@DG28

If you have Sky Q it is on 182.

I have Skystream but have no channel 182/190 available on the guide when I try to get it

Rewind TV is one of the various channels unavailable on Sky Stream/Glass.

Well that's down to broadcaster not wanting to pay Sky the carriage fees🤔

No reason why not. Is on Q, so why not stream? If Sky want more people on stream, they need to increase channels to match and make better?

It appears that Rewind TV may not share your logic!

@Super+Anthony Sky Q has a regulated (by Ofcom) EPG so if a channel broadcasts from satellite at 28e they must be added to the EPG, stream is not satellite (it's a closed system) and therefore channels can only be added to the EPG if the actually exist on stream.

Sky cannot unilaterally add a channel to stream doing so may put them in brach of many Broadcasting, legal & copyright laws.

Many of the smaller channels in Satellite may feel there isn't any justification in the extra expense of stream for a significantly smaller audience to be worth it.

Because they are willing to pay fees to be on DSat but not on Sky Stream😉

Ask the broadcaster why🤔

A reason could be they are locked into an ASTRA contract ... and money is too tight to pay for Stream🤣

Virgin have put all of their channels from their cable service on to their steam box, including all the + 1 channels, talking pictures etc, that's tv 1,2 and 3. It's possible, I suspect that this has more to do with Sky than the broadcasters, why would any broadcaster not want to be on a platform ? I would like to see the following channels/apps on steam.

1. That's tv 1, 2 and 3

2. Talking Pictures TV

3. Rewind Tv

4. Pluto App

5. Ratuken App

Additional cost? Many ofthese smaller channels are not made of money and need to weigh up the benefits of the extra against minimal viewers.

The delivery requirements between the services are very different😉

@Exiled-in-HH Please explain. I understand that Virgin Stream is a closed system which is only available to their broadband customers. It is still a streaming service though. Can you please explain what you mean by delivery requirements, and how that changes what channels they carry? Cheers

@GD1 I accept that. My point though is that if these smaller channels are all broadcasting on a competitors service, how is this ? Why is this ? Is it because VM are offering improved carriage terms ?

I think you already know the answer, but you'll be aware no one outside Sky or VM will have the details and all will be under NDA as commercially sensitive information.
