Recording HD

[koojo]

I cannot record any programs from Channel 5HD catchup/on demand part of my skyQ.  I donot have a HD subscription but Channel 5HD is a free to air channel.  I can watch live tv in HD and also record from the planner in HD but trying to download episodes missed am unable to do!  I have even tried tried searching for SD versions of a program which dont seem to be available given HD is free to air anyway.  
Do anybody have any ideas?

@koojo this has come up before and although you can watch and record channel 5 in HD without the HD subscription to be able to watch catchup/on demand in HD from channel 5 you need to have the HD subscription. 

This seems to be a channel 5 decision

Hi @koojo 

Exactly what content are you trying to watch?

Not all Channel 5 catch-up is HD only

Is season 6 of Dogs behaving (very) badly. It was once on the the planner and series linked.  Just noticed last night that season 6 had started but the series link has disappeared from the planner.  So trying to record the 5 episodes we have missed is impossible for reasons mentioned above!

hi @koojo 

All Series 6 episodes 1 -6 are showing as available in SD on my box

Please may I suggest you try changing your download preference to SD
Main Menu -> Settings -> Setup -> Preferences

(Please note this setting can only be set on the Main box)
