May be you go through a worm hole to another universe :Yikes:

Re: Is there a max of 1,000 series links?
 

The majority are inactive remnants from Radio 4 short form series as one of the USP's of TiVo is that it will use these to start a new series without any user intervention.

Re: Is there a max of 1,000 series links?
 

If the links are stored on the HDD I suspect the limit would be 32,767. Can't see the programmer using more than an int (Signed 16 bit) to number them.

Re: Is there a max of 1,000 series links?
 

I'd hope they'd use an unsigned 32-bit integer for anything like that. It's a 32-bit processor, and you can't have a negative number of series links. Using a signed integer to hold a count is just asking for bugs.

:tu:

Mind you they did use a signed number in the SH to count the RS errors.

Did some experimenting today.

It appears that you can go over 1,000 series links, but, this causes a problem as after number 999 the last one is labelled as 100 and no more are displayed.

This means that any series links after 1,000 are unmanageable ie if you add more they are not displayed and therefore cannot be deleted, prioritised etc.

So the answer seems to be that you can add more, but unless some are deleted you aren't able to, say, prioritise a new series that you particularly want to see.

I'm going to have to decide whether to delete some series that I don't think will ever return or that I'm not too bothered about (and as has been mentioned this will have the advantage that the V6 won't be wasting resources checking the dead links) or just carry on as normal and hope that the 6 tuners will mean that no programmes fail to record because I can't prioritise them.

I'll probably just carry on as I have been as it will save the laborious task of manually deleting stuff and returning series will be recorded automatically.

Regularly checking Planned Recordings should deal with any clashes (which I do anyway).

Whilst I have more than the norm for an average user, I think that this problem will eventually affect more people with the passage of time (particularly in larger households) as I doubt most people bother to cancel a SL when a series has ended.

Out of interest, do those with hardly any series links routinely cancel their SL's or is it simply because you don't use the feature very much?

Re: Is there a max of 1,000 series links?
 

I cancel and remove them once they have done there job, i have 20 at the moment. V6 box btw

Re: Is there a max of 1,000 series links?
 

Interesting. Up until now I've always left them as one of the USP's of TiVo is that it will automatically pick up when a new series starts.

In the light of this 1,000 thing I may have to follow suit!

You may reach a new level which unlocks Sky Atlantic and Sports UHD :p:

Re: Is there a max of 1,000 series links?
 

I think for normal usage you can just leave them. I think the way you use your box is unusual and if I were you, I would now take out all the links which you are unlikely to need in the future.
