Hammerer:

 

Yes, there are limitations on what can be recorded and blockbuster movies like Spectre have the most restrictions from the content providers.

 

The current info on the Vodafone TV webpage indicates the limitation but it is easy to miss that the content providers don't allow access to record every program for the FTA channels:

 

*Recording and 3 Day Rewind available on 90% of content. Recordings are stored for a limited time.

 

The best method to get to the start of a playing program is to press the OK button on the remote and select "Restart" button. If that button is not displayed then AFAIK there is no ability to record or rewind the show to get back to the start.

 

Of course, in normal business hours there is likely to be someone more knowledgeable who may be able to help and provide more info.

 

Pressing OK and selecting 'restart' was not an option on many channels last night, I was rather riled from the ear beating and sat and tested them. Recording of any programs (not just premium blockbuster material) across TV1, TV2 and THREE last night, wasn't a possibility either.

I'd go so far as to suggest that a '3-day rewind' was not an option across the board between 8pm and midnight. With the notable exception of Parliament TV, no channel would rewind beyond 40 minutes (or the start of the show), although the counter stopped counting back at 4 hours. Not sure where the "90% of content" claim comes from.
