I've had my TiVo installed today and I've got some questions about how it sets series links.

On my V+ Box, say if I set a series link for a program that is shown at 21:30, then it will only record the program at 21:30 however on the TiVo, it records the program whenever it is on which means I've got a lot of repeats in my planned recordings. I then changed the series link option to record only New episodes which are shown at 21:30 but the planned recordings still show repeats. Is there anyway of preventing the repeats so that TiVo only records the episodes as a series at 21:30?

Another thing about series links, I presumed with TiVo you can set a series link for anything. I tried setting a series link for a program that I know the V+ identifies as a series but TiVo only provides the option to record the program once. TiVo shows upcoming episodes of the show but it doesn't allow a series link to be set, why could this be?
