Since the BBC closed down their SD channels they are all over the place on the app so if BBC 1 HD is not 101 for you then look from 951 onwards for it and for BBC 2 HD if it isn't on 102 then look at 802 for it.

As advised I used my Sky Go app to control my SkyQ box but the programme list is not offering BBC1 and 2
You cannot watch BBC channels live via Sky Go - you need to use the BBC iPlayer app for that, but you can see what's on BBC channels on the TV Guide and set remote recordings on the Sky Go app.

Are you saying the channels don't appear in your TV Guide ?

Above the TV Guide select the "Record to box" option.

You should be able to set recordings via the app so do they record in your Sky box if you do this ?
As stated above you can't watch live BBC channels directly via the app unless it is connected to your Sky Q box and you would need a multiscreen sub to allow you stream live channels from your box to the app.

Re: Why isn’t my Sky Go app showing BBC 1 and 2 in my programme list?
I didn't find "record to box" but my issue has now resolved itself, I can once again view BBC listings in the Sky Go app and set to record. Must have been a glitch
Re: Why isn’t my Sky Go app showing BBC 1 and 2 in my programme list?
Ah, got it now re BBC channels and viewing.. I am currently connectted to my box so can view, but assume if I were away from home I could not in which case I would use iPlayer. thanks for that - hadn't realised that was the case.

That's correct, and it's worth noting this is insisted upon by the BBC rather than Sky, mostly because the Beeb has to justify their spending of Licence Fee income on provision of iPlayer services.

Re: Why isn’t my Sky Go app showing BBC 1 and 2 in my programme list?
I had this problem, and, reading through the comments, I worked it out. Go to the Skygo app. Go to Guide, at the top of the guide page, it says 'watch on Skygo' or Record on Sky Box'. Use 'Record on Sky Box, even if you don't want to record at the moment, when you use this option a new guide pops up showing the BBC channels. Hope this helps the 'Numpty's' like me.
