Freeview HD PVR Series Link Problems
Posted: Fri 11 Mar, 2011 23.04
Having acquired a Freeview HD PVR at the end of last year, we are experiencing a problem which I'm interested to know if anyone else shares.
The Freeview HD broadcasters seem to be very poor at updating their week ahead schedules at the same speed as they update their 'ordinary' channels (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4).
This means that if you 'series link' an HD programme when you set it to record, you only tend to get the next episode and no more.
This is because when the episode you're recording finishes, next week's episode isn't in the planner yet, so the box thinks the series has finished and doesn't schedule any more recordings.
If you schedule the same programme in SD (a bit pointless when you've invested in an HD box), then the series link works okay.
Any comments, anyone?
