Continue Watching - How To Delete

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Switched from Sky Q to Sky Stream a few months ago and after getting used to the differences I think it's a very good product from Sky and the picture quality is great.

I've read through some other posts with people having problems removing programmes from the continue watching (CW) rail but I have a slightly different problem.

I've got a couple of programmes in the CW rail that I can't get rid of because I don't subscribe to the channel and therefore can't fast forward through these programmes to remove them. 

These programmes I have watched on another channel for but some reason their showing in the CW rail for a different channel (Discovery +).

Will these disappear on their own after x amount of time or anyone know of a workaround to remove them?

Any ideas most welcome 😀

Many thanks

 Deleting unwanted items from the CW rail is my pet hate with Glass / Stream. 

If you have tried all the usual methods without success the only hope I can offer you is that they will slowly move to the end of the CW rail and eventually drop off the end if you have more than 20 programmes in the rail.  Unfortunately I found they reappeared again when the rail dropped below 20 and then all of us sudden they stopped reappearing.

For my own interest I made a list to remind me of the general ways to remove as I kept forgetting which method worked with which App.  I have posted it before so you might have seen it during your research but in case you haven't I will post it again below. 

Do on Glass TV:

Apple TV - select from Up Next list with a LONG press / remove

Netflix - Select from CW / remove from CW on next page

Sky, Discovery +, ITVX & Disney - run programme to credits and allow to run to the end.  If a series do the same with the final episode of the series.  (It may take a while to disappear)

Do on laptop:

BBC iPlayer  - CW / Manage full list (on right of screen) / remove

All 4 - My4 / CW - go to My4 > / edit / select then remove

Paramount  - CW / edit (right of screen) / delete

Sometimes it can take a while for the programme to disappear and on other occasions they stubbornly remain. It's a bit of a lottery.
