Programmes still recording despite removing series link

[Collinsc]

sorry, i did not get a notification on your post... so im nearly a year late!

No, this isnt a situation where we've just watched a programme and then the next one downloads...

The situation might be that we watch an episode on saturday that was recorded the night before, we then decide we dont like it, so remove the series link and then the next friday the next episode records.

It is so frustrating.  Any fix suggestions appreciated.

Is this happening on multiple series? If so what channels are they on?

I have to say that there may not be an answer let alone a solution though, I keep having to remove literally hundreds of episodes of quiz shows that the wife has watched the odd episode of. This happens weekly.

@Collinsc the response from @ozsat is what is happening and what you need to do

ie you set series link, it records on the Friday night after it records the Friday night episode it then sets up the recording for next Friday.

If on the Saturday you remove series link then as next Friday's episode is already set to record it records it and the series link ends the following week .

What you need to do after cancelling series link is to go into scheduled and then cancel the next weeks recording manually

"Is this happening on multiple series? If so what channels are they on?"... hmm i havent spotted a pattern but then havent looked out for one tbh. I will now though.

Thank you - ok i will try this next time!

Bizarre imo why you'd need to do that also. Surely "remove series link" should do just that.

It does, but as explained in earlier posts the next episode is already scheduled to record.

Example:

• Mondays episode of xyz is recorded on series link
• After viewing it you decide you don't want to watch any future episodes 
• Go into Recordings / Scheduled / find the next episode of xyz / scroll right and remove the series link (first) / then click on cancel recording

Language perhaps... but imo if you are clicking a button that says "remove series link" then it should remove everything, but there you go. Either way...

Thanks again - between a few of you i have now understood what you're getting at and i shouldn't get this issue again!
