Hi, I have a Aura 2TB, I don’t like the way on the program guide on some BBC programs I can’t record (circle with a red triangle in it) then on the Aura and have to set them to watch via the BBC I player.

It’s there a way to stop this.

Thanks, Andy.

There is a setting you can change which will stop it from automatically opening the iPlayer and allow you to set to record.

Press the Freeview button on the remote, go to Settings at the top of the screen (gear/ cog) symbol.

Click on Channel & Broadcast scroll down to OK Default Function. I think by default it is set to Play Content.

Select Open Information page.

Now when opening up the EPG when selecting a programme you are interested in that has the red triangle play symbol if you press the OK button it will now give you the Record or Remind options rather than opening up the iPlayer or other app.
