Regarding the Sky Glass/Stream changes in Ireland (highlighted in red), could that relate to something that is launching across the Irish sea on channel 160?

[Villaforever]

I think 160 will be placeholder for wildearth hd to launch if when it does

@smurph69 @Villaforever 

It's only Great TV being added to sky glass and sky stream

[xenon81]

Great TV will be on 167 but doesn't explain why channels on 160-162 have moved up one place in Ireland.

As per the update

• GREAT! tv - EPG number 167 (160 ROI)

So it is 160 in roi, hence my reply on the two posts I referenced to wondering what 160 will be in ireland

[bob1234]

While I am glad these are being added I hope they are not the same as TCM and others where programmes can neither be added to  the play list nor watched from the beginning.

Sky have now admitted that the information given on their various web sites is misleading I am now majoring in trying to get them to correct the sites.

• GREAT! romance - EPG number 317 UK & ROI
• GREAT! movies - EPG number 318 UK & ROI
• GREAT! action - EPG number 319 UK & ROI

[bob1234]

Sky really need to get their Web site and junk mail to be correct, the most recent junk email says.

"Seen something you like but can’t watch right now? Not a problem. Just save it to Playlist. Then it’s ready and waiting for you later."

Well it does not work with Glass / stream with TCM,  I hope it does with the "Great series" that should be available soon.

Sky have admitted that it does not work with TCM, there may be other channels.

"Some shows, including programmes from news and music channels (e.g. MTV Music), and some of our movie channels (e.g. TCM), aren’t available due to licensing restrictions or might be removed from your Playlist due to changes in licensing rights. "

I raised a formal complaint with Sky, I doubt whether they will do anything so the next stop is ASA or whoever the relevant people  are.

@bob1234 I think the whole Playlist concept was badly briefed from the beginning.  When I enquired about Glass it was described to me as cloud recording and everything could be recorded. I don't think the guy was deliberately misleading me, that how he understood it at the time.

@redsky88I am still waiting for a response to my  question about what happened to the 1000 hours cloud storage that was promised.

It never existed, we debunked that fairytail/lie when Sky Glass launched

I know but I want Sky's answer, as it was yet  another claim they made.
