It's been 4 years after the initial posting and this feat...

It's been 4 years after the initial posting and this feature still has not been put back. Surely with all the cloud technology this would have been solved by now. Clearly it is not on the Shaw To Do list. Disappointing...we just switched from Gateway boxes, which had their share of problems, but it was a great feature.

Just got blue curve today and thinking of checking out Bell because of luang this feature

Sorry typo! " Losing" we also lost the different fast forward buttons! We will be leaving Shaw and we have been customers for 40 years! I'll try calling Shaw tomorrow to see if there is any way these will be added! If not, adios!

@Pkcurtis1  This feature won’t make a comeback, you should check with the other providers to ensure they have it as well, before switching.

On the BlueCurve, just press "record" on the channel you are watching, before flipping to the other channel, and press "record" again.  Then, when you flip back to the first channel, you can "rewind" the recording, and when you flip to the second channel, you can "rewind" that channel, too.

Sure, that is a workaround, but most people won't remember to do that. There should be a buffer on x number of recent channels just like there was on Gateway. You can't even switch between players and continue where you left off. These should be standard PVR functions.

What a pain this would be , and would often forget to press record .

is there a new forum for 2024? I just found this and it would have helped me SO much to know that I haver empathy for the things Shaw changed with the remote control that absolutely frustrate me. I've had a Shaw rep guffaw and talk about "third world problems". Well, I suppose as a society, we are used to the things that we pay good money for to improve over time, not degrade. Taping a program is NOT a solution for watching something live and wanting to go back to see the final 4-5 minutes of a show! It's inconvenient, Much less enjoyable, and irritating that no one thought about this when structuring the new system. ugh!thank you.

@Betsy694 -- no, there is no "new" forum for 2024.

>>  I've had a Shaw rep guffaw and talk about "third world problems".

I think that they meant "first world problems" -- where first-world technology exceeds the capabilities of first-world people to understand/use the technology, and those first-world people kvetching about technology that is not available to third-world people.

If you want to watch multiple channels, press "record" before switching away from the first channel, tune to the second channel, and press "record" again.  This gives you the capability to repeatedly switch between channels, and "rewinding" on both channels.

I think that recording to the "cloud", instead of to the disk-drive inside the older PVRs, is an "upgrade", not a "downgrade".  Now, when your current TV hardware fails, and is replaced, you do NOT lose all your recorded (into the "cloud") content, as you would, when a failure of the older Gateway WOULD  lose your content.
