Stream apps

It would be very useful to

a) be able to hide/remove apps you have no interest in/need for

b) move the apps section to the top of the home page

c) if I sign in to an app on on puck it should sign in to the app on all pucks

I agree however it's unlikely to happen.

Presumably Sky has a financially beneficial relationship with the various app owners, so that's unlikely.

Sky has historically never permitted that kind of user interface customisation.

That may be a limitation of the individual apps rather than the Sky platform, but remember the pucks don't talk to each other directly anyway.

Yes I'm aware of that, just thought the settings may be saved on Sky server.

I'm not sure which app it is but I'm sure I remember something being said about a one sign in on all boxes. I could be wrong though.

I'd imagine the app owners would both need to consent to that (keeping in mind potential Data Protection issues) and design it into their own software.

Realistically there's a significant power imbalance here: operating only in a handful of European countries Sky Group is a relative minnow compared to the global streamers.
