After 17 years on Sky+/+HD, have now had to upgrade as we know. Went for Sky Stream as we are on a communal dish so wanted better functionality than a single feed Sky Q.
We're adapting OK to most features but what we really can't get used to is it not changing channels to what we want to watch.
On Sky+ a programme set to record would automatically turn over when it was due to air. Older boxes had a similar function called "Autoplay". Am I missing something or is this just not possible on Sky Stream?
Thanks for any comments!
That isn't a feature of Sky Stream. The reason that worked on Sky + was because that was only capable of recording/viewing 2 channels at once, so if you had 2 shows recording at the same time, one of them would always be automatically switched over to when you are watching something else.
The whole concept of Sky Stream is about watching your shows from your playlist, at a time that suits you, once the show is available to be watched.
When a new episode on a playlisted show is available, the show moves to the front of your playlist. If you have watched the previous episode of the show, then the next episode appears on the continue watching rail on the home screen as soon as it is available to be watched. This may often be before its broadcast on the linear channel (as you often get with soaps being available first thing in the morning), or when box sets orf shows are available from Day 1, whilst the broadcast schedule remains weekly for a show.
