Hi @landyannie,
Welcome to the community and thanks for taking the time to post on our forums.
Unfortunately that is how our demand content works works now, you can no longer see the programme, while recording as you used to be able to do.
I understand how frustrating this is because I feel the same, when trying to watch on demand, I have realised that the programme usually starts after about one minute, which you can see on the bar at the bottom of the screen.
Regards,
