How can we get the E4 app
You can get catch up TV but not the app to get box sets. It's a standard tv channel so I am confused why it's not available. My5 is not there either?

Re: How can we get the E4 app
E4 doesn't have an app. All content from Channel 4's spin-off channels comes via the All4 app which is not available on Sky Q but is usually on most modern smart TVs.
Many E4 shows are often available via catch up or on demand on Sky Q if you search for them, they just might not be labelled as box sets.

Re: How can we get the E4 app
Commercial channels have ad-funded apps, with unskippable ads. They want to retain that model to maximise their revenues, and so if you want ITV Hub, All4 or My5, you need to use their apps via phone, tablet, laptop or smart TV.

Re: How can we get the E4 app
As @Rhonny and @fizzdisco indicate, channels and other content providers can choose the platforms on which their apps are available: it's not within the remit of Sky just to add them. There's also the associated issue of negotiating a revenue split to cover the extra support cost to Sky once an app is available on their hardware.
