Had Sky+ for a while now and it is by far the best piece of kit I've bought in a long time.

Sometimes it messes up by randomly deleting series linked shows but on the whole it's spot on.

However, I just got home and found that somehow it has auto series linked itself with the Chuckle Brothers on BBC1 Yorkshire at 4:05 pm on Thursday!!! WTF??!??!?

Whilst I used to watch the moustachioed Northerners as a student and snigger at their "to you, to me" humour, that was many years ago and I have no idea how they've made it onto my Kky+ Planner!

Mine seems to favour BBC Northern Ireland for its random selections, not only that but the progs it selects are without exception shite.

You obviously bought the surreal version - records what you dont want to watch and plays it when you are out!

yup ours does that as well - seems to have something to do with series link time changes as we frequently seem to end up with the news linked!

It's kids programs on mine. I always blamed my sons for messing about with it, apologies are in order me thinks.

Yep, I get a similar thing - tends to be a series linked program that ends, but it still finds something for the next week.

Mine randomly records stuff off the adult channels. At least that's what I tell my wife.

Hmm, maybe I should start paying the subscriptions again - to sky+, not the adult channels ahem!
