I found a new rather tech solution (Channels DVR) which has similar functionality and set that all up on a Pi 4, got a shiny new 1Gb internet, and cancelled Virgin.

During the cancellation phase and with something between AI slop and pure bad luck the Pi crashed the database which took me over a week to diagnose and repair and suddenly Virgin didn't look so bad, so after a negotiation we are back on Virgin, with the 360 box which is probably sightly better than expected.

Anyway there is a question here. We were trying to set a pass for The Hairdresser Mysteries from the Virgin Android app TV Go and can't see how to do it. We can set for other things but I'm sure there are others we might not be able to. I have looked around here but not managed to find anything. She prefers to record rather than watchlist or play from streaming.

Any ideas anyone? TIA.
The record facility on the app is I believe heavily restricted, so do it with the TV 360.
