Question Wishlists & Series Link

Just venturing into the world of wishlists for the first time.
My wife has set up a wishlist for Cougar Town, which beign s this week, now will this automatically record the whole series or just the first episode of the new series? Then do we have to set up a seperate series link????

It will record any program which fits the criteria you've set, regardless of which series it's from or channel it's on.

Re: Wishlists & Series Link

If you only want it to record the new series then a series link will be better.

Wishlist will record everything that matches the given criteria. so maybe a show about cougars lol.

I've found that when setting whishlists for show titles that aren't on the EPG yet, so that a series link can't be set, it's best to also add the main actor, otherwise you can get all sorts of things recorded!
