F1 Channels series links issues

smokey-paul — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 07:15:51 GMT

This has been the common situation for two years:

1) Series links for the F1 practices, qualifying (Sprint and Race) and races (Sprint and Race) are NOT retained from race weekend to race weekend.

2) Series links for the F2 and F3 practices ARE retained from race weekend to race weekend.

3) Series links for the F2 and F3 races (Sprint and Feature) are NOT retained from race weekend to race weekend.

4) Series links for the Porsche race ARE retained from race weekend to race weekend.

5) Broadcasts such as Chequered Flag and Ted's Notebook ARE recorded (provided the main Race is recorded) DESPITE not being selected. They do not show on the Scheduled screen, but do show on the Recordings screen as "Series linked" once recorded.

hi @smokey-paul

I have never had a problem with the Series links for F1 (apart form one minor glitch that I don't recall the sepecifics of)

The bit that might be tripping you up is the all the shows in the link - that if you delete one might cause a hiccup

For example the link for a week usually starts with one or more of the Press Conferences, then the P1,P2, the F1 show (whenver that might be) P3, Quali, then on race day Build Up, Race & Chequered Flag - this year Ted's noteback on which ever days that is & then rather bizarely imo Race Highlights (I may have missed at least one show as the link covers so many & obviously on Sprint Weekends the P2 & P3 sessions are replaced with Sprint Quali & Sprint)

Personally I think it would better if there were a few separate links rather everything in one big link

That would not account for the F2 and F3 races, and was never the case. It hapoened last year too and records some non-race sessions despite them not showing as to be recorded.

Hi @smokey-paul Remember that the series link may not appear until the Thursday. F1 on series link for 8-9 years, I think it has only let me down once or twice in that time. Certainly, perfect this season so far. I record in both HD and UHD to give me the option to view on the Mini boxes.
