When I send series links from the iOS app they only appear on my box as a single recording. Is this happening for anyone else?

Last time i looked at the Netfilix website i thought their selection of films quite old and nothing much new on there,not sure about Lovefilm though.

There is more competition that there was when CC began looking into this. It is still an industry in its infancy as there are still big players that could enter the market on their own, merge or takeover.

The simple fact is that excess profits lead to more companies looking into an industry. What CC have done is jumped the gun as we still don't know where this industry will exactly be in a couple of years time.

If they were to rule and interfere with an open market taking its course then that is not good for the consumer.

HBO pull plug on Horse Racing drama.

Quote:

HBO has pulled the plug on its big budget horse racing drama Luck, starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, following the deaths of three horses and criticism from animal rights' campaigners.

The broadcaster said it was with heartbreak that it was cancelling all future production on the show, produced by Transformers director Michael Bay, which also stars Dennis Farina and airs in the UK on Sky Atlantic.

The announcement on Wednesday came a day after filming of the second series was suspended after the death of a third animal on the production.

The horse suffered a head injury when it reared and fell back while it was being led to a stable.

Two horses were hurt and subsequently put down during the filming of the first series.

That's a shame. It was finally getting to the point where the had told the story behind all the characters and built them up.

Nope just tried one from my iPad and it worked perfectly , do you have the green series link icon at the side of the remote recorded show when you go into your planner ?

Thanks for checking MM, no I don't. It shows the red R and series link logo within the app but when it's sent to the box it's just the red R on its own.

As a test so were both trying the same thing , set Petrol Age in showcase on iPad my series link has worked within seconds on the box.

Just done the same, the app shows as series link sent but it only appears as a single recording in my planner. I then have to go in and press green in order for it to become a series link.

On another note the Sky Sports News app has been updated to version 2.0 which includes the multi camera F1 companion experience.
