To watch a show, click on the show from your tracker, SideReel's homepage or relevant genre pages, or search for the show by title in the search box at the top of the site.

Once on the show page, the most recent episode will be displayed at the top, so you can search right there if that's what you want to watch, or for previous episodes, you can choose from the scrolling episode selector OR the episode guide list below that.

From the episode selector, you can click directly on the search options. from the episode guide, click to open the season and episode you want to watch.

Many shows will have a few official sources listed like for the network sites, Hulu, iTunes, Amazon, etc, but there are also more sources if you click the highlighted "Search Links" button. That link will take you to a search results page.

Because some bad or spam links can be added in with the good, we recommend you stick to the links that take you directly to a page with the video, and avoid the links that require you to pay, download, or fill out any personal information before accessing the video.

I am trying to watch episode 1 season 2 of Smash. It will not let me do so. I am new to side reel, so if you have any suggestions on how to do it I would appreciate it.

I am trying to watch season 2 episode 1 of smash. I have done everything I should have done. I am able to click on the one I want but it just keeps me on the same page, never giving me the option to actually play it. I asked this question before and was lumped in with other questions and did not receive an answer

  Hi Boo Bear--
  
  There are detailed instructions located at the very top of this topic and they include some screenshot helping illustrated the process.
  
  If you are still confused after looking through the top of this topic page, let me know.
  
  Thanks!

  The illustrations on my screen are the same as above. however when I click on the show I want nothing happens. It reloads and just goes back to the area where I am clicking on the episode I want.

  Hi Boo Bear,
  
  Are you located within the U.S. or elsewhere?
  
  If you are in the US, there are several viewing options for the episode:
  
  http://www.sidereel.com/smash/season-...
  
  Located below the episode image and description are links that will take you to places you can view the episode. There is also a Search Links button that, if you click it, will take you to a list of other viewing sources.
  
  If you are outside the US, the viewing sources may be more limited, but again, the Search Links button will take you to a search results page that also has a list of viewing resources.
  
  Hope this helps!

I’m feeling like I need to be educated about this before making any decisions about doing it.

We have a Mac laptop and we have Basic Cable
Is there a way to watch Games of Thrones on our TV through our Mac laptop? If so what will we need to hook the computer up to the TV, and to access the HBO episodes?
Please advise.
