@SkyHelpTeam hi. I need help with Sky q box. It is rubbish at streaming. It’s supposed to be a hub for tv, but if we steam we have to use PlayStation for apple, iPlayer, Amazon, Netflix because it keeps buffering on the sky box with 150mb download speed. Why?

@yorkyqui It will likely never hit freeview, it's an Apple TV show, exclusively on Apple TV. If you want to watch it on a laptop or tablet I'm happy to share my login. My tv has Apple TV as an app, like Iplayer...

@kalonfitz Use a vpn on your laptop, and try watch it on bbc iPlayer. If that doesn’t work u might have to wait for Netflix, or try a third party streaming website :)

Made a terrible decision. Turned off Drag Race UK just before finding out who sashayed and came back to find iplayer doesn’t just look different, it doesn’t work. Urgh, the trials of my life.
