No delete button for continue watching

Fothergill1 — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:44:09 GMT

Other than the occasional software glitch my biggest complaint and frustration with the Streaming platform (both Glass & Stream) is the lack of a delete function to remove unwanted programmes from the Continue Watching rail.

Over the 3 years I have had stream I have found various ways to remove programmes (I have posted a list many times) but some stubbornly remain. I appreciate that Netflix and Apple TV use different technology but they make it so easy to remove from CW so why can’t Sky come up with a similar solution, after all we are able to delete programmes that get stuck in the playlist using the Manage All option?

I would be interested to see if others also have an issue with this and if so I can make the relevant suggestion to Sky via the Superusers platform. Maybe most people don’t see it as a problem but I certainly find it very frustrating.

100000% this.

My biggest bug is trying to get rid of ITV X shows from the rail. Sometimes I can't even get your lovely workaround @Fothergill1 to work for ITV X and just have to wait for about a one for it to eventually disappear.

Agree with this .......

also annoying that prime shows still can't be displayed on the CW rail

would also like another rail for favourite shows where I could pin say 5 or 10 shows I'm currently watching (kind of like favourite channels) with the ability to unpin

this would get over the prime on CW rail issue

@Jporch316 I guessed as much as I don't get Disney+ on the CW rail either.

I absolutely agree with this. If you're not quick enough on the back button some random programme which you wouldn't watch in a million years starts up and then appears on continue watching. Also programmes that you might not want to watch once you've seen one episode. Being able to remove programmes here as easily as you can on the Paylist would be really lovely.
