Question on Tivo Series Record Icons
 
I have just got my Tivo which is great but Ihave a question about the Tivo Series Record Icons.

I set a few different series recordings and they don't all show the same icons in the recodings list, even though if I go into the series recordings they all have the same settings as far as ican see.

Some show the stacked R icon and some show just a tick.

Does anyone know what the difference is & why some are like that.

A stacked R signifies a series link where a tick shows it is a one off recording.

Thats what I thought, but when i go into the recording it says it is set to a series link & gives the episodes.

Very strange

Could you have originally set it as a one-off then later changed to a series link?

What does the TV screen icon mean in regards to series links?

Where are you seeing it? The only TV screen icon I can think of is in Search, when it finds a programme that is going to be shown on TV.

This is when you go the the planned recordings menu. I think it still gives you the series link option if you have already set one up. When you click through it will give you options for changing the series think IIRC.

Yeah, it sometimes appears in the 'my planned recordings' menu. I've just taken a picture that I will upload it later if nobody else has seen the icon before. :)

Just got TIVO and setting up series link seems to be a nightmare...I go into change the options and then press ok.....all it does is go back to the previous menu and not hold any of the settings. I know I must be doing something wrong but I just need to know how to set up series links and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

You need to select the top option 'Record Series Link with these options' after you've altered them

I had one appear yesterday and that was for a series link I set via remote record.
