PVRs and repeated programmes

For example, currently I have "24 Hours in A&E" set up for series link
on 4+1. But I see in the 9200T Recording schedule that not only is
today's 2200 programme down to be recorded, but tomorrow's 2200
programme on 4 (they are the same programmes - 9/14). What is odd is
that today's programme on 4 at 2100 (also 9/14) does /not/ appear in the
9200T recording schedule.

On this occasion C4 seem to be doing the Right Thing; the series IDs are
different on C4 and C4+1 but the individual programme IDs are the same.

I wonder if you have somehow got Series Link set for both the C4 and C4+1
series, either deliberately or through a bug?

Quite possible. I just deleted both and and set it up again on series
link for C4+1 starting 18/07. Seems ok as nothing appears in the
recording schedule for C4.

BTW, how do you find the series IDs (referred to in your first paragraph)?

I use Linux-based PVR software VDR (http://www.tvdr.de/ rather out of date)
with the Series Link plugin (http://projects.vdr-
developer.org/projects/vdrtva). That plus utilities such as 'dvbsnoop' can
be used to look at the data being transmitted by the broadcasters.

Humax uses Linux too.



I looked for information in 9200T Menu...Recording Schedule for a couple
of programmes, but couldn't see anything related to the Series ID.

I guess that you need a Linux PC to access that info.

No a PC is not necessary. If you own the current Humax HDR-Fox T2 then there
is a hidden Service Menu option that allows the display of the SERIES CRID
and the PROG CRID on the standard Programme Information screen.

That interesting. How do you access this menu?

From the System Information menu page press red, green, yellow, blue, green,
yellow, blue on the remote.

You should now see a Hidden Settings menu page. Display CRID is the seventh
option.

That's brilliant. Thanks for the information.

This also works on the Fox HD T2.

The "SERIES CRID "and the "PROG CRID " show up on the program Info
screen.

Are there any PVRs which don't automatically record, eg, the +1
programmes an hour after the original, or a repeat a day or two later on
another channel?
