Hi @JBP3

There are only the 4 QVC channels on sky stream. These can be added as per other favourite channels.

Whi h sky service do you have?

Essential. With Sky Stream. How do I add the shopping channels to favourites? I can only see limited channels rather than the full channel list. Thanks for your reply.

Thank you for your reply. We have Sky essentials via the puck. We cannot, so far, incorporate the shopping channels into our favourists list.

Hi @JBP3

Your repeating yourself without expanding on what you are trying to do. There are only 4 shopping channels on Sky Stream (irrelevant of the subscription level you have) these are the QVC channels. For the channel line up see: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/tv-channel-list-sky-glass

You can add these 4 channels to your favourites the same way as adding any channel to favourites. See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/using-favourites-on-sky-q

(While the link says Q it covers stream and glass too).

If you mean can you add any other channels, the answer is no. Only the QVC channels 'broadcast' on Stream and Glass platform.

Thank you for your patience. I have had Sky for only a few days so am not at all familiar with the favourites process. When I get to 'choose your favourite channels', there are only 7 categories, starting with 'tv shows' .

This does not include any QVC channels. Clearly I am doing this the wrong way. Any advice appreciated, perhaps to access the full channel list and selecting favourites from there .

Hi @JBP3

As there are only a handful of channels there isn't a category of their own like with Q. When you add them (or view them) in the guide you need to scroll down to the 600 range where they live.

Hope you get sorted.

@JBP3 Hi, I presume you are meaning channels such as QVC etc?

if that is what you mean it is just the same as adding any other channels, select the channel and press the + key with the red ring around it, to the left of the volume button then select the Playlist you want and press the centre button. I hope that help.

@JBP3 you asked this question ( and it was answered already) on this thread: https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Stream/Shopping-Channels-on-Sky-Essentials/m-p/5173493#M65892.

You won't get any different responses to what has already been provided.

I too have the same issue on the Sky stream puck. It appears the advice being give in this post is from someone not actually use a puck and compare eggs with melons.

I have tried to see if I can add QVC and it is not listed in the categories of channels offered. Therefore I think this is a bug in that many unpopular (perhaps not to us but to sky) channels are missed.
