V6 Series Link

Just received a replacement V6 box after the last one failed.

In the documentation that came with the new box it states how to copy the Series Link settings from the failed box to the new box. I have done this before many years ago but the options in my account do not correspond with the information in the manual.

Anyone know a quick way to get to the right setting?

I have tried help from Virgin media but their response is that you cannot copy your recordings - I know that and I know I have lost them but they did not seem to understand all I wanted to do was copy the Series Link settings rather than set them all up again?

    The functionality to copy & backup series links has been a bit flaky for many years, and hasn't - to my knowledge - even been promoted for several.

    Last time I checked the URL that had previously been issued for use, had stopped working.

    I'd recommend starting to create your series links from scratch. On a V6, all you need to find is a single episode of a programme somewhere in the EPG.

    As I recall it the facility to copy series links from an old box stopped working several years ago.

    The user guide with the V6 is still the original issue & must be at least 10 years old. The "copy settings" functionality never worked properly & was withdrawn, but the guide was never updated.
