I just tried to set up a recording on my Panasonic PVR for "The Suicide Squad" on ITV2 (Ch6) at 2100 - 2335 tonight. The PVR warned me that
there was an overlap with other programmes set to record, but I knew
there was nothing else I was due to record today.
When I asked it to show me the overlap in order for me to resolve the
issue, it showed me two programmes to be recorded next Tuesday at 2000 - 2100: "The Yorkshire Vet" on Ch5, and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" on
Sky Mix (Ch 11). These are series link programmes that I want to record
on Tuesday, but what does that have to do with a recording today?
I just set the recording timing manually rather than let it follow the
EPG timing, and it accepted that.
Any ideas why the PVR believes that there is an overlap next Tuesday?

Saving you time, it is because the programme is split into 2 parts
and this wasn't envisaged when the Freview PVR spec was set (now in
stone for backwards compatibility) so the 2 parts are set up as a
series record. The side effect is that when the film is repeated the following week it remains as a series record and it attempts to
re-record it. AFAIIA the course you took is the only one possible if
you encounter a clash. Without a clash I have to remember to cancel
the series record on the scheduler.

+1 as I'd had that mystery situation, unresolved until now.
And related, anyone know why presetting to record a radio channel
sometimes my Goodman PVR will record , for the correct timings as
the radio prog, part of a video channel instead?

It knows it's a video recorder, and so it looks for some video to
satisfy its purpose? <g>
Probably unrelated, but is there any similarity between the channel
numbers?
I record a radio programme on my Humax every week, and that has
never happened.

Mostly , perhaps 90% of the time, it records radio perfctly well.
