While the record request for a series CRID is in the schedule the HDR-FOX T2 remembers which individual programme CRID and will check for duplication to stop itself recording a repeat with the same programme episode for that series CRID.It's about the CRID codes attached to the broadcasts. These identify whether a programme is part of a series and whether it is a repeat. If the broadcasters are not careful with them, you get the sort of thing you have observed. What typically happens (particularly on radio) is a "series" continues to be recorded when the actual programme transmitted in that weekly slot has moved onto a different series.
I likely cause for this is that in your schedule you have two or more requests to record the series in your schedule. Check that you haven't got two series request in the schedule for the same "series". If you have then the HDR-FOX T2 will attempt to record both series broadcasts.re freeview radio, why are repeats being recorded? It's only been happening about a week so probably nothing to do with the box, but I thought I'd ask anyway!
Indeed; R4 tends to allocate different S-CRIDs to different broadcast times of the same programme, so it is possible to record multiple instances by setting a series recording for more than one instance. I do that for ISIHAC, to ensure maximum reliability.[One] likely cause for this is that in your schedule you have two or more requests to record the series in your schedule. Check that you haven't got two series request in the schedule for the same "series". If you have then the HDR-FOX T2 will attempt to record both series broadcasts.
The Humax only remembers 5 episodes for duplicate elimination which can be insufficient for daily or more frequent broadcasts.While the record request for a series CRID is in the schedule the HDR-FOX T2 remembers which individual programme CRID and will check for duplication to stop itself recording a repeat with the same programme episode for that series CRID.
1830 1/11/18 R4 - P-CRID: fp.bbc.co.uk/m/LBU; S-CRID: fp.bbc.co.uk/PEKIM0Also "Reluctant Persuaders", recorded today at 1830, apparently also set to record tomorrow morning at 0530 (but not by me! GREMLINS)
Check when next weeks R4X episode appears on the schedule whether it has the same P-CRID as this weeks R4 episodeYes; the 0530 recording is last week's (25/10) 1830 episode.
So still nothing to be done by me, right?
AFAIK the crids are not stored in the hmt so cant be seen for a recordingIf you still have last week's episode, check the CRID
You seem to be correct. My bad.AFAIK the crids are not stored in the hmt so cant be seen for a recording
