Playlist - Close to replacing DVR but needs some features that Sky need to add.

[RobC2024]

I've been using Stream for about 18 months, now and apart from the puck having the odd bad day and needing the occasional reboot it's been working well   I still however have a FreeSat DVR recording programs as the Playlist feature isn't there yet to be relied apon for "recording" programs.

By far the biggest issue is the Playlist giving subscription services proritiy over free to air programs.  For example I like a bit of NCIS which is basicaly on every day on Five USA.  This means that there should always be a "recording" in my Playlist that I can watch.  Instead when I go the playlist all I can see is NCIS from wither Paramount+ for Disney+, both of which I don't subscribe to.  I have learnt that sometimes if I reboot the puck the Five USA channel "recordings" appear back in my Playlist. 

For the Playlist to be able to finally replace a DVR, there needs to be a way that I can filter out subscription chanels i don't subscribe to which will allow it to show the free-to-air programs.

Thoughts?

Raise many times in the Glass & Stream  forums, but for reasons which should be fairly obvious I'd imagine Sky and their commercial app partners rather prefer users to be directed to those subscription services instead of the 'free' providers....
