Identify the end-of-programme card
SBS calls the recommendation Try This Next. It appears at the end of a film or episode and reduces the credits to make room. Check whether the size change happens at that point and whether another programme is being offered beside the credits.
That pattern is different from a picture cropped throughout the entire film. If the main feature fitted normally and only the credits became small, begin with the recommendation controls. Changing the television’s aspect ratio can affect the whole picture while leaving the actual end-card behaviour unresolved.
Return focus to the credits
On the website, SBS says clicking the credits enlarges them; on its mobile apps, tapping the credits does the same. For its listed smart-TV and streaming-device interfaces, Play is initially highlighted. Move right until Keep Watching highlights the credits, then confirm with OK.
Watch the focus label rather than counting presses without looking. SBS’s example uses two or three right presses, but the meaningful target is Keep Watching on the credits. Confirm the enlarged picture before making another selection, particularly when using a remote whose repeat speed can move focus more than once.
Use autoplay settings for a different result
Enlarging the credits is an immediate choice for the programme you are finishing. SBS also documents an autoplay preference controlling whether the next episode starts after its prompt. If your goal is to prevent automatic continuation in future sessions, inspect that separate setting on the device being used.
For example, wanting to read a translator’s credit calls for keeping the current credits visible; wanting a series to stop between episodes calls for reviewing autoplay. Both occur near the ending, but they are distinct decisions. If the current app does not match SBS’s pictured controls, note the platform and whether the visible card is a recommendation or a next-episode prompt before asking support for the relevant route.
