Humax HDR - Series links

I thought it might mean Series Link but now I'm just confused. This icon appears against Unsolved Mysteries on CBS Reality but I have never been offered the option of recording the entire series. It also appears alongside 'The Story of Science:..' on BBC Four but I don't get the series record option for that either.
Both of these items have Series Link available on Sky so is this a box or Freesat problem?
I've tried several other items and it's very hit and miss (more miss than hit) as to whether I get offered the series record option.”

The problem turned out to be confusion between pressing [Record] and pressing [Ok]. Maybe Humax could think about changing that aspect of the UI as it's not very logical. It's particularly confusing for Sky + subscribers since [Ok] for a Sky box just sets a viewing reminder.

I agree.
The two buttons don't even work in a consistent way. Very poor UI design. It's obviously not a Humax strong point.
Pressing Play to set a Watch Timer and Record to set a Record Timer and OK to display a menu of available options is the one true way.

No-one's mentioned 'Opt+' yet
You mean the magic key that you would expect to give you all available options at all times but mostly says Φ ?

Perhaps Sky could change their reminder?

Strewth, no. The fewer changes Sky make to their box software the better. At least with Humax there's a good chance that official releases will be an overall improvement. Sky's last official release nearly crippled my box. It was only saved by a beta release
