Indeed - I'm not sure how many series links it's "common" to have, but I've got about ~160, and vaguely order them as...

Channel 4/Channel 5/ITV-HD stuff with no repeats
BBC HD with no repeats
Channel/Channel 5/ITV non-HD with no repeats
Any terrestrial channel with repeat showings
Sky/Discovery/etc with multiple repeats

..for the same reason as arcimedes mentions. Then check the "my series link" list once a week or so for where, say, a Sky-1 show might be repeated on Sky-2 etc.
