Why you can't series record SABC on the PVR

PVR owners ... do you often wonder why there's no series record functionality for shows on the SABC channels?

If so, you've probably already guessed the reason  ... the SABC's being shoddy and behind-the-times.

When you PVR/record a show on non-SABC channels you get various options which include the choice of recording the whole season:


When you try to do it for shows on SABC1, 2 or 3, the options disappear and you can only record one episode:


It's got nothing to do with SABC being free-to-air because it works on e.tv so what's the story? Turns out it's because the SABC aren't providing the required info.

This from MultiChoice about it:

"Unfortunately the SABC channels do not consistently provide all the fields of information needed to make the series record functionality work."
 

Channels in this post: SABC1, SABC2, SABC3
