Why does q box not series link f1 every race weekend?

Set up Q box to record all Live races and qualifying for what I'd hope would be the season, recorded everything ok for first weekend, now this weekend coming and no races show as going to be recorded. It's as if because it's a different circuit it doesn't recognise it as a series link. Going to be a right pain if you have to set it up for every weekend. Why not just give every weekend show the heading "Live F1"then say what event it is after, that way recognises the series?

Hi @Wide100 After several years of experience, this is normal. No idea why, perhaps negotiations of the feed (who knows). However you sometimes have to wait until the day before but the series link has always arrived in time. Having just checked, I see the series links (HD & UHD) have now appeared.

Edit: Note series links have nothing to do with the title, it is in the meta data.

hi @Wide100

the series link includes the Press Conference & F1 shows so the Press Conference on Wednesday should be showing as set to record (Mine is)

Just in case you are not aware on SKY Q only the next programme in the series link will show as linked & scheduled & when that one starts, the next one will show as linked and scheduled.
