I have been downloading The Mentalist to my iPad for months now. All of a sudden it is only available to my Sky box. Is this a glitch or have the rights been removed? I watch whilst I'm running in the gym so this is a pain for me. How do you find out whether it is a permanent issue? Thanks.

Its likely a rights issue. The Mentalist is still available on Sky Go ( its showing as being available via U&Alibi) but not all shows that are available on Sky Go are available to download some can only be streamed.

Re: The Mentalist no longer allowing download to iPad.
It could be that the rights have expired so you could email Sky's viewer relation steam to ask them if this is the case - viewerR@sky.uk
Make sure you let them know that this is a Sky Go issue.

Re: The Mentalist no longer allowing download to iPad.
Thanks for your advice, I did contact Viewer Relations and they confirmed that it was a licensing rights issue and The Mentalist can currently only be downloaded to a Sky Box.
