Why are there no BBC Channels listed on Sky Go?

[Ray+Jennings]

There's lots of recommendations to select 'Record to Sky Box' in order to watch BBC programmes on Sky Go but I don't want to record to my Sky box, I just want to watch in real time and if I did want to record a programme, I'd want to record it on my computer, that's why I'm using Sky Go on my computer, otherwise I might just as well watch it on my TV!

Anyway, apart from that, is there a problem with 'Retro' on Channel 190, such that it can't be seen on Sky Go?

The only way to watch the BBC channels via Sky Go is to link the app to a Sky Q box and you can only do this if you have a multiscreen subscription so do you have this ?

Then use BBC iPlayer

The owner of any channel can simply refuse to grant Sky permission to distribute through Go.

The BBC does so to boost iPlayer use and so justify License Fee spending on that platform.
