I think the latest V6 software update has introduced a problem with some Series Links.

It may well be a coincidence, but it didn't start until after I noticed that the box had rebooted overnight recently and we had the knew 20.9.1 software.

I know there's a thread about 20.9.1 already but that is focussed on YouTube App problems and I didn't want others with the same problem as me to not see my post because of the thread title and it's previous content.

Anyway twice I've had a successful Series Link for Suits on Paramount Network HD. As a newcomer to the series I'd set it up to record old episodes, and it was working both times. But then without warning it stopped recording, the episodes it should be recording weren't showing in My Planned Recordings.

The first time, earlier this week, after checking my settings, concluding they should work, I decided on a clean slate, deleted my Series Link and put it on again, same settings. And it worked until today.

Last night the show was showing fine in My Planned Recordings for this week, this morning it was gone. Last night I watched the last two recorded episodes of Suits in the folder and deleted them, as normal, at the end. As I had no reason to think the Series Link would stop working I didn't go to My Planned Recordings to check if it was going to work tomorrow, I'd seen it listed earlier in the day, so I put the box into standby.

This morning, all instances in My Planned Recordings are gone, the show is on every weekday at the moment so there are plenty it should have scheduled.

My V6 has lots of Series Links on, but all the other active ones are for New shows, not long running ones I'm new to and catching up. This one for Suits is the only one that is actively meant to be recording reruns, and since all my Series Links for New shows are working that is the most obvious difference I can see when trying to identify where the problem is.

Is anyone else having problems with Series Links on reruns?
