Watching Quest TV and Challenge TV on catch-up

[AndyP6]

Are there Apps on the Sky Stream system where I can watch shows I've missed on Quest TV, Really TV and Challenge TV?

I understand most things you can access via the Playlist if you miss an episode, e.g. Coronation Street on ITVX, but not all episodes of shows like The Repair Shop are appearing on our Repair Shop Playlist if they were shown on Quest or Really TV.

For example Quest and Really TV channels have been showing episides from Series 5 and 6 of The Repair Shop the last few weeks, but none of them are showing on the Playlist. So unless we watch them live then the chance to view those episodes have gone.

However, some of the Quest episodes from November/December 2023 from series 2-4 ARE showing on The Repair Show Playlist.

With shows that have appeared on BBC and/or ITV days previous you can go into the BBC iPlayer and ITVX Apps and watch them back without accessing the Playlist, which is why it would be useful if you could do the same with show that have been on Quest, Really and Challenge TV channels by accessing their respective App - if they exist?

If not, how long does it take shows from Quest, Really and Challenge TV channels to appear on a Playlist?

In all likelihood the on-demand rights to most of the shows probably aren't owned by the channels broadcasting them, and all they have are the linear broadcasting rights to the shows.

If you do a voice search for the show, the programme page for that show will list all on the episodes and seasons that are available via any of the on-demand apps on the Sky Streaming platform, along with when any episodes are being broadcast on a linear channel.

Thanks. The On Demand rights would probably explain why they don't immediately appear on the Playlist after initially broadcasting.
