I'm not sure whether this post should be in this forum or the Freeview forum so apologies if this is the wrong one.
I'm having real problems trying to do something so simple it's untrue, namely I wish to be able to record TV series from the TV using Freeview play and a connected 1TB HDD. I can record straight from Freeview play's EPG with no problem however if its a series it'll only record the one event not the next episode later in the week or next week. If using the remote and from the menu select timer/ Timer Programming it will show existing scheduled recordings and will allow me to change the device/channel/start and end times but not the date field to select the series sequence. These recordings become guided recordings so that if the broadcaster changes the scheduled time the recording stays in sync.
However if I manually select the device, programme, and date I then have the option of setting the series recording. But in doing so lose the advantage of having the recording synced to the actual broadcasted time in the event that it changes, this seems ludicrous or is it me? Surely in this day and age you should and would expect to be able to record a program series and have it recorded at the time the broadcaster broadcasts it.
