Not sure if this is just an Aura problem, I had series record set for Antique Roadshow BBC1sd ,The Great pottery Throw Down Ch4sd and Celebrity Hunted Ch4sd all on Sunday and 24 Hours in Police Custody Ch4sd today, they all recorded fine but now in Schedule all are showing as 0 programmes and when I tried to reschedule them they all only allow a singled episode option with no series record option offered.

Can series record Antiques Roadshow.
All Channel 4 shows you mentioned are only allowing single recordings no Record Whole Series offered.
And same for me 24Hrs in Police Custody was set as series record a few days ago, recorded fine last night.
Schedule now saying 0 recordings due, usually deleting the empty schedule from Schedule list allows the series record feature to come back for the desired programme, but not this time.A quick flick through the Channel 4 EPG and some regular programmes like Countdown can be series linked but others Cheers, Frasier, Four In A Bed can't.
Other Channels. BBC1, BBC2, ITV all offer Record Whole Series on the random selection I tested so seems to be a Channel 4 problem, have not tested with Channel 4 subsidiary channels like E4, More 4 etc as yet.
Not sure if it is an Aura thing as other channels I have tested are OK, I could drag out my old 5000T and set it up to see if it has the same scheduling issue with Channel 4 but that would be later on as I am still rather 'cloudy'.
By the way all mt schedules and test were done on the HD versions of the four main broadcasters.

Fairly sure this isn't an Aura problem. I've got the same findings on a 5000T and it is reported on the other site that the problem exists on the Fox-T2 as well.

Good to confirm it is a CH4 issue and not Aura for a change though BBC are not off the off the hook yet as my reply on the other site shows...........
"Antiques Roadshow shows as series record in my schedule now so I may have be mistaken before and it may have shown as 0 episodes due to the next episode being a repeat from a previous series rather than a continuation of this weeks. Also I set series record for The Bidding Room BBC1sd , it only set to record a couple of episodes this week and one next and another schedule had to be set for the other episodes this week ( it airs Mon-Fri) all episodes show in the TV guide as repeats from 2 previous series but the episode recorded yesterday was S6E1 which is the new series as confirmed on IMDb https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11434078/ . January 7th is far too late to blame error on festive excess."
Edit. Ignore the above, I now see that for some bizarre reason BBC are showing the new series on Mon, Wed and Fri with old episodes on Tues and Thu and TV guide now showing the correct episodes.

If you set the Aura to display the CRID data in the EPG you can see for most of Ch4's series programmes
in the string of info at the top of the screen you will see [SERIES: null].On other channels with programmes that can be set for series record this is populated with an alphanumeric web address..
Please note though that a lot of Ch4's and other CH4 partners CRID data scrolls off the top of the page and you can't see {SERIES: null] and other data. Pain in the neck, but if you go to Ch 4Seven Thu 9th Jan 11:30am A New Place In The Sun, the CRID data for that is all in one line and [SERIES : null] is shown.
To display the CRID data in the EPG press the Freeview button on the remoter.
Go to Freeview Play Preferences> System Information and press the RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, BLUE buttons.
