Practical reading about streaming, devices and the decisions behind a better prepared setup.
Virgin TV Go separates remote recording requests from playback of a 360 recording. Recorded programmes require the app to be at home on the same network as the box.
On a Virgin V6, Recently Deleted can recover listed recordings when space is available. Recording Hiccups addresses programmes that failed to record, which is a different problem.
EE’s standby modes affect remote recording scheduling. Smart Standby blocks new remote requests during its deep-sleep window, while Energy Saver also prevents remote scheduling.
EE’s Zoom Interact enlarges guide and menu text; Zoom Pan magnifies an area of the picture. Neither function is documented as an on-demand-player zoom control.
EE documents UK USB-keyboard control throughout its YouView menus, including on-demand players. Its Clevy and Jumbo mapping sheets translate keyboard keys into television-remote actions.
Check the Sony model’s recording support, YouView mode and HDD instructions before formatting a drive. Sony documents different recording procedures for different television families.
