What it does
Means TV offers films, documentaries and original shows through a viewer-funded worker cooperative.
Its editorial and ownership model are part of the choice: Means TV describes itself as a worker-owned, anti-capitalist service without advertising or product placement. The programme combines films and documentaries with original shows and daily news.
The user guide says subscribers can watch worldwide and use compressed mobile downloads for offline viewing. For subtitles beyond English, it directs viewers to the film's international version when available. It also offers a sliding-scale subscription by contacting the service, providing an alternative when the ordinary rate is unaffordable.
Strengths
- The user guide explains offline mobile viewing and an income-sensitive subscription route.
Watch out for
- Additional subtitle languages depend on the film and its available version.
