First episode of the new series of Monk aired last night at 21.00 but due to
recording two other programmes at the same time I couldn't get it then. I
noticed it was repeated at 04.00 this morning so I set the box to record it
then instead. If I set a Series Link for the 04.00 repeat, will it work or
will it want to record the initial showing of the programme 7 hours earlier
at 21.00?

TIA

Series Link should select the 04:00 repeat for subsequent
recordings - and not the 21:00 initial showing.

I suggest you set Series Link on the 04:00 repeat.

Then, wait until after the first recording has triggered the next
occurrence in your EPG to check what happens. You will be able
to check the time and date of the next planned recording in the
Planner schedule.

That's great, thanks Bob.

No it doesn't. It only gets the one transmitted at 04.00 on Wednesday as Bob
said it would.

Perhaps Wednesday"S" would be a better answer...?
