Can't set recordings from stream app
So this has happened to me before on occasion but not lately, but today I tried to set recordings for several different things using the xfinity stream app and for some reason today the option just isn't there. Over the weekend I also just happened to read that Comcast just lost a decision by the ITC in favor of Rovi in a patent suit saying that Comcast is infringing on Rovi's patent for the technology in the app that is used to set recordings on mobile devices for X1 set top boxes. So I'm just wondering is it just a coincidence that it's not even an option for me today and perhaps due to maintenance of some kind on the app, or did Comcast temporarily pull this technology from the app as a result of the ruling by the ITC? Thanks very much to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Due to a judicial ruling, we are disabling this feature while we pursue an appeal.

We are having the same issue - using the steam web portal, one cannot setup new recordings. We can view old recordings, and see scheduled recordings, but cannot set new recordings up.

How long will the record option be gone? Is this permanent or is Comcast actually working on finding a legal solution?

Just a couple of days ago according to the comcast rep I just talked to that there was a corporite disision to stop people from setting recrodings from their computers, you have to use a tv to set a recording. What about all of us who use a desktop computer as a tv. Way to go again comcast in sticking to the subscribers of your service. I shutter to think what you'll do when net neutrality dies.

Almost daily, I see something come across my desktop referencing an upcoming broadcast that I would like to see. So I get up from my computer, go downstairs, turn on my TV, and finally set my recording. This used to be so much easier. What a total PITA ! Come on Comcast, use some of that massive tax windfall you just received and pay off the patent troll (Tivo), or just buy the whole darn company. This would be so much better for all of us if we could just get the record feature back across all our various platforms. If you hurry, there's still time to avoid the last minute Christmas rush !

This is incredibly frustrating. The ability to set a recording away from home was by far the best feature of the app.

I used to be able to go to the tv listing on the computer and record programs and watch them on my TV, does anyone know why I can't do this any more?

Thanks for the answer. That's a loss for those of us who travel a lot and depended on that feature to record upcoming shows. If you can post more details about where to write to support the appeal, please do so.

This in a huge disapointment, we just go the service and are locked in for a year now. this is a critical feature, the interface on the x1 box is way to cumersome to use for search and record.
