How can I increase the time on a series link when recording , as my programme keeps missing the ending, so I want ro add 10 - 15mins on the end.

There is no option.

The workaround is to record the following programme too.

@AdeelJunior  unfortunately with Sky Q this is not possible. The only option is to record the next programme in the schedule.

Btw. Its not the UHD version of the darts you are referring to is it?

[AdeelJunior]

Thank you for your response, no its not darts. It's a programme series on ColoursHD channel.

I had tried to search on Google and the NZ version has extra option in Recordings and Setup to add extra time. 

I was wondering if there is a software update as it's not always predictable that the next programme on a series link is the same programme.

@AdeelJunior Unfortunately, smaller channels like ColoursHD don't stick to their own schedules very well and don't update the Sky EPG. As mentioned above the best solution is to record the programme that follows so that, hopefully, it gets the end of your recording on the start of that one.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the advice and feedback. 

Something Sky to build in their system, if Virgon can do it, it cannot be hard for Sky.

Seasons Greetings.

@AdeelJunior On the old Sky HD + system ypu could add time to recording but as the broadcaster sets the sets the metadata for the series link and the programme length then Q shouldn't need to be able to add additional time on to the recording you could contact viewers relations with regards to this. the email is viewerR@sky.uk

Also Sky NZ is  completely different company has nothing to do with Sky UK

Thank you very much for your response, I will email them.

Also, I only referred to Sky NZ and Virgin to mention that it is possible.

I have only had Sky for the first time since May 2023 and was with Virgin Media for over 15yrs.

@AdeelJunior no worries I only pointed out Sky NZ have nothing to do with Sky UK as many people think they ate all part of the same group 😀 

As I said the older Sky HD + system did allow you to add to the recording time
