I bought a 32 inch sony bravia tv. But can not set the programme timer. It just keeps saying programme not available. What am i doing wrong

Hi @Jo10toe   We need the full model number to comment. It will start with KD or XR.

What are you trying to set exactly, and is it covered by one of the links above, into the web manual for your TV?

[Jo10toe]

I just want to be able to see a future programme on the guide. And set a reminder on it to start automatucally when its time for it to start 

Hope that makes sense

I press the ok button as i do on the other sony bravia we have but it just says programme not available. Or something along those lines.

Complete sense, but you said it yourself, not a Timer, but a Reminder.

It looks like to set a reminder, you schedule a Recording, and then change the Schedule Type to Reminder.

I have seen better UIs 😢

It let me change from record to reminder. But then it reverted back to record. So still doesn.t work. 

But thank you for trying to help

That’s a shame  - we found the feature at least, but it doesn’t actually seem to work 😢

There wasn’t a Save you should have pressed, was there?

But not having a roomful of different Sony TVs, I can only rely on what the published manuals say.

However, you should be able to as well - if you are setting Reminder and having it revert to Record, then this sounds like a bug in this TV’s software.

Which you, or possibly one of the Sony people who monitor this Community, should pick up and report, so it can be fixed.

I hope so. I was considering factory reset and starting from scratch. I set up the 43 inch we bought at weekend in 5 mins. Easy. This one durung set up was all over the place. Theres no youview or alternative live tv on it. Noticed that last night. So defo sounds like a software thing. Thank you for your help

Hey @Jo10toe 

It sounds like a software issue, so did you try checking if its software is up-to-date? https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/lcd-tvs-android-w80x-series/kd-32w800/software/00300768
