I have tried that in the past, but found that the search would not pick 
up the programme where no episodes had yet been broadcast. Sometimes I 
have the same problem even if there has been a broadcast:-
Today (8 Mar 2011), for instance, I have entered /Alan Bennett /in the 
Search (with the Radio box checked). It brings up the last week's 5 
episodes of /Untold Stories/ currently available from BBC7, but not 
yesterday's broadcast of the first episode in the current/Telling Tales/ 
series. BUT, I went to the BBC7 site, found yesterday's /Telling Tales/, 
started the playback and copied and pasted the URL into the Quick URL 
box. 'Search' again failed to identify the programme, but 'Record' did 
pick it up and recorded successfully. Previous trials indicate that if I 
now add that programme to the PVR list, it should pick up the rest of 
the series OK.

I get there - but am sure there is a simpler way!

You have described my problem very well.

For example, I see a radio series for each day this week.Rather than

setting the PVR for each one, how can I catch the lot from the PID of

the first one?

AIUI the PID is unique, because it represents a programme. Can't you

add a PVR search for title or series?
