVP 1, TVP 2, TVN, Polsat, TVP Sport and Eleven all
sit on a shelf our supplier keeps separate, and we had never included it.
Customers were getting the small cable channels and none of the ones they
would have named. That is fixed, and it is the kind of thing we would
rather tell you about than quietly correct.

Favourites used to belong to a television. Replace the stick, add a set
in the bedroom, or reset the one in the front room, and you started
again — which is a small thing that feels like a large one when it is
eighty channels you had put in order.
They now belong to your email. Favourites, saved films, watch history
and profiles are kept against the account, so a new television signs in
and arrives already yours.
Two things came out of doing it properly. Households with more than one
line had lists that had quietly diverged; they are merged now rather than
one overwriting another. And you can see the whole of it on the web —
your account page shows what you have saved,
what you have been watching and when each subscription runs to.
How it works28 August 2026
The ordinary way to watch a big fight is to pay for the month, then pay
again for the card. We do not do the second part. Pay-per-view events are
in the subscription, on every plan, including the cheapest one.
What took the work was not carrying them — it was finding them. A fight
feed appears under a name that is not the fighters' names, sometimes an
hour before the walk-out, sometimes on a channel numbered like a spare.
So the app now keeps a fight card of its own: who is on, what time, and
the feed that is actually carrying it when the time comes.
It means the night of a big card looks like the rest of the service —
you turn the television on and it is there, rather than you hunting a
list of four hundred channels with ten minutes to go.
