Sometimes when we attempt to record a BBC programme that is in the schedule to be broadcast at a future date/time the recorder will not permit us to do so, indicating that it is available on BBC iPlayer and asking if we want to watch it on iPlayer now.
1. This is not always desirable because depending on broadband performance viewing quality may be worse than watching a recording.
2. The future availability of programmes on iPlayer is not guaranteed because the BBC remove them at unpredictable intervals.
3. My TV is capable of playing back iPlayer, I bought the Aura to record things. I don''t want a recorder overriding my wishes and telling me what to do.
Is there a way to override the recorder's insistence that we use iPlayer? I checked the full manual and all the settings on the device and could find nothing. This characteristic is not even mentioned in the manual.
