I have just tried this out and it just scheduled one recording for WR on BBC1 HD - so it looks like the fault is sorted or was specific to that box if not user error.

And unlike V+ it will now (shudder the thought) record every series of WR without me having to

a) realise a new series is starting
b) set up a new series pass

It will also proactively record and suggest lots of other content like Waterloo Road which I may not otherwise have discovered!

Yikes off to cancel a season pass!

I prefer how the tv catchup menus work on the V+ though and the fact you can search for things specifically in tv catchup.

Yes I know you can search for it in the general tv listings and go through to it that way but it doesnt seem to work and I have to trawl through episodes to get to the one I want and then it only gives me the option to go to on demand anyway screen anyway to search for it manually... again another thing that hasnt impressed me or flat mates. IN the advertising video that I showed them everyone was like wow but its so long winded.

WHen I was showing it to my flat mates tonight all these little things that should be working that are not have not impressed them and they think I am daft to have spent this ammount of money on something that has a longer way round of doing things than the V+.
On the point about the EPG when you first get it the data is stored day by day ie in 3 days time you will have 3 days backwards EPG. It will never be an issue after the initial install.

You also have to wait for the programmes which will appear in catchup to be added (as you do with V+). i think its usually 24 hours. So in a couple of days you will certainly be able to play anything marked with a c in todays EPG straight from the EPG.

Hope that helps.
