I had a code to buy a movie and decided to buy it via my mobile, but now I cannot locate it on my sky Q box to watch on tv. I've looked everywhere. I can find it on my mobile but not on Sky Q box

Thanks for clarifying @harveyblueeyes
A couple of questions please.
Are you logging in to your Skystore account on your phone with the same Sky ID as you use for your main TV Sky account ?
When you log in on your phone and select the movie, does it give you an option to "send to box" ?

Re: I bought a movie on my mobile but I cannot locate it on my sky box to watch on tv
I've moved your post to this forum as being a more likely place to find an answer.
I suspect Sky Store content purchased in a mobile platform won't appear on a Sky television box.

Re: I bought a movie on my mobile but I cannot locate it on my sky box to watch on tv
@TimmyBGood is quite right if we are talking about a rental (you can only view those on the type of device you rented it on )
- although-
if it's a buy and keep, you should be able to view it on your Sky box.
Could you say a bit more about the type of purchase ?

If it was a buy and keep @harveyblueeyes it should appear on your Sky Q box under recordings / purchases

Re: I bought a movie on my mobile but I cannot locate it on my sky box to watch on tv
Thanks guys. It was a buy and keep where Sky gave me a code to use to redeem as a VIP customer. I didn't have access to my Mac at the time so I accessed my sky account via my phone. I can view on my phone, but ideally want to see it on my main TV, but it's not showing up under my recordings or purchases on my Q box.

If you search on your Sky Q box by voice or by magnifying glass for exactly the same movie (HD / same version etc) does it show as purchased ?
if so, will it let you select it ?
(don't do so if you see a £ amount )

Yes, I have tried this and the movie shows as £, not free

Have you made Sky Store purchases before or is this the first one ?
