Having just replaced an 11 year old 40" Sony TV with a 55" A80J, I am checking the many new features. I have connected a 500GB USB HDD for recording programmes from Freesat channels and this works fine for one-off recordings, but seems to have a problem with series recordings. If I set up a series recording then it records the first episode without problem, but has difficulty finding future recordings especially for programmes that are daily rather than weekly. At the moment, there are three entries in the Recording timer list that say "Searching for next episode" with no indication of which programme is involved. I have a 5 year old Samsung 22" TV that does series recordings perfectly so I am a bit disappointed with the new Sony.
