Yeah. Ever so slightly tempted to reboot the box to see if that brings it. But I'm so busy I wouldn't be using the app today, so I won't bother.

How is 'the only pay-TV provider' different to 'exclusive'?

It’s also available on various App stores for Smart TVs, so it’s not exclusive to Sky.

Maybe Sky will be the only one allowing you to add it to your existing TV bill?

I wonder if anyone noticed. It's just hours and hours of hysterical women having beefs about very little. Hopefully, the days of reality TV in the UK are declining now.

No - I was explaining why it wasn’t "exclusive to Sky", not that it wasthe only PayTV provider.
