Series link?

I have just upgraded to a TV 360 but can't find where the series links are. Any ideas?

    There is no access to a list of series links as you had on TiVo software.

    All you have is a list of planned recordings that have been scheduled for the next two weeks.

    This is available by pressing Home then navigating to Recordings.

      Thanks but I don't have those either. All series links and planned recording are gone after the upgrade. I would have though that in this day and age that all this stuff would be in the cloud for easy access. Oh well.

        Any series link's and planned recordings and any existing recordings get deleted when the hard drive is reformatted for the new software, it's too late now but with a bit of quick research on the forum you would have found out and been able to make a list, the only info Virgin give you AFAIK is that you will lose your recordings.

        You will need to set all your series link's again but you can only do that if the series is showing on the TV guide you can't do a search for something that isn't on the guide and set a series link, that's also why in your planned recordings you will only recordings that are coming up in the next 14 days.

        The 360 is actually based around cloud recording and is used this way in other countries it's the UK broadcaster's that won't allow it so the software had to be tweaked for the UK so they could add a hard drive to the box for recordings.

    Just to add to Ernie_C answer you will need to start using the advanced recording options when setting up series link's using something like the 'new only' option so you don't get episodes you have already recorded, watched, and deleted being recorded again. Also with the V6 you could set a series link across different channels this can't be done on the 360 they are channel specific so for example if you have a series link set on BBC 1 and they move it to BBC 2 for some reason then it won't record that episode.

    'Upgrade' must mean something different than it used to....

      Converting from TiVo-driven TiVo/V6 to Horizon-driven TV360 is a migration to a completely different software platform.

      Microsoft also call a migration from Windows 10 > Windows 11 an upgrade. Marketeers can label anything an "upgrade" by the same argument.
