I don't blame anyone for reviewing their sub's as premium content is getting more and more expensive and the choice is getting greater , I tend to play one service off against the other it usually nets you a discount.

			I've just downloaded The Wolf of Wall Street to my Sky box directly from the Sky Movies weekly email. Very impressive!    |

			Updated the sky+ app on ipad this morning.  Had a browse in new and recommended and decided to have a look at Criminal Minds S10E01.  I find it's available On Demand but, for some reason, there is no option to record it only an option to watch it.
 This is the first time I have come across this.  I checked some other Eps in On Demand and they all have an option to Record.
 
 Is this a bug or is there something special about the Ep in question?

 |  Its because Criminal Minds S10E01 has already been sent to the box , basically the Old Showcase section for those who don't have their boxes connected to On Demand.

Thanks for the explanation, I have never come across the situation before.  
  
On further investigation I noticed only the HD version is affected so I am now downloading the SD version.
