I'm based in Ireland and recently signed up to Sky Stream.
I have the following:
Sky Essential TV
Netflix Basic
Sky Sports
Sports Extra
discovery+ Standard
When I go to view Alibi or Gold, I'm told I need to purchase a subscription. However, I can't see an option to purchase anything additional that looks relevant on Sky.com.
Does anyone know how I can solve this? It seems impossible to speak with a human in Sky these days.

You need to upgrade from Essential TV to Ultimate TV. The essential TV is just a smaller number of free to air channels.

Thanks for the responses. Looking at options for upgrading, I don't see Sky Ultimate. Maybe it's not available in Ireland.
I have everything bar Movies and Kids according to Sky.com, neither of which I need.
