@Super+Anthony  Contact the channel owners, Sky can't just put a channel on without extensive negotiations taking place, it's more complicated than people think.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Re: That's TV New channel

Understood and thanks @GD1 

 

Found this - 

That's TV is not currently available on Sky Stream but it is available on Sky satellite (channels 183 for That's TV, 366 for That's 60s). The primary reason for its absence on Stream is a difference in carriage agreements between traditional satellite broadcasting and the streaming-only platform.

@Super+Anthony  As noted already it's not sky's decision to make the channel owner has to what the channel to be on stream if they don't then there's nothing sky can do

 

contact the channel owner and ask them what their position is on joining stream

Sky claims that channels on Sky Glass and Stream must be in HD.

An example of this is with the Talking Pictures TV discussion on here where Talking Pictures TV has claimed that for a channel to be put on Sky Glass and Sky Stream, that it must be broadcasting in HD for all content and this is a technical specification outlined by Sky. 

 

I would assume it's the same reason why That's TV channels, as well as Rewind TV are not on Sky Glass/Stream. 

However, there are a few SD channels on Sky Glass/Stream, so it seems like there's "different rules for different people", as the following are on Sky Glass/Stream and in SD:

  • Discovery Channel (Ireland only)
  • Comedy Central Extra
  • 5Star (UK only)
  • E4 Extra
  • Food Network
  • Really
  • U&Drama
  • True Crime
  • True Crime Xtra
  • Legend
  • Quest Red
  • Investigation Discovery
  • Blaze
  • HGTV
  • DMAX
  • Discovery Turbo
  • Animal Planet
  • U&Eden
  • Discovery Science
  • Discovery History
  • Christmas24
  • Christmas24+
  • Legend Xtra
  • MTV Music
  • Club MTV
  • MTV 90s
  • MTV 80s
  • NDTV World
  • Oireachtas TV (Ireland only)
  • RTÉ News (Ireland only)
  • Nick SpongeBob
  • Nick Jr. Too
  • B4U Movies
  • B4U Music
  • Utsav Bharat
  • Aaj Tak (UK only)
  • Colors Rishtey
  • Sony SAB
  • Sony Max 2
  • Geo News
  • Geo TV
  • Sky News Arabia
  • Colors Gujarati
