Re: Missing Catchup programs

For most programs I will indeed record on V+

But sometimes there are clashes and I choose to rely on CatchUp instead... or perhaps I will record in SD but try to watch in OD-HD instead. There are also some daily shows like soaps/Newsnight that I just, out of habit, use CatchUp.

95% of the time, CatchUp OD is fine - the program is on there, and there are no issues with availability. But the 5% of the time it fails, is where VM's processes are failing miserably.

There's also the point that... if VM advertise this as a USP, and provide it... then it should be properly supported. It doesn't appear to be.
