Series 'unlinking' not working
At one time I had a drama series series linked, some time ago. Now with smart series link the new series has started appearing in my planner. I don't want to watch the new series of this programme, but highlighting and pressing the green button to 'unseries-link' it (as you normally do) is not working. Pressing the green button does nothing at all, so I have been deleting the programme to stop the recording, but the next episode pops up in the planner the next week. And again, pressing the green button does nothing.
Not a big deal, but I am concerned that it screws up things when I am away, for example, and come back to discover this unwanted programme has caused something I really wanted to fail/clash.
Does anyone know what works to solve this problem? Thanks very much.

Re: Series 'unlinking' not working
You can try a Planner rebuild after cleaning out the Deleted programs folder. Also a complete shut down and restart of the box may help.
Planner rebuild Services button, press 001, then Select, then 7, Select again twice.

Re: Series 'unlinking' not working
Hmm...I'm starting to see series links appearing for repeat showings of shows I already watched.

That's the one that introduced 'smart' series link.
After a few rocky weeks where i came to the conclusion that it's buggy & really not smart at all, things did generally calm down although i do still have the odd 'dumb' series link issue.
What i find strange is that many people like yourself appear to be experiencing this ssl problem for the first time recently, whereas the incident count for me is still very low.

Re: Series 'unlinking' not working
Actually i just remembered.
A beta tester (so should know) did recently state on another forum that ssl is on a phased roll-out.
If true, they can't be referring to sky boxes so perhaps it's certain channels or programmes that are gradually getting the dumb series link treatment?

Tnanks for the info.
I thought it was my box playing up as recently I lost the video to a blue screen just a week or so after doing a rebuild. Another rebuild fixed it only for it to spontaneously reboot itself a few days later. Then this solitary rogue series link appears.
It seems OK ATM. Guess I will have see how it goes.

Re: Series 'unlinking' not working
The features are being phased in, but "S"SL is still borked.
