TV Guide on Sky App

It is very very frustraing that Sky do not include BBC channels on the sky app schedule.  Notwithstanding any issues that Sky may have with the BBC histotically, this should not impact on paying customers.   I am having to use another TV guide app to se all channels. When will these be added?

Nothing to do with 'issues that Sky may have with the BBC histotically': the BBC wants traffic in iPlayer to justify the significant chunk of Licence Fee income which pays for it, and so that they can promote their own content within their own app.  They don't permit Sky to present BBC channels for live viewing in the Go EPG: no owner has any obligation to do so.

No part of a Sky subscription goes to the BBC.

@Rowington  You've postd on the Sky Stream Board, Sky stream is not an app, so your post has been moved to the correct board for Sky Go

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

This is something the BBC don't allow, you need to take it up with them @Rowington

@Rowington 

On the TV Guide if you see "record to Sky" box select this then you will see the BBC channels in the TV Guide.
