cannot Record BBC Local News

I have tried unsuccessfully to record my local TV channel [BBC 1 Wales] 6.30PM. I can put it in the schedule ok. I can record channels before and after OK. There is no overlap on recordings. No problems with other programs. Bizarre! Any ideas would be most welcome.
thanks

BBC clearly don't send the programme running status flags for local news. Go into the schedule and edit the repeat pattern (and pad the times if you wish) to convert it into a manual repeating recording reservation

it's not just the news, they don't send the flags for other local programs e.g high hopes will not record when set on the epg.

Hi Ray

Just checked BBC 1 Wales the national news has both series and prog crids and the local news has only a series crid which is a known problem when trying to set a series recording

I had no problems setting up a recording for High Hopes two weeks running. Although with the last one the end was cut off.
