Continue watching sky glass

Sky please if you ever update sky glass please find a way to remove shows or movies from continue watching. I have shows I have finished but won't disappear from continue watching. There needs to be an easier way to remove these please find it.

I agree. It's a function that has been requested often. Hopefully Sky will consider it in due course.

Hi @Sharon+M50 I fully agree and have mentioned it on the forum a number of times.  Whilst Sky are aware that it would be a good feature unfortunately it is not at the top of their priority list but who knows, i'm keeping fingers crossed for the future.

I posted this on another thread a couple of days ago so have done a cut and paste.    The following is a document I made for myself as a reminder on how to remove (or at least try) unwanted or watched programmes that don't disappear of their own accord.  I made it a couple of years ago so it might be a bit out of date but hopefully it will help.   Having said that I still sometimes have problems. 

TBH this issue is the main cause of my frustration with the streaming platform. A simple delete function similar to Apple TV would be a great feature.

The most common method which generally works with Sky, Discovery, ITVX  and Disney is to select the programme from the CW rail and fast forward it to the end.  If it is a series then also run the last episode of the series to the end otherwise the next episode will appear in the CW rail.  Sometimes I have had to run through all episodes of entire series.

Depending on the App you watched from there are so many different ways to remove programmes from CW. Some you have to do on your TV and others on your Laptop etc.

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)

My5 - Go to settings and select Clear Watch History

Do on laptop:

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

Ch4 / CW - go to My4 > / edit / select then remove

Paramount - Hover over programme and untick  

Prime - Go to CW rail and hover over programme for another menu select 3 dots & then hide (you can’t actually  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.

Good luck, I hope this helps.

Even on Sky+HD there's no way to remove anything from the Continue Tab. It seems to be the way Sky like it.
