Error message on TV Guide

I used to be able to record TV programmes via the Sky TV Guide app on my Mac (OS 12.6.3) on Safari.

Nowadays when I try to it shows an error message and it doesn't record. (I can successfully set recordings manually in the normal way.)

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Does it error if you try setting the recording from the HD version of the channel ?

Hi caesarome

I just checked and it still shows an error when I try and record using the application, which looks like the screen shot attached on my MacBook Pro.

Regards,

Derek

Is your region correct as it is set to London HD ?

No my region is Meridian South East (I think – how do I double check?)

I set it to Meridian South East SD and then Meridian South East HD and still got an error message for both.

Thanks for trying to help!

This could be your issue as on that screenshot you posted it it set to London HD so try changing it and then see if you can set a recording.

Yes, I did change it to that region as mentioned, but it didn't work. How do I double check which region I'm in? I'm seven miles from Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

It probably needs changing to either Meridian East, North or South HD so try each one of these to see if it then works for you., you can do that here:

Re: Error message on TV Guide

Nope, didnt work on any of them.  Maybe I should try the old trick of unistalling the app and reinstalling it again.  What do you think?

So you are using the website and not an app, did you try all the Meridians, so Noth, South and East ?
