V6 not recording anymore

My V6 box has stopped recording my shows.
It used to show the red R on any set for recording, but now I see nothing.

If I try the red R button to set a series link, it tells me I already have one set.

They also exist in Planned recordings, just doing sod all. ? :-(

I deleted the series link for Border Security and recreated it again. Still not recording. :-(

How can I fix this please?

    Duplicate in TiVo-language means the same episode has already been recorded in the preceeding 28/30 days (I forget which).

    If the next showing falls within the same timescale from when it was last recorded, I'd expect that to fail with the same reason.

    Changing the record flag from "new & re-runs" to "everything" will remove the check for duplicates.

    Checking your planned recordings list will verify in advance.

    Potentially... nothing needs fixing.

    TiVo-recording logic is that the first available episode of any given episode is recorded. So if you highlight a later showing and are playing with recordings/SL, the box is behaving as expected.

    Do non-series-link recordings, i.e. manual ones or one-offs, work OK?

    Post up your series-link settings, and a dated/timed example of where an episode is not being picked up.

    Just gone in to get a screen dump, and it is recording the 12:30 episode, but has not recorded the 12:00 episode?

      Presumably this is from Sky Mix?

      Let's see your SL settings. Also check the Recording Hiccups folder - what's the explanation for the 12noon failure?

      Thanks for confirming that some recordings are working.

    I am a novice at this. Do not muck around with the settings.
    Note, it recorded all the Law & Order yesterday. I actually watched the recordings?
    Since deleted them though.

      Scroll through the Recording Hiccups to find the entry for the programme that wasn't recorded. The right-hand panel will show a one-line reason.

      A similar thing for future recordings can be done by finding the grey entry in your my planned recordings. The right-hand panel will show, why the recording isn't scheduled.

      Nothing obviously wrong in your SL settings, "new only" is one of the favourite reasons for repeats not being picked up.

    Border Security shows as Duplicate for both episodes?, yet it recorded the second?
    They would be duplicates as they are shown earlier in the morning around 08:00,, but the box did not record those episodes either?
    In Manage Series Links it states no Upcoming episodes for that program?
    It shows them in Planned Recordings for Monday, so I will monitor next week.

    Thank you for your help.

    I am pleased to say, it recorded both episodes from this morning.
    I will monitor for other programs.
