@steve Ah, my mistake! Didnt realise that those features were required to make it freesat+, still it is a shame that you cannot set a “series link” as as i undertsand it this would stop silly recordings (like setting up a channel 4 at 6pm recording to get Simpsons, but not on a weekend!) that I understand series link would not do.

Perhaps in a later firmware update as if the data is there in the epg for the Humax to use it I would have thought they could make this box do it as well!

@ Tom Freesat+ can only be used as a trade mark for twin tuner units as can series link. the Technisat offers Daily, weekly, weekday or weekend recordings of programmes, but this cannot be called series link.

Same here (and more importantly my box is still working!!).

I guess the nice folk at TechniSat weren’t going to make the same mistake as those idiots at Harvard Plc.

Breaking news:The new Technisat download has been listed on the DTG site (1364 patch4).
Is this the long antisipated PVR upgrade? It should happen today. fingers crossed.

Just browsed through the manual, sounds good but it doesnt sound like it doesnt support Freesat+, i.e. no series link or searching the epg like the Humax?

Shame, nice functionality tho!

The “new” manual is just an addendum for the PVR functionality, I’m looking for the manual for the unit itself as a whole. It has never appeared as a download on the Technisat web site as far as I can see.

The EPG, may be boring and may be greay as stated by some of the posts on here, BUT this is mandated by Freesat and NOT TechniSat.
TechniSat can do nothing about the EPG as this is what Freesat want it to look like.

The new manual is an update of the “original” so just download the latest version
