Q - catch up BBC issue

[jennykins1963]

What's happened to BBC  catchup has changed & now you cannot download hardly any progs 

Just directs you to BBC Iplayer , thus cannot  download

Presumably the BBC wants viewing in iPlayer to justify the License Fee spending on that platform.  This isn't something Sky can have any control or influence over: it's literally not their content.

The BBC catch up section was changed this week and is now more of a gateway to iPlayer. However the programmes can still be downloaded to your box by using the Sky Go app on phone/tablet. Go into browse, catch-up, scroll down to BBC, then find programme you want and select Download to box.

Do you want to download because your connection is a bit too slow for live streaming?

[jennykins1963]

My connection speed is not the issue.

For me it is the ability to record / download what I want when I want not stream it 

Thats why I have sky Q

@jennykins1963 then as its the BBC that is not allowing Sky to have the content available to download you need to make your complaint to the BBC

Many programs on the iPlayer are probably on there a lot longer than they would have been on the catch up service I know from experience some programmes have many series going back years and they are all still available today on the iplayer

That world is fast disappearing

Unfortunately BBC programmes are no longer available on the Skygo app

Apologies - I re-opened the app after the unavailable message and BBC is available

If you use the search button on the sky controller and key in the program then listings  are shown. Just downloaded Ep3 of Father Brown.

WHY has the BBC catchup on SKYQ changed, not everything is easy to find on iplayer and besides it is easier for my wife to use SKY and the skyplanner that troll though the BBC archives of iplayer.

The BBC are really keen to get everyone using the iPlayer app, as you have to sign in and they can gather more data about what you watch. But there are ways around the new system such as using the Sky Go app to trigger downloads of BBC programmes on your box.
