While I have often used the option hads is talking about, I got into a wierd
overlapping situation with TV3 +1 for recording NCIS (for example) when we
missed the first episode and started the record on the plus 1 channel, it
meant that we then had one episode this week (right down to the last hour of
the week!)   We then had to switch to "Record at any time" and get two
copies each week with a WAF factor of "minor irritation". What exactly is in
the MHEG data that we can see on F12, are there xml links to record series
within that info? (I've looked briefly and not seen it either)
Cheers
