Also adding cycling to playlists stopped working this year. You end up with Welsh recordings or nothing

It depends for each film how long the broadcaster has the rights to keep them on their platform.

 

30 days seems about the norm for the likes of ITV X and IPlayer however I have seen the odd film of those platforms be available for up to 90 days (it all depends on what the platform agreed as part of their rights deal for the film).

@Hector+cycles  With respect to the films unfortunately it's a case of watch live or not at all, this is because the broadcasters have brought as live rights only leaving the on demand rights to other providers like amazon etc

To be honest if you aren't a Sky cinema subscriber unless you are a subscriber of other on-demand app services like Amazon Prime Video, Disney + or Paramount + then the Sky streaming platform really isn't going to be suited to you for films.

 

Channels like BBc ITV and C4 don't always get the rights for films for their catch up services and where they do it's for a limited time only.

Thanks for the reply. I have just checked all the films on the playlist and only iplayer and Netflix are OK. Is there a time limit to play a film?
