Make series record the default option rather than single item

*** Summarised idea from trials process ***

When choosing to record an item that is part of a series it will ask whether you want to record the single item or the whole series. The current default is to record the single item yet it may be more common for people to want the whole series. As such it could save people key presses if the default was changed around to be the whole series rather than the single item. Equally some may prefer it as it is which is why it would be interesting to see what others think.

    Agree. As good as I think the UI is, I think a few tweaks such as this are needed in order to reduce the number of button presses needed and to make sure the defaults are those which will better suit most users.

    Who really routinely records just one episode of a series?

    I do, as sometimes I watch an episode live and sometimes I record it. Personally I would prefer the default as it is but it's no big deal either way.

    +1 for defaulting to series record.

    Whilst this is a rather old topic, for completeness I'll note the next gen software that begins rolling out on 29/11/2016 has series record as the default :)
