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.

Hi Joe,
I recently noticed that this functionality is no longer available in my app (Android). When I tap on a show, record is no longer an option that is listed. The instructions you listed below for the app now leads to an unavailable page (404 error).

Was this functionality removed from the app? How can I schedule a recording from the Xfinity steam app?

Then Comcast should give us the ability to watch all remotely on a regular TV via Apple TV or similar until they get this fixed.  Or, the ability to download all shows remotely.

This is majorly annoying and diminishes the value of the service, which I already pay more than $300/month for.  There's other competitor options out there, and short a fix for this valuable function in the weeks to come, I'm going to find a better one.  LAME!!

Regardless of the reason, this is a shoddy example of customer service. This is part of the service that I pay for and have commited to for 2 years. Comcast should have sent out an explanation to customers and offered some geature for the truoble this might represent. This is an aspect of the product that heavily contributed to me keeping this very expensive service. I am a very disapointed customer

I wanted to activate the DVR to record a program while I was away from Home.  I fired up the Remote App on both my I Phone and I Pad but the Rec icon was gone, only tune to channel was visible.  Anyone else have this happen to them?

I’m wondering if with the recent changes related to the lawsuit has caused additional issues other than just no longer being able to record on the DVR remotely. 

I have just noticed (it may have been missing longer) that the third option on the TV Remote app -Priority List is gone. I then went to the DVR itself, and I can’t find it there either. 

What has happened. How do we know what shows we have set to record other than the scheduled to record option.

I used to be able to record upcoming shows on any channel no matter where I was. Now I cannot record networks while I am not in the local area?  Is it still possible to do this?
