I was half way through watching a movie last night but didn't have time to finish, so I added it to my playlist to finish watching today, so I clicked on my playlist to continue watching the movie which was on a mainstream channel and it wants me to pay, how is this possible when it was free to watch.

@Buzza this is probably due to the rights that the TV channel holds for that film they probabley have the rights to broadcast the film but not to stream it hence the reason when trying to play from your playlist it is defaulting to a pay per view app

Also it's possible the film is available on multiple streaming apps, but when you open the film page it will default to Sky Cinema, if the film is available on that platform.
When you open the film on your playlist scroll down to available now, if the film is available on multiple apps you will see additional boxes appear saying Watch Now on X, for each of the services the film is available on.
