Where are the box sets on sky stream?

Sorry if this has been asked before. I am new this week to the sky stream puck. I have the 'ultimate' package. I've triple checked in various places on the website and the 'stream' and 'ultimate' are advertised in plenty of places on here as having 500+ box sets. But I can't find them anywhere?

When you go on 'Tv shows' it just shows examples from all the other apps i.e netflix tv shows, prime ones, bbc ones - other apps I'm signed into. Where is the full actual Sky library? I had Sky before via Playstation 5, and you'd be able to go through a library of Sky's movies and a library of Sky's box sets, but this stream thing is basically free view with a 'one place' log in to all my other apps like itv, bbc, prime etc. No contributions from Sky themselves?!

Wondering why I'm paying for this when I already have all these other apps, my tv gives me one place to log into them all and freeview is free....

Edit - some forums say it's called 'on demand' but I don't have this option anywhere

@nwednesday On Glass/Stream you can see On demand conent a number of ways, for BBC use iplayer, for ITV, Ch4, CH5 etc use their own apps.

For Sky content they should appear undet TV Shows, Movies, Sport etc. These shhould shopw above the TV Guide rail. Also worth reading this https://www.sky.com/help/home/sky-tv/sky-tv-stream/using-sky-stream/using-sky-glass-playlist/articles/your-playlist-and-tv-guide-sky-glass

The entire menu is the on demand section really, it's weaved throughout.

On the TV Shows section you can scroll down and there'll be icons for each of the Sky channels and you can see their libraries in there.

Or you can say something like "Sky Atlantic shows" into the voice remote or "comedy movies" etc.

There isn't a way to view all "box sets" on the streaming platform, the UI has been designed in a way for users to be able to search or filter by Genres or by broadcaster.

As mentioned if you go to the TV Shows option or do a voice search for TV Shows, you can scroll down the page and you will find a rail called Genres where by you can select a genre and it will recommend/showcase content from a bunch of providers. If you scroll further down the TV shows page you will find a rail called Sky Channels, which allows you to filter the shows based on the Sky channel they are broadcast on, and there is also a Channels rail for non-Sky branded channels.

The difference between "box sets/on-demand" on the legacy satelliete hardware and the streaming platform is that on the streaming platform everything that is available on supported apps is available to watch on-demand, whereas on systems like Sky + content from all the various broadcasters had to be manually uploaded to Sky's servers so the on-demand content was more limited and only what was made available.

Voice searching is my preferred method of finding content. You can voice search for a particular show, an actor, a genre and it will return a bunch of content.
