Classic Coronation no longer available on catch up

Bizzybee — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:30:05 GMT

For years I have downleaded Classic Coronation Street to my tablet as its an easy watch when I suffer with insomnia sometimes.

Since end of Jan its not available anywhere not even ITVX.

I do record it and it used to give an option to download to tablet but thats no longer available and if I wake up in the middle of the night it won't play recordings and I get a message saying unable to connect to Sky Box presumably because its switched off.

Is anyone from Sky able to advise on this? I'd be really grateful 🙂

It looks like the last episode available on catch-up is from New Years Eve 2007 so it may be that ITV can't/won't make episodes from 2008 available on Sky catch up. However they seem to be on ITVX: https://www.itv.com/watch/classic-coronation-street/2a8013/1a0694a6722

hi @Bizzybee

I am guessing you have SKY Q

The boxes go into deep sleep overnight if the Standby Mode setting is ECO, so worthwhile trying changing to 'None' (on both main & mini)

Home - Settings - Setup - Preferences

Thank you so much for that. It is SkyQ and I have followed your instructions.

Still annoying can't download without adverts but so grateful to have my sleep aid back. I really should break the habit but for now it works 😀

Thank you for that. I should have known what series was currently on and I would have seen the episodes were up do date 🫣. When I was going through some of the years there were just some random episodes so I assumed they had stopped adding them daily.
