Stop the next episode starting
Watch one episode and have the television wait for you.
When an episode ends, most services start the next one a few seconds later. That is a setting, not a fact of life.
Turned off, the credits run and the screen waits.
Key points
- Services start the next episode themselves unless you tell them not to
- The switch is under Playback, in the service’s own settings
What to remember
- The switch is autoplay, and it lives under Playback.
- Autoplay is a switch, and it is yours to set.
Try this
Open the settings of a service you watch and look for Playback. Turn off the next-episode switch.
