Cannot find Survivor USA

FidgityDigits — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 20:44:09 GMT

Was led to believe by Sky online advertising that, by purchasing a Sky puck and Sky Stream subscription, I could watch all 40 seasons of Survivor USA. Very disappointed to find it's not available. I feel like I have been misled. Anyone else experience this?

@FidgityDigits according to Google, it's on Paramount+.

If you have Sky Cinema you get Paramount+ for free, you just need to open the app and follow the on screen instructions to create and link and account.

Yes, that's why I'm a bit **bleep**y about it. I have been trying for months to figure out how to access the (vastly inferior to the Australian version) US survivor, and when it displayed itself with all 40 seasons available, on the Sky page, I thought I would take the gamble of purchasing a Sky puck (not what I call it now :(... for£20 plus £26 for first month only to find out I could have saved a lot of time and money by not bothering at all.....

@FidgityDigits where did you purchase a Sky Puck from?

Do you have a link to the Sky page?

That one episode (S40 Ep15) is the only one available to Download on my Sky+HD box too. It doesn't say that all 40 Seasons are available, although I can see how it might be read that way.

That said, it's the BBC, not Sky, who are responsible for providing the content.

Is it not available on iPlayer?

Currently season 1 is available on iPlayer, where did you read all 40 seasons would be available on iPlayer?

Sky Stream is not required to access iPlayer🤔

I wonder if BBC had a selection of USA Survivor episodes on IPlayer as part of them relaunching the UK version of the show last September.

That's exactly what happened.

The UK version was a bit of a disaster ratings wise, but it was re-commissioned for a second series which may actually have already been shot, for broadcast later this year.

The BBC may put up more seasons of the US version on iPlayer to help promote it nearer the time, but I doubt they'd do all 40.

I'd suggest one episode being listed, or even one season, certainly doesn't count as 'advertising' that thirty-nine other seasons are also available.

If your Stream contract is less than a month old, you can simply reject it for a refund.
