Recording on TV Box

Setting up recordings can most easily be done using you box remote  from the box EPG  or from a paired mobile device using the EETV app.

EETV powered by YouView have a  system  called Accurate Recording, where the broadcasters send the Start and Stop signals for each programme, and so can theoretically adjust when they send these to cover the actual start and stop times of the programmes, should they depart from the published schedule.

The trouble is, most of them don’t do this, so if a programme overruns the published schedule, it is cut off at the scheduled time.

The workaround, for any programme where you absolutely mustn’t miss the end, is to record the programme straight after it, because the Stop for your programme is also the Start for the next one, so your missing bit will be on the front of that next programme.

If the box realises that an incomplete recording has occured  (partial recordings) or failed to record it will attempt to schedule a subsequent recording at a later time if the programme is rebroadcast,

Thanks everybody for your info.

I came back to mark a solution only to find one is already marked as solution 😀

Yes, of course you can record on both types at the same time, but it depends on the capabilities of the set-top box. First of all, you will need a device that supports two tuners. One for antenna and one for IP or streaming channels. Then you can schedule recordings on both without conflicts.
