Does ITV not know how to set up CRIDs?
I have a major annoyance at the moment. I set the new Midsomer Murders (normally on Weds evenings, I think - though football this week) to series record since it clashes with BBC stuff I want to watch and I kept missing it.
It's not available on ITV player for some reason, so that's not an option (even though I would only ever use ITV player in an "emergency"). However, they have assigned the same CRID to the new transmissions as they have to the daily afternoon repeats. Consequently, I was getting a load of recordings I didn't want, and ended up cancelling the series record. Do ITV really not have the nous to set separate CRIDS for what are in fact totally different programme series? |

Can't check at the moment because it's not on tonight. However the repeat should have the same series crid and the same programme crid as the first transmission.
A freesat+ box should ignore the repeat because it has the same programme crid as the one it's just recorded. |

No - you've misunderstood (or maybe I should have explained it better).
The afternoon repeats are not repeats of the current (new) series - they are repeats of MM's from ages ago. |

Had to get it by alternative means. |

Five dont know how to do it either, the weekend repeats of programs end up getting recorded too.

Depends what you mean by a 'screw up' - I suspect it's doing exactly what ITV want it to,
If it was available on ITV player it wouldn't be so bad - although as I indicated earlier, I hate having to use that simply because you have to sit through the ads, plus not being available on Freesat or Sony Home Cinema (like iPLayer), I have to watch it on my PC. |

What is the logic behind ITV doing that?
A previous one that I missed because of it, I watched on ITV Player a few days later. |

I didn't appear until a few days afterwards - I thought it wasn't coming on as well.
