Discussion topic: Adding Movies from mainstream channels to Playlist causes them to be added from Sky Store.

This has happened on a number of occasions. The worst is when you have watched half the movie live on a mainstream channel then added it to playlist to finish watching later. When you return the movie stored is the Sky Store version requiring payment. Also I have just added a movie that will be shown next Thursday on Ch4. In Playlist it has added the Sky Store version.

@Beegee99 This is because the broadcaster has only paid for "as live " rights and not paid for on demand rights

so if you add something to the playlist to continue watching it will take you to the service that has the on demand rights

On the playlist programme tile, scroll down from the top and you should see an available now option that shows the cloud recording and/or app link for the channel/app you want/expected to view it via.

Thank you for your reply. The only version in Available Now is the Sky Store version. I will have to wait to see if it is streamed again to finish watching.
