Someone mentioned to me that Sky + numbers the episodes in a series, but I can't find out where it does that. It doesn't do it when you hit the "i" button, unless there's some of my settings set wrong?
It has only recently started to do this with many of the new series this year, it is in the info after the discription of the program, usually in brackets.
It may only do it for sky hd subscribers, if thats not the case then if you have disconnected the phone line from the box then reconnect it.
You could also try checking what the current profile you are running, this can be checked in services, i think its in sky setup or system setup
