Question Series Link spanning different channels?

Hi,

I've just switched over to Tivo from Windows Media Centre and am going through transferring the recording schedule when a question has arisen.

How can I either set up a series link that spans multiple channels or multiple series links for the same show?

My wife will record & watch both new episodes and repeats of Silent Witness, which is shown on BBC1, Alibi and Drama. On the Tivo I only seem able to set one series link for the show, and only on one channel - which isn't what I want.

In WMC I'd be able to set up a recording schedule either way - one schedule that spans all channels or multiple schedules that target the same programme.

BTW, if it makes a difference, as the wife is watching TV at the moment (old recordings on WMC) I'm using the website to set the schedule.

Thanks.

Re: Series Link spanning different channels?

Thanks. When I managed to get some messing around time on the TV last night, I found that on the Tivo itself it is possible to have multiple series links for the same programme. So, I've been able to set up three schedules, one for each channel. Not quite as elegant as a single schedule covering all channels, but it'll do.

A wishlist would solve having 3 different series links though. It would record every episode across all 3 channels. But Drama doesn't have an HD variant, so make sure not to select HD only.
