Wheel of Fortune series link records Jeopardy

[MeSue]

A few weeks ago I set up a series link for Wheel of Fortune on my HR20. It worked fine until this past week and now it records Jeopardy instead of the Wheel. The title and info says it is Wheel of Fortune, but it is Jeopardy all the way through the recording. Anyone else having this issue?

I have seen this happen where the two syndicated (Jeopardy, Wheel) shows get aired in reverse order once in a while by the station engineers. I'm sure it is an oversight, you may want to make your station aware.

Could it be that your station is playing Jeopardy in the Wheel slot and just hasn't updated the guide?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to check it during air time next week.

Did this happen only on Monday and Wednesday of last week, or every day? And do you normally get "Jeopardy!" at 7:00 and "Wheel of Fortune" at 7:30?

The networks expanded their evening news to an hour on Monday and Wednesday, which would have pre-empted the 7:00 show. It's possible that some stations might have decided to bump "Jeopardy!" to 7:30 on those two days, since "Wheel of Fortune" episodes are self-contained and "Jeopardy!" has returning champions (which means it's a bit more obvious if an episode is missed). As mentioned, if it was a last-minute decision, they might not have updated the listings data that your HR20 gets to determine what to record.

That's probably what happened. I didn't really pay attention to which days it was and my husband already watched and deleted the episodes, but I know it wasn't every day last week. The Thursday recording was Wheel, which we didn't get around to playing until yesterday.
