Re: Cannot download brookside on demand any more
I've got the exact same problem. Series 11 episode 35. I also tried series 11 episode 36, series 12 episode 1 and the very first episode. They all say they have downloaded 103% and have to be cancelled. I tried Biker Grove and that worked fine. Other shows also work. Just seems to be Brookside.

Re: Cannot download brookside on demand any more
Hello Thanks for getting back to me. Now hope this all makes,sense. I can them all on my phone with STV app. However I am in my late 70s so would rather watch on tv.
They seem to keep messing about with the episode numbers . The last episode was I think S17E43. When I tried to download them today there was a Series 18 and 19. The last episode on Series 18 included the last one I saw. So it is the 4 episodes on series 19 which I cant download. So Series,19 E1 to E4. Hope this makes sense thanks

Re: Cannot download brookside on demand any more
Yes, seems to be just that show. Hopefully they will sort it. If you go in the menu and go down to apps, there is an stv app which if you open and make a free account you should be able to stream from there to you TV instead of your phone. I downloaded it to my TV and was able to stream.

Re: Cannot download brookside on demand any more
Must be an issue with STV player I guess then, possibly with soaps as they get updated each week possibly.

Re: Cannot download brookside on demand any more
Exact same problem. Infuriating after watching 650 or so episodes. Im now stuck in limbo. Sort it out Sky. Downloads go to 103% and stick. No option to play. Arrrrgh!

Re: Cannot download brookside on demand any more
If you go to apps, find the STV one and create an account you can stream episodes from there. I do prefer to download them though and it should just work.
