While we improve this feature, please use the channel tune function: "Hey Google, tune to channel 101 on ‹device nickname›" or "Hey Google, tune to CTV on ‹device nickname›”. Google Assistant says “recording” while the screen may say “this program cannot be recorded” when you attempt to record on an unsubscribed channel or On Demand content. We are working to align the verbal message from Google and the on screen message.
