Sky Showcase - no F1 highlights?

[NEITG]

Just selected the F1 highlights due to start at 8:30 on SkyShowcase this morning, only to get some show about monkeys.

pressing okay and reselecting the show gives a message about upgrading. What gives? The Showcase highlights shows have always been available previously.

Same here I'm trying to watch on Sky go on my phone, I watched GP quality on yesterday, but today sky showcase is showing Monkey life instead of the f1 sprint shootout as advertised.

@NEITG I think the issue might be it doesn't say Qualifying Hlts. It says Azerbaijan F1 GP Qualifying 

The upgrade message is to do with watch from start it downloads the Sky Sports F1 Qualifying session 

If you go to channel 206 even though Monkey Life is showing watch from start will pop up if you press the select button

If you don't subscribe to F1 the upgrade message will appear.

Channel 4 Qualifying Highlights @ 7:50pm today

Sky Showcase HD Azerbaijan F1 Sprint Hlts @5:00pm tonight 

Sorry don't have Glass or Stream but it's the same on Sky Q as well

I thought the whole point of showcase was that people without subs to certain channels could watch the program

@NEITG  It is, but has showcase showcases programming across the whole of the sky network, sky reserve the right to change the line up as they choose 

there is no guarantee that every program within a series or live event will be broadcast

It's typical Sky trying to make you subscribe to Sky Sport they can sod off

I agree. I can actually watch it on Showcase on my virgin media subscription. I don't have sky sports in my VM subscription either but I can watch it there! 

I'm in my trial period with Sky TV, thinking about changing from VM. Might have to think again.
