How can I record programmes

[NeilJC60]

I've just joined Sky and wnat to record programmes. Online advice say s pres the RED "R" button but our remote doesn't have such a button.

We do have a button with a red + sign but nto obvious means to record.

Does any kow how to do this on Sky?

If you have Sky Stream (it sounds like you do) then you don't record. You create bookmarks in a playlist by pressing the red + button on the remote. This will then give you access to play back programmes on demand either direct from Sky's servers as a cloud recording or on demand file, or from a third party app (subscription permitting for certain content.)

Firstly, with that remote  button you mention, you have either Sky Stream or Sky Glass.

Which one do you have?

Sky Glass and Sky Stream does not record to a hard drive, like traditional recording, but provides a 'playlist' link to the programme, or series on live TV, On demand or apps.

Have a read of how the playlist works here;

Save all your favourite shows to your Playlist, which brings together in one place all the programmes you’ve added from the TV guide, on demand and apps. No need to remember to record. Watch shows from your Playlist as soon as they are available to catch up.

Thanks @Mister_Dalek and @lettice for the advice.

That makes perfect sense, it'll just take some getting used to but it's worth it to get off Virgin Media.

Thanks again.
