My wife is a keen fan of 'Gilmore Girls' which is shown on E4 during the
afternoons. Because it has adverts she has a 'series recording' set for the
programme and then watches it later, or when it has been recording for half
and hour or so and she can FF through the ads.

When she went into 'Planner' today she clicked on Gilmore Girls that was
recording, but immediately a message came up on screen stating:

"Checking purchase information - Please wait"

Seconds later another message:

"You cannot purchase this programme. Call 08442 414141 for assistance."

This is clearly not a 'pay for' programme and so the message is a bit
baffling. My wife is mad because she cannot watch her programme!

that's a weird one. do they not repeat it later? anyway, sounds like a
silly glitch, a hopefully one off. If I was her I would set tomorrow's
to record on E4+1 aswell, just to test it out.

Obviously a cock-up somewhere, unfortunately it doesn't look like that
episode is going to be repeated and it's not available on 4oD. :-(

She'll cope! Subsequent episodes have recorded ok without the problem.

yeah, just one of those things. sometimes glitches carry on for a
while though, so at least it was short and sweet.
