Confirmed, the HD/SD preference is only available if "channels=any" is selected, otherwise it takes the preference from the channel selected - entirely sensible.

Another for the "I wonder" section.. so you set a series-link+ after the first episode of a given series has shown, while it's available on VOD/Catchup but before a re-run is shown. You choose the "recordings and streaming" option - great, it'll link the VOD option for episode 1 and schedule recordings for subsequent episodes.

Will it also schedule a recording of episode 1's repeat if possible? i.e. keep the VOD option as an insurance rather than preference?

Edit: Another oddity I've come across - I amended an old 4-Seven series link to cover all-channels and see if the scheduler picked up an earlier showing on C4/C4+1 or such. It's recorded 852 (C4 AD) oddly enough. As best I can tell, it should only make a difference if you have alternate audio set to anything other than "English", but I'd have thought it would still take Channel 4 as first preference? Strange.
