There have been many occasions when I’ve let Sky know that an upcoming series (sporting or otherwise) doesn’t have a Series Link set up. It’s rare that they don’t resolve the issue.

 

 

 

Tonight I informed them that the upcoming State of Origin could not be series linked. The reply I got rather stunned me

 

 

 

”Hi Steve, you won't be able to series link this because the timeframe of the next game never matches the first game, that's why most games are not available for series link as it's always changing ^Reece”

 

 

 

Completely bizarre! I series link many things, some of which have quite variable timetables (eg the LPGA). Is it really that primitive??

Think they're wrong, as I'm able to Series Link Supercars races and accidently fill my Sky box with all the practice / quali / races of the various support series. These don't always happen at the same time as far as i know

Yeah, well I've never managed to series link the TV3 6pm news bulletin. Same time, every night, every day of every year.
Yet no series link.
Press record, select Record Series. Check schedule.
Nope, only the one day selected for recording.

Actually I’ve been Series Linking both News bullion’s over the last couple of years.  Never had issues with that! It does annoy me when sometimes you can only Series Link the broadcast of content off Sky channels at prime time (instead of say, 3am). Increases the chance of conflicts!
