    @HAYSIE


    On what platform can I watch "Vengeance"? I looked for it last night on PRIME & NetFlix but there seemed to be numerous shows with that name & I gave up in the end.

    I ended up watching Ep 1 of Series 1 (a Pilot I believe?) of "Justified", which, annoyingly, I ended up paying £8.99 to buy Series 1. Not sure if I'll watch the rest of it yet, I was sort of 50/50 about Ep 1, but I'll try a few more episodes before giving up. It was ridic far-fetched, but some of the script was very sharp indeed. The lead Actor bloke was quite good too.

    You are not very good with your telly, and Sky are obviously paying you too much.
    As I said in my original post on Justified, there are 6 series available on Alibi.
    Alibi is free.
    On demand, scroll down to channels.
    Select Alibi.
    You cant miss it.

    The only way I could find Vengeance is as follows.
    Select Sky Cinema.
    Then featured.
    Scroll down to the very bottom, until you see, See all movies on Sky Cinema.
    Select WATCH.
    The films are listed alphabetically so V is quite a long way down.

    I am a big Timothy Olyphant fan, and it gets better.

    @HAYSIE


    What is "Alibi" then? An App, a TV Channel? Never heard of it. I'm not going to pay for it, that's for sure.

    Is "Vengeance" just a one-off Film, or is it a TV Series?

    I do two things every day, which probably takes 5 minutes.
    Select TV guide.
    Then scroll up 2.
    Select New Series.
    This is updated daily.
    I then have a look at Todays Top Picks, on the home page.
    Looking at both, gives you an idea of anything new.
    I then record anything I might want to watch.
    I dont watch everything.
    Doing this could save you a lot of money.

    It's not free if we have to pay for Sky Cinema.

    That's your fault, you never advised me properly. I intend to charge you that £8.99.

    That seems fair.

    Alibi is not free. However, it is an integral part of the Sky package-if you have that, then alibi is automatic at no extra cost.

    And is almost certainly the best Sky channel

    Got more "New" content than pretty much any other Sky channel (or indeed any channel that isn't BBC or ITV). Shows like Annika (shown a year later on BBC)

    Repeats are as good as any other channel, as it gets all the best crime shows from both the BBC and the USA. Like (at the moment)-

    Elementary
    Luther
    New Tricks
    Strike

    Thanks @Essexphil I'll give it a whirl in the next few days & report back.

    Amazing how many TV Channels there are these days.

    Been going since 1997, and under current name since 2008.

    Tip:-if you are going to watch "Elementary", suggest watch it from the beginning. It is wonderful

    PS-trivia about Jonny Lee Miller:-

    1. He was the first Husband of Angelina Jolie
    2. There was already a "Johnny Miller", so he added the "Lee" in tribute to his Grandfather-Bernard Lee (M in the 1st 11 Bond Films)

    I am surprised that you said that about Alibi.
    Although I have only really looked at the on demand tab, but it struck me that the vast majority of the programmes available are quite old, and most of the stuff that appeals, I have already seen elsewhere.

    Apologies to @HAYSIE and @Tikay10

    Alibi is very good.

    But I was having a Senior moment. The best/most original Sky programmes are found on Sky Atlantic.

    Wouldnt disagree.
    I was surprised that True Detective 4 is being shown on Sky Showcase.

    Oppenheimer confirms streaming release date



    Fans in the US will be able to watch Christopher Nolan's latest film on February 16 on NBC Universal's Peacock, with several other films from the director – including Dunkirk and The Dark Knight – to be made available on February 1 (via Variety).

    UK-based fans will have to wait two months longer before they can stream the film at home, with Oppenheimer set to be released for streaming on April 12 via Sky Cinema and NOW TV.

    For those not wanting to wait until the film lands on streaming services, Oppenheimer is currently available to rent for £4.99 or buy for £13.99 from Prime Video, iTunes, Microsoft Store and other digital platforms.

    I have only just noticed that a CH4 app has appeared.
    This is handy for me.
    I watch quite a number of the "Walter Presents" series.
    There is a much more comprehensive selection available on the app, than was previously available on demand.
    For anyone else that is interested, they come under the world drama tab, which can be found under categories, on the home page.

    You may also wish to familiarise yourself with the "On Demand" tab.
    It is pretty much self explanatory.
    I explained the other day which apps you have access to, and you will know which ones you pay for.
    Although the vast majority of this tab is dedicated to programmes accessible through Sky.
    So for instance had you had a glance at the "top picks" on this tab, you would have noticed that Justified was available to download.
    Had you selected it, and chosen "available now" it would have been obvious that there were 6 series available to download.
    It is also useful to point out which programmes are popular.
    The new Reacher series appears on this tab.
    All 8 episodes will be available from this Friday.
    Recent shows you may have missed, and recently added, also feature.
    You would also found Tulsa King under Paramount+ originals and exclusives.
    Whilst on this tab this morning, I had a look at After The Flood.
    I was directed to the ITVX app, which is not free, but you dont have to pay for it.
    I am currently recording this programme through Sky.
    I can get one programme per week, so it will take 6 weeks to get to the end of it.
    Yet all 6 episodes are available on the ITVX app now.
    Fool Me Once is worth a watch.
    If you were looking for Elementary.
    You would select on demand.
    Scroll down to channels.
    Select Alibi.
    Select Elementary.
    You would then see that there are 7 series available to download.
