I've just had two V6 STBs installed today and I'm wondering if somebody could help me with a couple of questions.

Firstly...My Shows. I have nothing recorded yet, but have set up a few series links for programmes on later in the week. When I go into My Shows there are folders for these programmes, and when I go into each they are empty (I pressed the blue button (I think), so it only shows items recorded). However, is there any way of hiding the folder until something has been recorded. It's very confusing having folders of programme names, but there is nothing actually in them to watch.

The other question is around the linking of the two boxes. Engineer never mentioned anything about this, but after he had gone and I started playing around I noticed each box shows in the other box's menu. And I was able to select them and view 'My Shows' in the other box. I would have thought this would be off by default. Can you confirm how you can switch this feature off? And is it easy enough to just switch it on when you want to use the feature or does it have to remain on once it's activated?

Thanks
The folder gets occupied with data once a show is recorded. You will know whether or not you have recordings in the folder because the number of recordings will appear in brackets after the title. Note, however, that programmes sucked in from on demand are not included in that number although they are present in the folder.

The linking of the boxes is an excellent feature, which you can choose to make use of or not, as the case may be. Unless you are trying to hide programmes on one box from your partner, I'm not really sure why you would want the boxes not to be connected in this way!
