Sky Stream and catch up on Non Sky Channels

[Fototechie]

Hi,

I am thinking of moving from SKY HD box to SKY Stream, but I currently have quite a few episodes of programs that I have recorded from the likes of ALIBI, UK DRAMA, etc.

Programs like Blackshore & Blacksands which are still running live.

Rather that have to watch them all before upgrading,  if I upgo to SKY Stream, will all the programs be available on the streamimg services.

Are there any links that list what is available?

Thanks for replying.

Hi @Fototechie 

There is no link to what is included on demand. However the U streaming service is on Sky Stream as well as a selection of programs in the TV Shows section of the Sky user interface.

See here for more information on playlist and how stream works in general: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-stream-faqs

Another thing would be to check the content you want to watch is on the U app (say on mobile) and Sky Go as this will give you a rough idea if it will be available on stream.

Remember stream uses broadband to deliver content not the dish, so you need fast and reliable broadband, and you cannot record locally. There are some cloud recordings and some channels like BBC push you to iPlayer etc.

Just checked for you

Blackshore 1 ep1-6 is available.

Blacksands S1 ep1-8 and S2 ep1-8 available.

Both are also available to play in the U app that is on Sky Stream.

There are no real links for what is available currently on Sky Stream  own on demand.

But, what you see for the Sky channels on demand on your Sky+ with the likes of ITV, BBC, C4, C5, the U channels and other channels that regularly provide on demand content on Sky boxes will be available on Sky Stream.

Of course On demand content like the above can be removed from the broadcaster at times, so will not be there indefinitely.

Just for some clarity, in case you are not totally sure.

 Stream does as well as providing playing on demand content use the many apps for on demand content. It is actually quite a seemless process from your Sky Stream box to play an episode, whether it's from Sky own on demand or the app on the Sky Stream box, plus it works well with adding that mix to your playlist for selection and following and select it from a continue watching rail.

If you have not already, have a look also at the FAQ on here for Sky Stream, namely the how to use for the playlist and the like.
