How do I subscribe? 

Before access to Fuel Digital’s content, you’ll be asked to subscribe to our database. This is a standard set up where we take your name, email and preferences. You can unsubscribe at any time.  

How do I pay for a show?

How do you use my data? 

Fuel’s privacy policy can be found on our website here. 

How long do I have access to my content for? 

This will change depending on the type of content you are viewing and will always be stated at the point of registration.

Which web browsers should I use to watch Fuel Digital? 

In order to watch the show, we recommend your device complies with the following 

minimum system requirements:   

  • Google Chrome (version 35 onwards) 
  • Safari (from version 9.1 onwards) on Mac OS X 10.11 and above (El Capitan) 
  • Mozilla Firefox (version 47 onwards) 
  • Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 

Please note; Internet Explorer is not a supported browser, so if you try to play the show using it, you’re likely to run into technical problems that are not easy to resolve.  

 

We recommend a sustained broadband internet connection in order to ensure the stream you are watching is smooth and of the best quality with no buffering. 

What device should I use to watch content? 

We recommend that you watch the show on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or phone. 

Can I watch content through my TV? 

It depends on the type of TV you have and if you’re able to access the internet directly through your television, or via a cable or casting device. 

If you have a Smart TV, you may be able to use its built-in internet browser to watch.   

If you don’t have a Smart TV (i.e.. one connected to the internet), then you will need an external device such as a Chromecast to watch the show on your TV.
Please note: streams are not always created for display on a very large screen, so you might notice the HD quality is slightly reduced if watching in this way. 

I’m struggling to register an account on Fuel Digital. What should I do? 

 You may be struggling to register an account because an ad or pop-up blocker in the settings on the device you are using is preventing you from moving forward. If you can locate the blocker, please try turning it off temporarily before attempting to register again, or use a different browser and see if you can register there. You can also email [email protected] and a friendly member of the Fuel team will endeavour to get back to you asap. 

Will content be available with Audio Description? 

Yes, each presentation will be available with Audio Description. Audiences watching with Audio Description will be able to hear additional descriptions of any body language, expressions, movement or sound effects and other audio elements that are integral to the show. 

Will content be available with Captions? 

Yes, each show will be available with Captions in English. If you would like to watch the show with Captions, you can do so by toggling on the CC button at the bottom right corner of the media player on the streaming page. 

Are free tickets available for schools or other organisations via Fuel’s Community Ticket Scheme?
