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.

Call this another protest that I can’t set a recording from my phone. When my 2 year contract is up I’ll switch to something that gives me this capability. Comcast should pay a license fee if that’s what it takes to give this back to subscribers.

That functionality has been removed from our apps. If you’re away from your DVR box and cannot schedule a recording and miss a show, check to see if it’s available on XFINITY On Demand! We apologize for the inconvenience.

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

  • Why can’t I record directly from my iPad anymore?  It’s been a while but we use to be able to.  It doesn’t have the record button.

Why wasn't I notified that I cannot remotely set recordings? You apparantly have had over a year to notify me, but I had to come to the forums to find out. Comcast you are selling lies.

I use my computer for watching cable channels.  I have nbeen unable to record for about 6-9 months.  I can use on demand but I have to start the program, it's laggy i then close browser and restart it and it's fine.

 

I know I can't pause live when using onlne streaming,  but I'd like to be able to record again.
