Hi @Confused17

Same problem now required to subscribe in order to watch via catchup/on demand. Show in question is Masterchef Australia series 13 Episode 5 onwards.

Hi @Davidlw 

On my 360 I can watch Masterchef Australia series 13 Episode 5 onwards via Catch Up by selecting either WHD, W, W+1 and the UKTV Play.  The UKTV Play option has 85 seconds of adverts before the program plays, however the other options play without many leading adverts

I can also access and play those episodes via Box Sets and selecting the W icon.

Hi @Confused17 

On my 360, Casualty series 33 only goes up to episode 28 when clicking on UKTV Play

It does however play OK when clicking on Drama channel under the Catch Up section.

We are also having this problem. Trying to watch CSI Vegas on UK TV and it tells me I need to subscribe. Have been watching this fine up to now.

We have this problem and also 5 on demand services too.
