Series Link manager ? NO

You edit series links directly within the recordings folder

TV 360 is a Sky Q Equivalent rather than TiVo

[SonicMaster]

The series recording functionality on the 360 is perfectly acceptable.

Choose the show you want to record. Press the record button. A record pop-up appears. You’ll be asked whether you want to record the series or individual episode. Press OK.

You can customise the buffer time either side of the recording. You can easily view upcoming recordings and you can browse existing recordings.

If the box records the same episode more than once (which it sometimes does) you just delete it. Really not a major issue.

Isn't just the TiVo license

They started to save money when TNT Sports wholesale deal ended and less less subscribers had it included, full cost was at least £120m per year

Thanks SonicMaster

Random question, can you set series links up for shows that are not in the guide at the moment?

Just thinking about ways of manually transfering all series links over from TiVo to 360 without having to remember to set it when the show is back on.

I'm sure someone once told me no when I asked before, hopefully this has changed

No it hasn't changed. Just take photos of the ones you have and add them as they appear on the 360. Same as if you moved to Sky or BT etc

Wow

You can series link any programme, and all the series links on programmes you have recorded are shown in your recordings. Why would you want to gawp at the series links of programmes you have already watched but not deleted?

It’s a genuine question - I don’t know why anyone would want to do that.

Eg You set up a series link for when series one was shown and are waiting for series two to come along.
IIRC TV360 series link only works for the next 2 weeks and for things that are in the EPG, so if there is a break as with US TV series and their mid- season breaks, the link is lost.

[TimeLord2018]

This isn't correct, it doesn't just show when there is no upcoming recordings in the next 2 weeks.

Series link is still active

You would however have set up a new series link if something moves channel , which only seem to happen with BBC or Sky.

Not true at all. 360 will pick up a series link after any length of time on the same channel. You just don't a a visual list but then again why would you need it?

[nomadking]

Perhaps I've misunderstood somebody's comment about TV360 and series links.
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.
