Series Link Problem
mbatte
21-10-2009
Hi guys... Firstly I would like to say 'sorry if this has already been discussed!
I bought a Humax pvr last week - its an ex display model... its hardly been used and I got a 2 year warranty with it - bargain!
I installed the box, did a software update and it is working fine except for the series link function!.... when I go to the EPG and highlight a prog to record it does not give me the option for series link!... is this a fault or does it need a firmware update or something??

...Thanks in advance for the help!

You need to press the 'OK' button not the 'record' button. This will also give you the option to record HD streams if available

Hi, Pressing the OK button does not give me the option either!

Can we confirm you are talking about a Freesat Humax Foxsat HDR, and not one of their Freeview 9xxx PVRs?

The reason I ask, is that the Freeview versions disable Series Link if you use AutoPadding (instead of On Time on the 9xxxs).

If not this, I take it the programmes you are trying to set up are part of a Series?

Rgds.

Series Link is also dependent on the broadcaster sending that information, so perhaps you have been unlucky enough to select a programme without series link information? I would look for the small violet stack which appears on the right hand side of the top programme information on the EPG.

Check BBC1 as most items are linked there.

I think I was unlucky enough to choose programs that didn't have the series link function!!... DOH!
