Why can’t I record a catchup stream?

by davewalsh

Using MyTvOnline on Formuler Z7+. Sub has catchup. It seems to me that I should be able to record a catchup stream that I am watching, but I can’t. Why not?

Not trying to be a jerk, but why would you want to?

If its available on Catchup why record it?

You can find virtually any show or sporting event using kodi addons or Terrarium if its more than 24 hours old. The only realistic use of a PVR anymore is to record something that you can’t watch live that isn’t broadcast on a channel with Catchup and that you want to watch on the same day.

Or is it something you want to save for posterity?

Probably a limitation of the DOL app itself more than anything. Maybe it views the catchup as already recorded content - like if you were trying to playback a recording and tried to record it again.
