Do you not get a prompt if you set a series record from logical channel number 2 (lcn). What's the highest lcn you have on your epg ?

Looks like a BBC screwup. The BBC2 SD/HD link is also not working on a Freesat box,

Graham, i dont get a prompt when selecting BBC2, ITV or CH4.
Our Panasonic box still offers the option whatever the channel is, even the +1 channel options.Wouldnt this mean the info is in the data but it Humax that have an issue using the data

Did you check the highest lcn in your epg.

Graham, im not 100% sure what you are refering to with Highest lcn.
SD channels go up to 087, then jump to 093 and go up to 098
Apologies is im talking rubish.

Apologies is im talking rubish.What transmitter are you on. Assuming a main power one with COM 7 and COM 8 you should have a lot more.
I was just trying to check you haven't picked up more than one transmitter using autotune. If you had picked and stored PSB One (the SD Mux) and psb3 (The HD Mux) from a different transmitter that may well explain why the SD/HD link doesn't work. If this happens you get duplicates with lcn's in the 800's.

The BBC2-SD/HD link should work (as it's also broken on Freesat the data that links the SD epg to the HD epg is clearly missing so has to be down to the BBC or in the data links to the transmitter and the satellite upload link)

I have had this issue for 3 years. First seen when I replaced an LG TV with a Panasonic TV. The Panasonic only offers the HD alternative on BBC1 and C5 yet my 6/7 year old Panasonic PVR has from day 1 offered all alternative HD channels! My Humax 5000T mirrors the TV offering only BBC1 and C5.
Raised the issue with Panasonic and Freeview (responsible for the epg). Panasonic were a waste of space - Reply could have come from the bread making machine support team. Freeview could at least understand the issue.
The most credible "answer" was that the "epg signal" is generated at/for my local transmitter (Lancaster) since it only broadcasts a sub set of the channels broadcast by its parent transmitter (Winter Hill) and there are two message standards and my "new" TV must only support one of them. There are holes in that explanation but I'd lost the will to live by then

Because of the up to 4 at once recording capability I always record from PSB 3. You can even manage 5 at once if you use the boxes capability to create a recording from the time shift buffer file and use the reminder option. Set from PSB 3 using the HD only epg filter you always get the HD version. Also has the advantage over the HDR-1000S (both have 2TB drives) in having channel 4-HD. Your Freeview-lite transmitter has PSB 3.

I remembered to check last night and my 2000t gives the same results as my 4000t.
