Malaysian F1 split over two channels on Sunday?
If I understand the EPG correctly the F1 on Sunday starts on BBC1 and then moves to BBC 2 half way through the transmission. Series link of course will not handle the channel change. Thus I have set two individual recordings to cover the whole race. If it was me I would have cancelled Bargin Hunt and put the religious stuff on BBC2, but I'm not earning mega dosh at the BBC!
Other F1 fans may wish to set individual recordings to ensure they are not left with only half the race. |

Seems that we will have religion stuffed down our necks whether we want it or not.
Religious nutter stuff could have quite easily been put on BBC2. Why MUST people have this fictional rubbish promoted and taking any sort of importance? |

This has to be the weirdest decision taken yet- I'm tempted to just watch it on the iPlayer but as I post on another site while watching I guess this won't be possible

Thank you for pointing that out. My HDR would not have recorded the end part. I must have a look at my Toppy which schedules recordings based on a name search, so that may have worked. (The Toppy got it wrong last weekend because of the clock change, and some other settings that I have.)

This is a common BBC ploy.
They often split things like the Grand National even Wimbledon The annoying thing is you don't know when, so give your self plenty of header and tail. I wouldn't trust the EPG data. |

It is not a question of sport or religion, or any other genre, it's the idiotic way the BBC find it acceptable to split programmes unnecessarily.
Having regained F1 a season ago I wondered how long it would be before they messed it about. |

Would have been far simpler for the BBC to just schedule the F1 on BBC2 instead of splitting it over two channels, a good job they just didn't leave the BBC2 schedule in place have BBC1 schedule as a normal non F1 weekend one and put the F1 on the Red Button.

I had a series link for Alan Carr on Thursday nights and although it was set for ch4 at 10:00 a couple of weeks there was a clash and it was clever enough to record ch4+1 at 11:00 without any intervention. I know ch4 and ch4+1 would have had a different series CRID but the same program CRID (hence recording the alternative) so surely it is clever enough to handle the same series CRID across multiple channels

Alternatively you could get out of your pit instead of stinking in bed Sunday morning and watch the race live.

Best advice is to set a hammock timer for BBC1 and for BBC2 for the whole morning. |
