Hi,

My friend has just come over with his Sky HD box and we have tried it on my dish, but I am unable to set up series link - when you press record on the EPG it does not give you the option to record once or whole series.

He had no problem with this in the uk, I thought that it could be a problem with the EPG data stream, but a Thomson box does do series link and that must be using the same stream (unless the thomsons tuner is that much better). Any ideas?:confused:
 
Make sure you are running the latest version. Should apply for future recordings I believe and not those already in your planner.
 
Is there a site that lists all models of Sky, Sky + and Sky+HD current software versions? Did search, but didn´t come up with anything.
 
The Samsung has a number of problems, and series linking is probably the least of his issues. Tbh, I am surprised it is working at all.

Yes, I've had two Samsung rx's go down in the heat over there recently.
 
Well just to keep you up to date. Did a rebuild, forced update etc. Left it overnight (as it takes a while to populate the EPG here) and now series link working ok. No other problems with the box (at mo). I brought a couple of these Samsungs over to test for myself, but one has a lapsed card, the other no card, and the two white cards I have won´t wake up in any box I put them in, so I don´t know if these Samsungs + functions work or not.

Thats because when you move the box to a different location or have not used the box for some time it needs to refresh the EPG listings (force update and rebuild planner does not refresh the EPG). It does this during the night (3am I think) and until this happens you get no fully working series link. You can force it to refresh the listings by doing a reset of the box (can't remember how to do this but its on the internet) I think.
