Check out 'The Patriot' on five Sunday 18 May @21:00.....you will note the differnet colour in the EPG denoting a split.
I can't wait to get CSI on a SR timer! CSI:NY especially, as that has been jumping around like no business recently... are these ID-ed up Barry?
I don't watch five very often, so if you can post the time of the programme you want to set. I'll check out the data.
First glance it looks ok for neighbours etc.
CSI on Five - Tuesdays 21:00
CSI:NY on Five - Saturday 22:00
Looking good:
CSI on five - Tuesday is definitely linked, data looks good
CSI:NY on five - Saturdays data looks good.
My other half is getting a bit fretful;
Surely this isnt correct?
It might be, I dont watch it myself. But on the odd occasion Ive caught sight of my wife watching it, I must agree the dialect was rather strange
How strange, Ive got 2 Humax in the house and both exhibit the same problem. Series Link on "Neighbours" schedules an early morning, midday and evening program slot.
Having carried out further checks on the Crid data, all 3 episodes of neighbours shown daily have been annotated with the same Series Crid.
The first showing of a new episode is at 1345, repeated at 1735, and the next Day at 0535.... all the same programme crid....so
If you set a Series Timer tomorrows 1735 episode in the EPG.......you will actually find it has scheduled the 0535, and 1345 episodes, and thereafter only the 1345 episodes....
Thanks Barry, seems like my Humax is not alone in this matter. Is this something that is specific to Five? I'm confused now
It is not easy to get your head round (and I don't mean to be rude)
If you set it as per my post #13 then yes, after intially recording the 0545 episode, and then the 1345 epsiode, it will be 1345 thereafter as this is the first showing of a new episode.
Remember although there are 3 showings a Day, the first showing of the latest is at 1345, repeated at 1745, and the next day 0535
Im just going to run with it and see what records.
Thanks everyone for all your comments.
Glenn.
On a similar note to the recording of Neighbours above, As a test I set it to record Home & Away, I set it to record the 6pm showing on Five and selected series record, this automatically sets it to record the early morning showing on Fiver
Not sure what it will record as cannot check at the moment, but should it only look at the channel you schedule or accross all, seems like it checks Five & Fiver and just schedules the latest regarless of channel
Select H&A 6pm on Five, sets the link on H&A at 10:30am on Fiver
Cheers for the quick reply, is this how it should be or is it a mistake ?
Now this is what ITV should be doing but still cant get it right.Come on ITV pull your finger out.
I never thought we would see Series Links on Fives channels any time soon so this is good news. And the fact that they have given out correct Split Event data is even better news.
Ive set it to record and all looks fine at the moment so im now looking forward to see if I get full recordings of both parts.
I see that ITV have now got Split Events working as they should be.
Both This Morning and 2 fast 2 furious set fine when selecting either series or one programme.
Maybe they should make it a clause in the Freeview carriage contracts that all companies should carry series data
But nice to see Five have now joined in, it'll be good when the new series of CSI makes an appearance
I just checked and you are right... I wonder why it is a Series too? Will ITV subsquently ID all split films with the same series id? I will try scheduling this as a one off and see if the Humax auto play out the two parts...
I noticed that the beeb have flagged the current run of Indiana Jones films as a series which is quite handy, maybe it is something like that, a run of related films (or which they think are related in some way at least).
When I choose Series Record for this it also selects the repeat of this episode on 18/05 23:00-00:00 i.e 60 minutes.
Is the time difference in the schedule responsible for this duplication or will I now get recordings of all the broadcasts of every episode?
