I have pro TV box. It's not giving me the option to record programs other than by using the record button on the remote. It was an option under the info on the program, now it's just set reminder / search.
Also I could always record programs on Wildearth TV, now I can't. It's not a subscription channel. Why have recordings changed??
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Hi @Dpt71
The 'info' button will give you the option to set a reminder and view the program, if it's available 'on demand'.
To record a program, you just need to find it on the guide and hit the 'record' button on your remote control.

Hi Chris
Thank you for your however you've just told me what I already knew. The ability to 'manually' record by pressing 'info' and using arrow function to the option of 'record' has disappeared. Other than me knowing you can press the record button, there is no indication how to record on the main TV guide screen anymore. It also used to have an icon at the bottom of the TV guide along with all other functions. If I was a new user I would definitely struggle to know how I record a program.
This also seems to have happened when the menus were all changed around a week ago. It used to be you could access 'my tv' straight from the initial options, just drop down to spaces and you were in the menu for recordings. Now I have to arrow left into a thinner option of the menus and then start going down the menus. I appreciate EE are probably trying to improve functionality however adding steps into a process doesn't improve it, it makes it more complicated and less user friendly.
Also I asked about Wildearth and why I can no longer record this channel. It's a free channel, there is no subscription required. It's something I watch every single day and thousands of others do as well. For me specifically, I watch two 3 hour programs which are shown live, one is on very early in the morning, the other mid afternoon, I can't watch them live but I catch up on them as it's a live safari drive in South Africa so keeping up to date is interesting etc. This is literally a program that has helped me and so many others to get some escapism. All sorts of reasons I love it. I can't see any reason why it's not available to record and I would really like for someone to be able to check whether this has been an oversight and can be switched back on please!!
Thank you for any help that can be provided.

I agree that the Record option is missing from several screens where it should be an option.
As you say the record button actually does work but it is not displayed as an option.
Seems an obvious fault to me that needs to be passed back to the EETV developers.
