Similarly, if you are watching a programme through series link on a recording, as long as you don’t actually cancel the series link, that programme will automatically appear as well with the next series. And, what is more, you will see those recordings appear on your Home Screen to alert you (under ‘recordings’).
You are used to doing things in a certain way, but I am afraid we all have to adapt with new technology. You can still find what you want when it’s on and you can keep your series links open for every new series that come on. There is a workaround available, but I can see that you just want to carry on doing things the way you have become used to. Fair enough.

You seem to be comparing something that's not at all the same and then going, there you go, it's basically the same. The whole point about moaning about the series links on the 360 is because its terrible. I want to be able to set a series link and just leave it knowing it will record a new series 9 months later, which if it isn't in the schedule, won't work. The watchlist does not do this and is a terrible workaround if you don't use the homescreen.
I want to adapt to new technology, new technology should be better and easier for the end user and for series links, it simply isn't. It's not about wanting to carry on doing things that I'm used to, it's your workaround isn't doing what I want the series link to do.
