Re: Setting Series Links - New Only

OK, I'll have a closer look at this although I am not quite sure that is entirely my issue.

I'll give another example. On Sky+ I have the Gadget Show set to record at 4.05 AM on a Thursday morning. I set a series link and it records every week at 4.05 AM.

Obviously with VM I now have access to Demand 5 (which means I don't have to record it), but let's say I still want to, so I go into set a series link, new only, and come out.

The TiVo will record the first episode at 4.05 AM but then wants to record an episode on a Saturday morning, Monday evening and so on.

All I want it to do is record The Gadget Show at 4.05 AM on a Thursday morning every week and record zero episodes of it on any other day or at any other time.

How do I get it to do that?

Why is this a problem you may ask? Well, it's really just a minor annoyance in respect of the Gadget Show but I have also been trying to record things like Ross Kemp & Terra Nova on Sky1HD, but because of the TiVo's insistence in recording episodes I don't want or need I keep getting warned of "cropping" because (I assume), of the padding and the fact I have other stuff set to record around the same time.

So I end up cancelling the Series Link because I don't understand why it is looking to record stuff I don't want!

Surely it should only record this stuff if it is set to "New & re-runs"?
