Missing channels on sky essential package

I downgraded my package to sky essentials and appear to be missing sky Atlantic , Discovery + and Netflix which should be included, any ideas why these aren't present in my channel list?

Unfortunately the £15 product on Sky Q isn't the new 'Essential TV' (Atlantic / Netflix / Discovery+) : it's the long-established 'TV Essentials' which is Free To Air satellite channels without any bundled apps.

Essential TV (announced in December 2024) is an internet-only package available on Sky Glass and Sky Stream: that's how it's so cheap.

The ridiculous choice of names by Sky has confused everyone, including numerous websites and particularly AI generated responses which can't tell the difference.

You need signature for Atlantic.
