When I set a series link and the settings are at ALL channels, and HD if possible it records BBC AD instead which isnt HD?

For instance 2 things recently I've recorded like this choose BBC2 AD or BBC1 AD instead.

Seem I have to select the exact channel and put Always HD now by going into the options. Quite annoying.

Is this a bug?

thanks

Not a bug, but a feature of how TiVo recording logic works.

When an SL is set to "all channels" then it works from a higher-numbered channel down, so the lower-end of the EPG, towards the top.

If one of the regional or AD-variants of BBC1/BBC2 that are around the 850/860 positions, meets the criteria for an SL, that will take precedence over the 101/102 versions.

I believe that "HD if possible" will choose the HD version if it's broadcast the same time as an SD version - but the preference to get a recording at the first opportunity, trumps the HD preference.

Ah thanks - does make sense I guess
