Similarly to Melody A.M., songs from The Understanding have been used widely in television adverts and computer games. "Circuit Breaker" and "Only This Moment" were used in an episode of Danmarks Radio's consumer programme, named Rabatten. "Follow My Ruin" was also included on the soundtrack to FIFA 06, the 2005 edition of EA Sports's long-running soccer video game franchise. "What Else Is There?" was used in an O2 television advertisement in the Czech Republic in 2007 and in Slovakia in 2008. It was also used in the 2006 film Cashback and the 2007 film Meet Bill. A remixed version of "What Else Is There?" was featured on an episode of the popular HBO TV series Entourage.
