However, it does it in a slightly confusing way. If I set the timer from its WIN* guide entry, the recording's "Quality" setting will (incorrectly IMO) default to "Prefer high def." When I go ahead and set the timer, it shows up in the new guide page as having a series recording entry for WIN and a greyed-out entry for WIN HD. But If I then go to My Week, the recording correctly shows up as for WIN HD. If I now look at the show in the guide, it shows correctly as recording on WIN HD.
What prl is describing is a result of the webpage needing to be refreshed (after the IceTV server has processed the newly set series).
- At first the SD episode that was clicked on to set the 'series recording' displays the red icon (regardless of if it matches the chosen options for that series or not).
- Then after clicking on the tv guide tab again, or returning to it from another tab, the IceTV server has processed that series and the web page has refreshed so now the actual matching episodes display red icons and non-matching episodes display grey icons.
The same thing occurs with repeats and new episodes.
Also this behaviour occurs when setting a series for a daily show. At first only the episode that was clicked on has the red icon. Then after refreshing the page all matching episodes for the whole week will now have the red icon.
Maybe we could make the open tab auto refresh a few seconds after setting or editing a series.
