SBS’ catch-up TV app, SBS On Demand, received a big update today with the launch of a new app, rebuilt from the ground up.

With a simplified, slick and speedy user interface, the new version of SBS On Demand offers a fast and easy way to find your shows, including SBS’ big new drama import Midnight Sun (starting tomorrow), alongside favorites The Feed, SBS VICELAND, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Brooklyn 99. Alongside the more responsive interface, there is also Chromecast support which makes viewing content On Demand a pleasure.

If you thought the service just offers SBS’ broadcast TV content, think again – SBS often drops full seasons of series alongside some well known (and some not so well known) movies. It’s free to watch, with ads. All you need to do is sign up to SBS or sign in with your Google or Facebook account (the Google account login worked well for us here at Ausdroid). With a catalogue of over 900 movies, 50 series and 200 documentaries the SBS On Demand app, with Chromecast support, is a welcome addition to any media collection.
