Split Programmes

[jw100]

UK Freeview EPG has a facility for PVRs to support recording of programmes which are split, usually by a short news bulletin. A PVR supporting this feature will capture both sections even if only one is selected.

The NPVR web Guide appears to support this, but it doesn't work in practice. When I select either the first or second part for recording, both sections are highlighted in the Guide, but only the selected part records. This is a little confusing. More annoyingly, I can't seem to record the second part if the first is already selected; the pop-up window only shows details of the part already set to record. The only way I could make this work was to set a Manual Recording, though I suppose I could have extended the first recording using padding.

Is this a known issue?

I haven't been able to reproduce this fault. The next split recording I tried was just treated as two separate programs. When I had the fault, the first programme had already started, so it may be specific to that case, and not worth worrying about.

It might be worth re-posting this in the NEWA support forum if it's something you come across again. UncleJohnsBand develops and supports NEWA and I'm not sure he always follows the general support forum but he doesl watch the NEWA forum.

If you scheduled the recording after it had already started then it probably wont start
you would need to do a quick record

That seems like what I am after. But does it only work if the Show name is identical?
If yes I guess I could try to use TVxB to strip out the [Cont'd] suffix.
