Catch up & box sets

We have our sky Q box installed yesterday and cannot access catch up or box sets. We are using a 4G connection but I have seen other posts saying that this works but is just slow. 

 

When we try it says we need to upgrade our package, but they are definitely included in our package. 

 

Any advice welcome.

@Oli091 Sky signature comes with live TV, catchup and boxsets.in SD as standard you may be trying to download the programme in HD

The default download setting is HD so try changing the format to download in SD

you can change the default to SD by Pressing Home on your Sky Q remote and select Settings, then Setup.
Select Preferences, then 'On Demand default download format', and choose SD.
