Series Link

[Mattyroyal]

New to EE TV. Only had it set up a day and not likely to use the free channels too much to be honest however if you set a series link up will it pick it up when a new series starts. For example I have Ambulance set up now. When the next series starts will it be pick up and start recording automatically?

If the new Series uses the same Series CRID as the first series, and the new series starts within 18 (I think) weeks of the first series, then yes.

But personally, I’d keep my eye on it.

It hasn't worked for me. Each new series I've had to set it up to record the series again.

Tell me exactly what series (plural) you are talking about, and how many weeks elapse between one series and the next, and I will see if I can check the Series CRIDs for you.

If these are different, then the Box Pro will not recognise any link between them. It doesn’t recognise ‘Ambulance’ or any other textual item; it recognises only Series CRID to link the programmes in a Series, and Programme CRID to recognise each programme in the Series, so if it’s shown twice it can think to itself “I’ve had that one” and not record it twice.
