I have Series Record set to record Coronation Street on ITV-HD which it does faultlessly
however
every Friday it records Coronation Street at 9.30pm on ITV+1 for which I have never set the timer.
I have checked Scheduled Recordings and nothing is set for any time to record anything on ITV+1

It's a minor annoyance but I just wondered why it does this

As well as or instead of recording that episode from ITV?

The 8.30pm episode is recorded from ITV-HD as usual but persists in also recording the ITV+1 showing at 9.30pm

I have nothing set to record from ITV+1 (or ITV) at any time yet it always records Coronation Street on ITV+1 at 9.30pm every Friday.

Nothing else is recorded by the box from ITV+1 or any other channel for which the timer has not been set.

As far as ITV or BBC channels are concerned I always record the HD versions never SD

I'd delete your scheduled recording, and then set the series link again and see if that sorts the problem

Should have mentioned that I've tried that and it still happens

I occasionally get this on ITV HD and I suspect it may have something to do with the broadcaster failing to send the accurate recording signals properly or making mistakes in the metadata sent about each programme.

That's my conclusion too.
It's no biggie just slightly annoying

This will also happen if the box fails to record the whole episode. It looks for the next broadcast automatically and records it, even if it only misses a few seconds.
