Can't set recordings from stream app

I can no longer use the app to set a recording. The record this program option does not come up?..

So I've read all of the posts about the legal issue and the removal of the remote recording function from the Comcast apps and desktop computers.  It seems the mods all suggest using On Demand (which is their answer for everything).  Can someone from Comcast please respond if they plan on putting all of the live sports on demand then?  It's a tedious process to use the set top box to set recordings, and the fact I could start recording a live sports event remotely was one of the primary selling points for me to stick with cable anyway since I'm mainly a sports viewer.  At the very least house all of the live sports On Demand and at least that would solve this temporarily.

no. Set up recordings while at home or have someone at home do them. recordings can be set up to 2 weeks in the future.

When will Comcast return the ability to record from xfinity remote

see the first post of page one of this thread for the best answer.

I’ve been trying for days to set up some recordings on my iPad and finally decided to look up why it wasn’t working. It’s pretty annoying since I was under the impression this was part of our package. Comcast/Xfinity is not cheap! What’s more frustrating is that we didn’t receive any notification about this and had to figure it out on our own. I’d really appreciate them figuring this out so we can get this option back!

please go to the top of page one of this thread and see the 'best answer'.

This is an important feature of your service. Waiting for an appellate ruling? That will be a year or more. How about paying a license fee to TiVo? How about refunding some of our monthly fees. I will begin researching other competitors to see if they offer this feature.

Give us on demand option on stream app

on demand is available with your browse menu. 

How do you set a tv recording on an X1 DVR from a cell phone. I used to be able to do through the xfinity stream app but this may have been before I switched to the X1?

if you go to the first post on this thread the best answer gives the Comcast response.

I usually set up my DVR to record tv shows from my laptop at work.  I would browse through the TV listing on xfinity.com on my work laptop.  When I click on a TV show in the listings I used to get an option to set recording.  I no longer get that option.
