Newest V6 boxes won’t record specific series

Hi, we recently had our boxes replaced due to losing all recordings on the previous ones. 

Everything seems fine, we can record shows or series fine, except for the Live Motogp race series on TNT. It’ll record the non-live and checkered flag series, but no matter what I try, it will not record the main event series. 

I can manually record each show, but not the series. I can record the F1 series, so it’s not anything to do with expected storage - currently only 34 percent used anyway. 

I've tried so many other shows and series, all without issue, it really is just the live MotoGP stuff on TNT that won’t record. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

    Sounds like a series link issue & not a box issue. If the events are not flagged as "new" then they usually won't record unless you set the series link parameter to "everything".

      Thanks @nodrogd, do you mean changing the advanced settings to record all available episodes? I’ve tried changing that but it doesn’t save/make a difference. 
      pls advise where you mean, thanks so much!

        The setting nodrogd was (I think) referring to, is the one you've described.

        nodrogd  I've created a test SL and it's picked up all the episodes I'd expect it to. I wonder if fellow VIP Graham_A would mind testing, I believe he also uses a V6 still.

    I've just created a series link for live MotoGP (using Saturday 1545 as the guinea pig), and my V6 has scheduled all upcoming GP1, GP2 & Gp3 sessions - race & practice - to record.

    If you can set these episodes manually, that would normally suggest these showings have been manually cancelled previously - and that "do not record" flag is retained for (I think) 28days.

    japitts I've just noticed something!!

    Hi, we recently had our boxes replaced due to losing all recordings on the previous ones. 

    More than likely the OP actually has V360 Horizon boxes, so we are probably barking up the wrong tree ???

      Yes, perhaps! Sincere apologies all, I have the latest router and 2 of the very latest boxes - the main one is a humax 1008r. 

      I first tried linking the motogp series when it started again a number of weeks ago, these boxes hadn’t had any motogp recorded on them before that bcos they were replaced end of December. 

      It baffles me that I appear to be able to link absolutely anything, apart from the main one I really want to 😤

      Yes, that's not a photo of a V6.

      V6 boxes run TiVo-software, TV360 run Horizon software which is totally different and is fundamentally not TiVo. V6 are fully supported for fault replacements, but for whatever reason your V6 has been replaced with a TV360. I did half wonder when I replied previously, but dismissed it as "check that second"

      Which completely explains why Graham & myself trying to replicate your problem is never going to help - apart from proving that there's something awry with the TV360 data that's causing this.

      I'll move your post to the TV360 section of the board.

    If you still haven't got it working used the Advanced options and select the 'From this episode onwards' option.
