Something to try if you're bored

[Mr+Ripley]

  If you have a Favourite Channels list & access to voice control on your remote, try finding the ITV drama The Twelve by saying " The Twelve " & see what happens. I'm curious to know if it also happens with any other other numerical shows or films.

  Did anyone try this? I'm curious to know if you got the same result as I did.

On sky q, it went to my channel saved in the favourites as no. 12.

  @nolte  Thanks for that, same result as I had. Surely a fault in the system there & as I said, does it happen with similar titles?

More an indication that producers probably shouldn't choose such titles...

Do recall seeing this in the past.

Suppose really the channel number should take priority.

On my Sky Stream;

If you say 'the twelve on itv', 'the twelve series' it finds the drama.

On Sky Stream it took me to channel 12 or said "don't recognise that channel", even when in the favourite section.

  But why did it ignore the word " the ", I didn't say Twelve into my remote, I said The Twelve?

I'd observe that Sky Group, even with Comcast behind them, is unlikely to have the resources to deploy a voice assistant as competent as those from global scale entities such as Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft etc. With thirty-odd million customers in Europe, Sky is a minnow in that respect.

It will probably get better, though.
