Had a bit of a play this morning. All the ITV recordings I have set by search seem to have made it OK into the schedule and appear correctly in the epg.
I have however noticed a peculiarity.
Type in Gino and select Gino's Italian Escape.
After pressing OK you get 5 hits.
3 for today.
two with the plain ITV icon and one for ITV+1, for next Friday (14th August) you only get two.
One for ITV and one for ITV + 1.
If you select the second one on the list The information shows SD-HD.
The first one shows no info at all re resolution.
The only one for Friday 14th is the same as the above.
If you set a reservation from the second on the list you get the choice of HD (119) or SD (103).
If you then set another from the first you get no choice,
Investigating the epg identifies the series reservation appears on ITV London on channel 977 (This isn't obvious in the planned recordings list as the channel number info isn't there).
There does not appear to be any way to set the recording on 119 from the 14th August entry (normally this would schedule both todays and Fridays at the same time). Whether this would become available after today I will have to check tomorrow.
After deleting the HD and SD series I then went to the 14th August on 119 in the epg.
After setting the series again from the HD entry, confirmed that tonights episode was scheduled as expected (with an ITV HD icon).
There does seem to be some inconsistency in the way ITV recordings are handled between the search and the epg reservation methods.
