I gave a reason why somebody might want to set up a series link for a series that isn't currently showing.
So can you set up a series link on TV360 for something that isn't currently showing and in the EPG? That was the original question. It was about moving from V6/TiVo to V6/TV360.

I think you are confusing things somewhat. If you have a series link on the TiVo, you’ll lose it when you change boxes or convert to 360 software. You cannot avoid that.

But your other question was whether you can set up a series link if the series isn’t scheduled, and the answer to that is no. If you are changing boxes or your software to the 360, the recordings you had that are no longer on the EPG will still be available on demand as long as they are not too old. When I changed over, I captured all my unwatched recordings that way.

Finally, I agree with those who have commented on the series links that once you have created one, it stays on there for that channel. So it will pick up any new series automatically. There is no two-week cutoff, I don’t know where you got that from.

So add it to your watchlist via on demand.

There is a separate row of tiles on the Home page titled ‘Recommended for you’.

That will be the norm with all providers.
