I thought all catch-up and apps like iPlayer, ITVX, RTÉ Player, etc. were all requiring the basic subscription?

With Sky Q, the Sky TV Essentials gives access to free-to-air channels* allows access to rewind and pause live TV as well as access to catch-up and apps. Am I right?

(* includes RTÉ One, RTÉ One +1, RTÉ2, RTÉ2 +1, RTÉjr, TG4 and Cúla4 in Ireland and Northern Ireland, and also RTÉ News, Virgin Media One, Virgin Media One +1, Virgin Media Two, Virgin Media Three, Virgin Media Four and Oireachtas TV in Ireland)
