Sky Q. They only called me 3 weeks ago to say it was on there! Now they've taken it off. Don't make any sense

That would have been correct at the time. Why it's gone has not been divulged: that could be the choice of either Sky or Roku themselves.

You could get a roku express or stick to still watch the Roku stuff through their Roku app directly

Xumo Play is viewable in the Sky Q XML file which can be accessed via your browser and lists the apps currently on the platform aswell as those that are being tested....

Maybe wouldn't want both on the platform

@Timelord2018

Comcast being a joint partner in Xumo might be a factor; )

I know LG Channels in the UK and a few countries are actually powered by Xumo, they are adding 9 'FAST channels from NBC Universal soon
