No Talking Pictures movie channel

This means I may have to cancel the trial if its only Sky movies available. When I click on movies as a Channel Super list no list is displayed just lots of box sets and other Sky products.

Talking Pictures is not currently distributed on the Glass/Stream platform.

It would be up to the channel owners to decide if they wish to be present in the channel line-up: given that TP is quite famously three people in a garden shed, they may not have the resources to do so.

That's the point of the trial - to work out if the channels which are available and the level of service offered suits your viewing style. It does for some people and doesn't for others.

Hi @RoyGustine , Although Talking Pictures is not available on Stream, other non Sky movie channels are available,

if you go to the home page, scroll down to the "TV Guide" and select, then press left button (left of circle) you will have a list of Genres, just scroll down to movies and select, and you will get a list of all movie channels broadcasting on stream, including Film 4, and the 'Great' range of channels, which have only recently been added to the stream service.

 

Only my opinion as usual, hope it helps.

Re: No Talking Pictures movie channel

Thinking about cancelling as still as have 3 weeks to go on trial period. Talking Pictures is a unique channel. I don't consider it worthwhile to criticise it.

Yes it is nice to see the Great channels there.

Re: No Talking Pictures movie channel

On the contrary buying a whole new box for Freeview is a big hassle. I only have limited space and the new DVD player I had to purchase (the old one wasn't compatible) is taking some of it up.

@RoyGustine @Maybe you should have checked the channels available on Glass/Stream then before you purchased if one channel is so important to be honest, I certainly would have done

Why would you need to buy a new box @RoyGustine?

 

If you have the 1 month trial you must have a Sky Stream puck, which in turn must be plugged into an existing TV? Does the TV not have Freeview for you to access Talking Pictures on channel 82?

I don't have an aerial into my Sky Glass as the idea was for no leads.
