Can anyone tell me you can record on great TV planner but when it comes to Great movie action or any movie channels with great movies the only recalled half of the film you don't get the full film on your planner you get around about 58 minutes of the film and I have a plate with great TV and I think that's the problem but can anyone tell me why

It's because 'Great' TV like to insert a daft 'news' break in the middle of movies that they show.

Sky Stream & Glass customers have been complaining about this since the service launched but AFAIK there doesn't seem to be a confirmed solution. You may need to add both parts of the movie to your playlist/watchlist/record list* from the TV Guide and see if it'll save both parts for viewing later.

*or whatever they're calling it this week

As @Angel_Aka indicates, because splitting a movie into two separately listed EPG items around a (bogus) news 'programme' lets the channel run additional advertising without breaking Ofcom regulations.
