Sky Planner Series link is sh*t!

[vRS Carl]

What a fecking useless piece of crap.  

Unless a program is on at the same time, same day every week then it doesn't set a recording.

Case in point - I always record all the F1 Practices, Qualifying and Races in case I have to miss them live for some reason. However despite me setting a series link it never sets them to record unless they have, by chance, fallen to the same time as the previous week.

I used to think this was due to the BBC and ignored it, making sure i always checked it was set with the Sky Remote App. But now it's doing it with the Sky F1 channel it's obviously the software.

Surely it can't be that hard to sort out   But the lady in New Delhi that I spoke to earlier said there was nothing that could be done.

Murdoch you're a cnut


No doubt someone is going to point out I'm being a Mong now and tell me to alter something in the settings

[Chumba]

Ummmm... It's working fine for me and everyone else I know who's series linked the F1 on SKY ...

You sure you've not done something daft?!

[boxxer1973]

Do you have any other things recording at the same time ?  What's the status saying ? Possible program clash.

[Hedge]

Works on my Vermin Media Tivo box. 

[vRS Carl]

Nope no recording clashes.

I highlight, for example, the race, presse record, get the option box pop up saying "record once" or "record series" so I select record series.

Then I check in the planner and it's listed with the green arrow next to it for the series link.

When it then comes to the next race I have to do the same process all over again.

if you google the issue, your not the only one. The above link has fixed for a few people last year.

[vRS Carl]

Ta. I'll try that later

[Deako]

Are you deleting the recording before the programme starts? For example, if you know you will be watching it? This will then asse that you no longer want the series linking.

[vRS Carl]

No I only delete it once it's finished

I've noticed this on occasion - found a program moved or a special/extra show and it doesnt record it.  Oh and before it hasnt because the name of the show changed even though part of the series.

Is annoying.

Carl I did post a while ago about not setting up series link on remote record as sky are sorting the issue out. record it via your planner and not be lazy using your mobile  

untill sky have sorted the bug in the EPG, then if you do as I said, then you won't have any issues for the time being.

I'm not using Remote Record

This happens doing it through the planner

To make it clear:

I press TV Guide
Select program in the planner I want to record
Press record button on Sky Remote Control
Select series link in the pop up that appears
Press select
Press Sky button
Press play button
Scroll through planner to find program I have just set
Check it has green arrow next to it.
Works fine for the first set of Practice/Quali/Race

Next race I have to manually set it all again unless they happen to fall on the same times.

can you record two program's at the same time Carl?  what Is the model number in the details page bud?

[vRS Carl]

Yup I can record 2 progs at same time.

Hang on I'm having a dump.  I'll look in a minute for model details.

Too much info, would suggest leaving the iPad inthe living room, or perhaps that's your Ureka room
