This is how weird it is.....
The Recordings Continue section has programmes you haven't recorded.
I noticed I've got ITV racing on Stv in it, I've not recorded it, it's waiting to be downloaded. I don't want to download it, how do I delete this tile? I tried downloading it and deleting after, but when I click on the programme tile to download it says. Sorry, this item is no longer available.
hi @Richardsky1
The Recordings - Continue section is notoriously flakey.
You cannot delete any entries directly from this section - it is just pointers to elsewhere.
Not too sure how it would include a programme not related to something you have recorded however.
The particular problem you report can involve a couple of known quirks (aka bugs) where the Continue section shows the next episode to be watched after you complete or are very near the end of an episode (cause 1) & thus prompts you to download an episode you have not yet seen.
Then this is combined with something that happens for some ITV programmes where the next episode is not yet available to download (because it has not yet been shown on live ITV) BUT STV (in Scotland) make all episodes (including those not yet aired) available so the SKY box continue section thinks the episode is available although it isn't for ITV region viewers !
(hope that makes some sense)
Some entries in the continue section can be cleared by making sure you delete older episodes and then going into Recordings - Manage - deleted & select delete forever
This of course only works for those you have watched etc. so you may be left with other rogue entries
Our advice is to only ever use the Continue Section when you KNOW the entry is the one you want (episode number etc) - otherwise this section is best avoided.
Edit : P.S. Similar flakey behaviour can be seen in the buttons above episodes in the Recodings - Most Recent Section -where again we recommend great caution - I suggest always scrolling down to the epdisode thumbnail and buttons below
Unfortunately SKY don't seem to have 'heard' our criticism of this section or felt the need to make sure it works 100%
