Sky+ series link doesn't work...
 
I watch The'70sShow, but always record it and have it series linked.

...but annoyingly I have to put it back into the sky+ planner every week. Even tho I series link each episode it never retains the same time recording.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me! :(


It's on at 9pm each night on Paramount I think...

Series links are inserted by the channel and not by Sky so it looks as if Paramount aren't doing the job right.

I have a Sony VTX 750u Receiver and a Panasonic DMR-HS2 DVD RECORDER. I have recently found that the series link for Emmerdale also doesn't work. (Recording for the wife not myself!!)

odd.... gem, my partner, has emmerdale on series link and it works fine....... :S

Sorry cas, i dont record the same prog as you, i know that the epg can only see 7 days in advance, so if the program is not on in the next 7 days then it cant see it to set a series link for it.

ITV did have problems with the series links for Emmerdale and Coronation Street a few weeks ago but it may only have been some regions that were affected. Series links are not limited to the 7 day EPG and can be set for programs that only appear once a month as long as the channel operator has set the data correctly.

There is an old article on Sky+ at http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/displayarticle.php?id=6105 which mentions series links. A newer article is at http://www.skypressoffice.co.uk/SkyP...le.asp?ID=1516 Battlestar Galactica has had some problems with series links in the past so I would check to see if it appears on the planner a couple of days before it is due. I have had series links set for programmes that have had a short break and they have disapppeared from the planner but reappeared before the next episode.
