Unable to record a future programme

[SJRalling]

I want to record a programme that ius on next week. When I press record on my remote, I get the message "This programme cannot be recorded" at the top of the screen. I CAN record the programmes either side of this one, just cannot record the programme I want!
I have plenty of disk space remaining, so it's not a space issue... any ideas folks?

What programme is it?

The owner can use metadata to prevent recording.

You could make a note of when it's on and see if you're able to set it for recording nearer the time.

@SJRalling just tried it on my Q box and it allows me to record it 

Have you tried rebooting your main Q box ie
putting your box into Standby then switching it off at the wall for 30 seconds
switch it back on then follow the on screen instructions

Thank you @Laing1 🙂 - rebooting the Sky Q box fixed the problem for me.

Strange how this could happen though when other programmes seem unaffected!

An obscure bug/data corruption issue.  You may never see it again 😊
