I cannot save any of the BBC channels on my Sky Q box for later viewing, and the watch from start option does not work on these channels as well. I am located in Ireland, does anyone else have the same issues?

@SkyV I think (and i'm sure if I am wrong someone will correct me) but this may be down to the BBC not allowing this rather than Sky

hi @SkyV

As @Laing1 says I think this may be down to the BBC within Ireland - I don;t know about recording etc but the Watch from Start function for BBC uses BBC iPlayer that I don't think is available in Ireland.

I appreciate the answers, however it does not satisfy me because Eastenders on BBC saves sometimes, but no other BBC programmes don't. I find it really frustrating that SKY give no way of contacting them with queries like this other than referring to the community, they are very quick to sign people up, but zero proper customer support thereafter.

Hi @SkyV Apologises for my ignorance, but how do people in Ireland obtain their UK TV Licence? Just curious.

All BBC and ITV channels have been available on the East coast of Irelandfor years, even when we only had analog TV aerials

Irish customers don't need a UK TV licence to watch the BBC in the same way that Northern Irish customers don't need an Irish TV licence to watch RTE.

The BBC and RTE have been available on the other side of the respective borders for many years, and the Good Friday Agreement further guaranteed their availability.
