Just found a neat gotcha on the MagicTV 3700 (5.04NZ firmware).


Part way through the 6pm news tonight, I set my MTV3700 to series record the 6pm News on TV3. I then continued to watch 3News on TV3+1. Saw an article I wanted to record, so attempted to record the live program.  But the unit reported that I couldn't record it because it would be recorded at another time.
Note: the series record correctly recorded the last few minutes of 3News on TV3 and tomorrow it will correctly record the entire 3News, it was just today that I happened to want to record after setting the series record. 


I guess this is a situation particular to TV3 and TV3+1. I guess it's because the two channels use the same ID's for the programs, so that recorders can't really tell the difference.


Has anyone else seen this on other PVRs?

Yes, absolutely. Same on everything.  It's the fault of the broadcasters and/or Freeview.

Panasonic tried to tell them they were wrong, but they didn't want to know.
