Aha, now, series link, I've got a question about that. How does it work?

Say like, right, imagine I'm a big fan of QI. There's a new series of QI on BBC1 on Friday nights at the moment, and it's one of the few things I make a point of trying to watch. So obviously when we're all plussed up I'll set that up to record on the series link thing.

But - here's the question - will that just record QI on Friday nights off of BBC1? Or will it also grab the repeats on BBC2, or the 14+ hours of QI that's on Dave every flipping day?

  - I know this has been asked before (General Chat) - camcan, Feb 6, 12:09:05
    - Is your hard-drive recorderer linked up to the on-screen Sky Guide? (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Feb 6, 12:13:02
      - a friend of mine has one of those hard drive jobbies (General Chat) - Charles21, Feb 6, 12:18:24
        
        Tell him to get Sky Plus then - it's better than that and Virgins. (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Feb 6, 12:23:22
        
        I did that, it didn't go down too well (General Chat) - Charles21, Feb 6, 12:25:43
    - No, probably not. Though a non sky might not let you into the anytime stuff maybe? (General Chat) - megson, Feb 6, 12:11:50
      - Yep - forgot 'Anytime TV'. Not sure about the 'plopping down'. (n/m) (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Feb 6, 12:26:35
      - the two things at once is not possible, nor the series link (General Chat) - camcan, Feb 6, 12:14:34
        
        Yeah neither do we, however the few things we do often clash! (General Chat) - megson, Feb 6, 12:17:29
    - 'series link'? - dunno. (n/m) (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Feb 6, 12:09:54
      - Aha, now, series link, I've got a question about that. How does it work? (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Feb 6, 12:16:25
        
        Nope, its clever. Would only record the new series. (General Chat) - megson, Feb 6, 12:22:58
        
        Should just do what you tell it. (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Feb 6, 12:20:58
        
        I have a pretty poor record of getting technology to "just do what I tell it". (n/m) (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Feb 6, 12:21:54
        
        You probably do it with too many pens in your head. The instructions are so simple fish (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Feb 6, 12:24:47
        
        I struggle with printers and photocopiers too. And scanners. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Feb 6, 12:35:33
        
        Sky guy should give you a quick demo too. Though that could be f'ing useless. (n/m) (General Chat) - megson, Feb 6, 12:25:33
        
        Our Sky man's brill - the same one for 10 years. And he's cheaper than Sky! (n/m) (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Feb 6, 12:29:13
        
        Yeah but can he get me an HD box ? (n/m) (General Chat) - Arganth, Feb 6, 13:10:16
        
        think it does every bloody repeat too (General Chat) - Charles21, Feb 6, 12:19:24
        
        nope, i'm100% it won't. We record a few things on series link that repeat (General Chat) - megson, Feb 6, 12:24:26
        
        What about if the series hasn't got a regular slot? (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Feb 6, 12:28:32
        
        Its not bloody psychic. (General Chat) - megson, Feb 6, 12:33:50
        
        Yep. "I think it does have a regular slot now" - in which carse thass noo matters (n/m) (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Feb 6, 12:30:32
      - I've got a dilemma for you (General Chat) - camcan, Feb 6, 12:13:05
      - Wishing i could just reply like this ^^^^^ isntead of waffling on. (n/m) (General Chat) - megson, Feb 6, 12:12:18
        
        lol (n/m) (General Chat) - Charles21, Feb 6, 12:13:11
- I'm still a plus virgin. If I could just buy the box it'd be fine, but I hate it when sky (General Chat) - stringersrevenge, Feb 6, 12:04:09
  - That's the argument I had with them. (General Chat) - Arganth, Feb 6, 12:10:17
  - I know a man (n/m) (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Feb 6, 12:10:02
