NetFlix has a whole section where you can find new material. Use heading, and
when you find it, begin flipping pages by tapping twice and holding and while
holding your finger on the screen moving left so that last in the row now will
be first on the left. Time consuming and rather frustrating

This is because when you have Voice Over running, a triple tap is the
