No BBC programmes are shown on Sky Go App's TV Guide. With Sky's advice that the older Sky+ app, which does show the BBC programmes, is soon to be switched off. That will mean I have no way of remotely setting a BBC programme to record. It cannot be a rights issue, as all of the BBC channels, both TV and Radio are available on Sky. It would be a good idea for Sky to correct this prior to deprecating the Sky+ App.

This is the choice of the BBC and is intended by them to drive usage into iPlayer and so justify License Fee spending on that platform: it's not something which Sky has any control over.

To be clear it does show the BBC channels when away from home and when in Record to Sky box mode so remote recordings can be set,

Which is what the OP asked about as @R.W+Laidlaw was using the Sky+ app to remotely set such recordings:
