'Cross Channel' Series Recording

[antipodean]

prpr
Well, I am only talking about my experience of recording F1 last year when the whole series of recordings had the same CRID for both BBC1 and BBC2. When I set up the race series on BBC1, I was peed off because it did not record the Practice and Quali on BBC2. I had to set up another series on BBC2 to catch the latter two events.
When I queried it here when it first happened, I was informed that series recordings would not 'cross channel' record, and my failed recordings bore this out.

So as I am obviously totally incompetent about setting up a series recording, how do you do it so that it 'cross channel' records?

@IPN. Ah, I see. No suggestions then, sorry ;=(

I had exactly the same experience with F1 last year as well.

Six Nations Highlights - first programme tonight at 7pm on 2 and the next one is next Saturday at 2pm on 1. Then there's another swap to 2 next Sun at 7pm.
I've set my spare machine!

I'm late to the party for today, but next weekend...

Looks like we'll have a fair data set soon

I've had an auto-schedule-restore screwup as well, so nothing recorded

It certainly looks good. Today my schedule says:

 

[Trev]

Yes, but are they all on BBC1?

 

[Black Hole]

The Sunday one definitely isn't!

I've set mine up on an HD-FOX, using the Sunday broadcast to select series recording on StDef. As expected, there are three linked events, and although they all list as BBC1, going into the details offers BBC1HD as the HiDef alternative on the Saturday programmes, but BBC2HD on the Sunday highlights.

I already said that. Why say it again?

 

[Black Hole]

Not exactly, I don't think, but I had not reminded myself what went before. Just reporting.

Trev : Yes, but are they all on BBC1?

This is part of af123's post #24 :-

 

[Trev]

Ah, didn't spot that. Thanks EP. I'll have to have a look at mine now then.

All my recordings from yesterday/today on 1,2,101,102 were/are successful, thus proving that series links do work across channels with only one item in the recording schedule.
I suspect all the other testers have/will find the same.

 

[Black Hole]

Confirmed

 

[af123]

Yep, and it's busy recording the last event from BBC2 now.

Pretty sure we've seen combinations of recordings appear from, Channel 4, Channel 4HD, Channel 4+1, and Channel 47 I think it was from a single chosen series record on the remote control before now and just removed the duplicates as we watch them.

Worked for me too. Now to recover some space on my hdd
