Different show this time and it looks like it's going to happen next week too.

World's Most Scenic Railway Journeys. 4 recordings HD/SD/+1/AD.

The box is due to connect in 2 hours so I'll delete the duplicates for this week if that doesn't sort it. (I know I can connect manually but that give more time for the info at the other end to be fixed, if I just leave it for now.)
I've noticed a few gremlins with some C5 programs recently, and I think this was one of them.

They've been resolve in time for broadcast every time so far.

You could avoid the problem by changing the series link to only record from a single channel.

Re: Duplicate recordings glitch

Really the metadata should be correct. All these type of issues should be sent to: tivoguideerrors@virginmedia.co.uk

Changing series link+ to a single channel can cause issues further down the line.

The live Match of the Day this week only recorded the full match on a series link+ set to ALL channels. You would have missed half the match is set to a single channel.

I wasn't sure if the email still worked. Thanks.

Yes, it was set the same way as my previous sorted example in an earlier post on this thread.

Re: Duplicate recordings glitch

tivoguideerrors@virginmedia.co.uk does work and seems to be a speedy system too.
Sky have their own email address for their EPG issues and there are just as many - but fixes are not so frequent.
