I am getting there. At the moment, I feel I have to check absolutely everything I've set up a series link for because even though I've set it to record only new shows, it sometimes does the repeats that week as well, even though they're on at different times and sometimes even different series numbers! Then I have to go through the lot and delete the individual shows.
Mind you, I wish I'd done what Passingboat said and copied down all the shows I'd recorded on the old V+ box and transferred them to the Tivo. Never thought about it.
