Series links

[ChrisB14]

Hi all.

I have just moved over to 360 and I know that I lost all my recordings and series links. But I took pictures of them and for reference. Can I set up a new series link on the 360 box for a series that currently isn't airing? 

I had alot of series links on my v6 box that I am hoping to transfer over so when they start up again they automatically record for me.

Hi ChrisB14 

Sorry to say but you'll need to keep your photo's for a bit longer. You can't set up series links for programs that  aren't currently being broadcast. Once they appear in the EPG you'll be able to set them up again.

Hi newapollo,

Thanks for the answer, seems a little bit of a backwards step but will have to get use to it. 

Hopefully it will be in a virgin update to include this ability

It's probably unlikely, the series links on the V6\TiVo work in a very different way to the 360, so adding the feature would I imagine require a massive change to how the 360 works (TiVo also hold a lot of patents on PVR related functionality, which may include some things related to this). It's one of the many features missing from the 360 compared to the V6\TiVo, that we will probably mostly never get back (Undelete is the only one I can imagine they might end up reintroducing, as I very much doubt that is patented and doesn't seem like it should be too difficult to implement).

If a previous series of a program is currently airing on the channel on which the next series will broadcast, you can create a series link from the program, using the new only parameter.
