@andy4756 You can only watch recordings on the pro box not any additional boxes you have.

@andy4756 No problem, hopefully EE do take notice of comments like yours and maybe can do something about it.

Nope - @DarrenDev has told us that it’s technically possible, but that the broadcasters won’t allow it 😢

Multi-room streaming is standard for Virgin Media & Sky recording boxes. VM's current recording product has one recording pool shared amongst all boxes. The ringfenced TiVo/V6 setup has multiple boxes, each with recording capability and all with multi-room streaming.

@bristolian

You may regard that as a bellwether of exactly how much clout EE TV has got, compared with them 😢

They have so much to learn @Midnight_Voice 🤣

As we know, the consistent rule of thumb is BT/EE/YouView can't do it for technical reasons, won’t do it because “that is not how it was designed” or it is the content/app providers fault/decision/responsibility.

Shared recordings have been a requested feature on YouView/BT since the days when @Midnight_Voice and I were boys dealing with them direct. They have always said ‘no’.
