Re: Poll - Is the ability to search On Demand and watch directly from EPG working for

What should happen: When you search for a show (E.G. True Blood) you should select the show and get an option to watch from catchup TV or On demand. The option I think says 'Get from On demand'
What happens for many people is that there is no option to watch available shows, just the option to record future episodes
Ok, after nearly 24 hours of install, I've noticed the following:

Reverse EPG goes back to Wed morning (00:00) and selecting Catchup programs from the past either:
- prompts to Watch on Catchup (e.g. Midsomer Murders)
- prompts to browse Catchup On Demand (e.g. NCIS)

Search All TV for stuff that is definitely in on-demand appears to work, although perhaps I need to find more examples. e.g. Peep Show is in the guide and on-demand, and I get option to record or watch on-demand.

However, the example you gave, True Blood, is not listed at all On-Demand. That's browsing A-Z in Catchup and TV On Demand. Can you find another example that doesn't work?

I think there was a major glitch early this week that got sorted out Wednesday afternoon, and perhaps we need to wait now until the EPG is completely sorted?

So far so good (except the bad PQ).

Yes, I'm really hoping this becomes a bit more seamless over time. It's getting better already, but it's not quite working as I imagined at the moment. Give it time though.
