I've had Sky Stream for a few months now and I can only think of one occasion where I've missed the ability to record - I think it might've been an episode of Taskmaster perhaps where for some reason 'restart programme' wasn't working and the episode hadn't gone up on the Channel 4 app yet either.

Obviously incredibly frustrating when something like that does happen but it's very rare. Most of the time it's very easy and quick to find the stuff we want to watch.

I tend to agree with you in a way: I think it’s more of a perception issue rather than a “real” access to programmes issue. Yes, the playlist will allow you to “record” most things and add them to your personalised programming list, but a large number of people are still so used to the process of traditional “recording” that the lack of it will probably put them off.

So it’s probably still an issue, but maybe more in theory than in practicality.
