I watch Eastenders on Catchup. I watch it from BBC 3 but cant get monday episode.

[Gi3]

So, for a year I go into Catchup TV on saturday eve, and watch 4 episodes of Eastenders from the previous monday, tues, weds, thurs, from BBC 3. But recently, only the Tuesday episode shows on screen, and I need to watch that, then when the strip along the bottom comes up at end, saying next episode is available, I have to arrow BACK and watch mondays episode AFTER tuesdays! No option to watch them in order that I can find. Any techy people got any idea please?

Is there a reason you don't just record them on BBC1 on the days they are broadcast? You wouldn't then have this issue. 

[Gi3]

Yes. Because I do not have a TV licence ....so allowed to watch Catchup, but not allowed to record programmes.

This is a feature of Sky's interface. It seems that stored programs can be randomly listed via the Sky interface. One thing that I find often works is to use the Audio search option. Using the microphone on your SkyQ remote, ask Sky for "Eastenders ". The list of programs this produces may include the Monday-Thursday programs.

You may have to experiment with how to get the Sky interface to list Eastenders. But I've found that using multiple avenues to list stored programs produces multiple, different listings of the same programs.

You need a licence for catch-up too: https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/bbc-iplayer-and-the-tv-licence

I didnt know I had a microphone on the remote . I dont really understand what you wrote...bit techy and complex. Dont know what interface is......I do appreciate you taking the time to reply....but dont really know what you mean...

[Chodley]

Does catchup on Sky Q count the same as iPlayer in terms of license requirements? I honestly don't know

Interface means the way you interact with the system. What you see on-screen and how it responds when you click on things.

He wasn't giving you any specific instructions, just saying that finding content via different menus/routes can give different filtering or sorting of the results.

Doesn't Catch Up on Sky Q actually use iPlayer?

Sorry, but that isn't an answer to my question. I am not asking about a tv licence...

Well if you're watching on catchup instead of recording the live show because you haven't got a license, but you need a license to watch catchup anyhow, then you might as well record the live show, which would then stack stuff in a more intuitive way, so it is relevant to your question.

However, the OP admitting that they don't have a tv licence in a public forum isn't the smartest move when discussing accessing shows that they need a licence for!

[Chodley]

Well yeah but I don't the feds are chasing anyone down based on anonymous internet posts.

[PieMark]

you might want to read up how they investigate rather than think it's just the forum. 

The same people say I don't need a vpn as they'll never come after me for iptv then crying when the letter comes;
