Remote record on sky q

[ggunning]

Hi, 

I was a sky customer years ago and I remember at the time I could use my phone when in the office for example to setup a recording on my Sky + box. This was great.

I am now back with Sky and have Sky Q, but I can't see this functionality. In the Sky Go app I can see the TV Guide but there is no option to select record. 

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi @ggunning you need to select a programme from the tv guide to see the  record option

[ggunning]

Thanks for the reply, I tried that but I have no options when I select the program I want to record. see screenshot for example

It might be worth reporting this to the apps team via this email address- apps@sky.uk

I've tried on a number of occasions to remotely set up a program to record. The app seems to indicate a red R to show it is recording, but get home to find it hasn't recorded, what am I doing wrong!!

@Gezza 

Is it a Sky Q box you have, and did you previously have a Sky+ one ?

[Gezza]

Hi it's a sky Q box, I wish in some ways I hadn't changed over to these flakey mini boxes/sky q box as I am always having to reset on a weekly basis. With sky+ boxes the remote recordings always worked. I tried again last night using different techniques and while the app seems show the program is set recoding, it's not! Must be a setting I am missing.

When you had your Sky Q box installed were you sent a new viewing card as I am wondering if the requests are going to the one you had with your Sky+ box ?

[Gezza]

Can't be 100% certain but surely new box new viewing card. I have not raised a complaint with Sky. Thanks.
