[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1098051, member: 141969"] Yes, I would agree. Vista MC bases its series-linking on programme titles only, and that is the same as MP (Win7 MC is different in this respect). But both Vista and Win7 EPGs have unique programme ids that WMC uses to avoid recording the same episode twice; MP does not do that. :( For someone migrating from WMC, series linking may be the biggest inhibitor. This is why I recommend setting up a parallel MP installation, and using it for real recording tasks, [i]for several weeks[/i]. Only this way can you be sure that you will be satisifed with the rather limited series linking that MP offers compared to WMC. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
