Sky, Channel 4, Big Bang Theory not avaliable in ROI

kiffer · 2012-07-22 14:31:51

Hi, my mother has Sky and enjoys watching the BBT, and we're wondering if there is a reason that channel 4 cuts out for some shows? I assume it's some sort if licencing issue but it seems odd that it's just channel 4 and just some shows. Any one have any light they can shed on this?

Yeah, it's a rights thing. You can however add the UK version of Channel 4 to the 'Other Channels' list and watch it that way. Simples.

It is mad how they can show the Big Bang Theory on E4 but not Channel 4.

Thanks! I'll look into that!
She has an older sky box and I can't seem to find the other channels list... It's not crucial, but it was just very annoying to have channels cutting out like that.
