How to find catch up channels on Sky Stream?

[MaroochyDazza]

How on earth do you find the catch up channels on sky stream? So infuriating...

I have read other discussions but replies are always vague and often unhelpful eg go to channels and press middle button and it seperates on demand content (it doesn't though?)

so how do you access catch up content like sky documentaries or Gold?

When I go to the Sky app in the apps list it just has categories eg British, comedy, thrillers etc and top recommendations etc.

How do I actually find a list of channels so I can choose which shows on catch up to watch  ? 

it is so user unfriendly ...very infuriating

@MaroochyDazza  Have you tried the freely available user guides?  https://www.sky.com/help/home/sky-tv/sky-tv-stream/using-sky-stream

[MaroochyDazza]

None of those user guides explain how to access catch up channels ...they simply say how to find / install apps like Netflix etc 

I can see from various threads lots of customers seem to have same issue.

For example, if I want to watch a documentary on sky documentary channel how do I access it On the sky app on sky stream it doesn't list channels just categories (which wouldn't list all the shows on the documtary channel ) 

really clunky and complicated user interface

if you know what you want to watch, use search.

For a list of documentaries look on the NowTV website and then use search on stream

If that list is on Stream I haven't found it yet. Somebody might know.

Press the Home button

Select TV shows

Go down to Genres

Select Factual

[Bill051]

Unless I've missed something, the "factual" section only includes a very small number of the documentaries that are on the NowTV list and which are available to watch on Stream

Yes, the lists are more extensive on Sky's budget service🤔

A fuller list is available by;

Home>TV shows

Scroll down to Sky Channels or Channels and choose a channel within either of those rails like  for example Sky Documentaries or Gold.
