There should be an option to go back to the names under the Green button when in the EPG.

I can see that this may be useful, but most of my Series Links have been reset to show both recordings and VOD content.
This has meant that I have had to go through every single one, some for series that have ended or ones that I have deleted because I have already watched them. This took a very, very long time to correct, but it had to be done as I didn't know which were recordings or a notification of VOD availability.
I think it would have been far better to have let customers change the setting for themselves if they wanted to receive notifications of VOD content being added.

Existing series links should have remained the same and only be set to recordings. New Series Links are set to be Streaming and Recording, but you can change this in the Series Link+ default options.
There is an option under the blue button when in a My Shows folder to change the view to only show recordings, rather than Recordings and Streaming / VOD.
To help identification recordings, whether planned or Suggestions, will have an 'R' icon next to them (the 'R' icon is slightly different for planned and suggested recordings the same as before). Available episodes from streaming sources don't have an icon next to them.

- Instead of setting series links for various channels, you can now set it to 'All'. This is an excellent idea, but not perfect and selecting this option needs to be considered carefully.
For example, I like to record some things from Radio 4. I set this to 'All', as sometimes the programmes are repeated on Radio 4 Extra (I always thought that this was an archive station ) as this can help with clashes.
The trouble is that doing this can cause problems as it wants to record the same programme at the same time on Radio 4 FM and Radio 4 LW!
The same goes for BBC1- it wants to record the same programme on HD, SD, AD, England, Wales, Scotland etc!
I can see it could be useful if you aren't sure which channel programming will be on. Eg I like 'My Cat From Hell' on Animal Planet, but sometimes it is shown on other channels too.

It should only record the programme episode once based on the Series Link+ preference even if it's looking across multiple channels - as long as there is appropriate show information. As previously with TiVo, if there is no episode information it possible it will default to record all available showings as it can't tell whether it already has or not.
If you've got the Series Link set to 'New and Reruns' then you will get episodes from each of the channels the programme is on, just as you would have previously got older episodes from the same channel.
