The SL of TV 360 cannot work like a V6's as the latter is based on six tuners whereas Horizon 4, which runs Liberty Global's boxes including the TV 360, is cloud-based with no concept of physical tuners. However, cloud recordings are not allowed in the UK, so LG/VM came up with the best solution (or least worst depending on how you look at it): the Horizon software/platform was adapted to support local DVR recording - but without trying to make it look like TiVo. As a result the box processes recording requests in time order, not priority order, and does not reorder or reprioritise series like TiVo does.

Frankly it would have made zero sense to invest significant resources to build a complex fix for a dying use case (heavy linear tuner recording) whilst catch-up is rapidly expanding.

As a workaround I suggest recording only new episodes, reduce padding e.g. Start early to 0–1 minutes and Stop late to 0–2 minutes, and forget about SL for programmes with catch-up.
