[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1136114, member: 141969"] You have not filled in your HTPC specifications, so it is not clear whether you want to receive Sky (or other) satellite channels, or merely want "Sky Planner" functionality on terrestrial TV. (1) If you want to receive Sky/satellite TV, see this thread: [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/djblus-custom-sky-data-grabber-for-mp1-9-onwards.127825/[/URL] That thread describes a user-written "add on" that is not an official part of the MP distribution (and so is more difficult to set up -- read the thread!). I have no experience of it, but I believe that it tries to support series linking in the Sky fashion. (2) If you want "Sky Planner" functionality on terrestrial TV, MP does not offer true "series record", where every episode of a series will be recorded without recording duplicates. :( However, MP does offer "repeated recording", with various choices as to how to select the episodes to record. My most-used choice is "weekly on this channel", which limits recording to one channel and one day of the week, but does not fix the time of day (so the broadcast time can vary from one week to the next). There are other choices available ("every time on this channel", "every time on all channels", etc.). As far as I know, there is no reminder facility in MP. There might be a plug-in for this, but I am not very familiar with plug-ins. Perhaps someone else knows? -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
