Back to Flash for now

As we’re never able to start watching shows as soon as they start, with Flash you could select the show and start from the beginning, even if the show was halfway through. And shows that had just finished live were immediately there to watch, not have to wait til a couple of hours later to be available. Hopefully these things will be addressed in future updates, but for now it’s back to Flash.

Trouble stopping videos

After I have watched a video, it loops back to the start and the pause button does nothing on my iPad or iPhone to stop the video. I have to close the app to stop the video from playing and then restart it to get to the next video to watch.

Not quite as good as Flash

With Flash I could start watching the programs I like a little later than live. Also the pause feature is better. With the Sky News app I need to watch live and can’t re watch a program until very much later? Why is outsiders today not accessible until so much later?
