Since the last little while when I add new program's to Soho I can't get a series link icon to series link it.
Game of thrones has been linked for a while but new stuff I've added such as Fargo and Babylon I just can't get a series link option? Is it only selected program's they allow you to link?

Fargo series links ok for us.
But not Babylon. In the guide it says GOT will be back next Monday, so maybe it's a one off?

Sky seems quite hit and miss with their series link ids (stuff that you don't see unless you decode the satellite stream), for example All new grand designs UK has the same series link id as the aus version and so will continue to record even when the UK one has ended.

Anyone know when the next episode of Babylon will be on? I also noticed it couldn't be series linked.

It was just a fill in for GoT, so they put babylon on in it's place.

Babylon is an upcoming series, first episode just put on ahead of time, don't know when starting fully. I've recorded it, but haven't got round to watching yet.

Also for series links usually only works on first screening of program in week, i.e won't show up if setting up recording of repeat.

Are you sure about this as I often series link Soho things in the middle of night ie 0230 rather than 830pm because of clashes with programms on free to air which obviously don't repeat later that night..(tv1-4)

American horror story friday 5.45pm no series link.

Fargo tonight has series link, and the repeat after it does, but thursday 9.40am doesn't.

The ones I looked at, looks like repeats early mourning after first screening have series link.

Ok cool yes Thur 3:35am episode of Fargo I have managed to series link Yaye. I like to record soho episodes off peak time so I know I won't clash with my wife's stuff, just have to keep scrolling through the days till you find one with the link I guess.

When trying to series link, the early morning screenings are always the ones I have the most problem with :(
