Just got sky stream after having the forerunner of sky plus hd for many years. It doesn't do live tv like I'm used to but hey ho I will get used to it. Never been one for catch up or whatever else it might be called so don't know how to work it.
as usual some series I never watched first time around I will watch as they come around again. Never saw " the last of us " so thought I might watch it. Don't know how to find any of this stuff. Thought I would try to find it and came across episode 1 by chance and watched it. Not exactly the sound of music but maybe it's reverse psychology, it's that grim and makes real life look great. So having watched the first episode how can I see the next episode and or when is it available to watch, is it any time I want. It's all a mystery to me

Once you've watched an episode of something, the nest episode should appear on your Continue Watching rail (one of the rows near the top).
Otherwise once you've found a series/show you like the look of, either via browsing or searching, click the + button on your Stream remote control - this will add it to your playlists (one of the boxes at the top of the Stream Home Screen). Think of it as bookmarking a show.
You can then go into your playlists and see everything you've added/bookmarked and go straight to playing it.
It might take a little getting used to having come from the Sky+HD recordings world, but it should click soon enough. Between the Continue Watching rail and your playlists, you'll hopefully find jumping back into shows that you've watched or have added to watch later much easier.
If your Home Screen is similar to mine, if you click down all the way to the bottom, there should be a number of short 'Welcome to Sky Stream' demo videos that will take you through how Continue Watching, Playlists and the rest of the Sky Stream system works. The same videos are also on YouTube if you search for 'Sky Stream Explained'.
Feel free to post back here if you come unstuck.

Thanks. Btw I didn't have sky plus hd. I had what came before with no recording facility and is far easier to use. Wife is still using it as stream is way beyond her.

for example "the last of us"
it will then pop up on the screen and give you the option of playing the next unseen episode

So hold the voice button down while speaking. Sounds silly to ask but the way things work now that seems too simple
