How to watch certain programmes remotely

I was away at the weekend, and I wanted to watch my recorded F1 GP.  I went on to the EETV app, selected My TV and then recordings, selected the GP and got a message that said something like ' go to your TV, switch on your EETV box and watch it'.  Really useful.

So, I assumed I could watch on the Now app. Went on there, searched for the Emilia Romagna GP, got all the practice, qualifying, chequered flag programs, but no actual race.

Unbelievably frustrating.

What should I have done to watch this race?

No one?

Should I contact EE support on this?

@imacken  welcome to the challenge of finding catch up on the NOW app.

There is a rerun  (2hr 4 min) on the Now app but it is admittedly quite challenging to find .

Navigation may differ according to device but try within the app

 Sports   > Competitions >F1 > Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Highlights  > Emilia Romagna F1 Grand Prix 

You should be able to download it to your mobile device.

whilst it seems to be there now  , I don’t know when Now will have loaded it  .. eg they might have loaded it after taking time to edit the programme.

@imacken also just to note that when you record on your pro box, you can only watch it on your pro box.

As you have said in a previous post, you get what you pay for.

@Weerab2024 Yep, it is kind of frustrating that recordings are apparently accessible on the EETV mobile app, yet they can't be watched.  Seems a little disingenuous.

@zulu17 Difficult to find, and most certainly wasn't available a couple of hours after it took place.

So, it would seem that despite paying a hefty monthly fee, the EETV service falls short again as I was unable to watch a programme that was included in my package.

@imacken any delay in Now catch up is down to Now to be fair to EE

@Weerab2024 Of course, but it's still a reflection of the service offered by EETV.
