Recording programs on channels I don't receive

[jonmalco]

Hi,

Had Sky with all the channels but as I am having a major cash flow problem I have left Sky but use the digibox to view the free channels. Went through the list of channels I receive and removed the ones I no longer have.

But it still wants to record programs from my season passes on channels that I don't have any more.

How do I stop it doing this?

Regards,


Jonathan

Cancel the Season Passes on those channels.

You can do this one at a time, either by going through the Season Pass Manager, or the To Do List
or I believe there's an option under System Reset to clear Programme Information if you want to clear all your Season Passes.

Don't want to clear the season passes incase I can afford SKY in the future.
Guess the only way is to remove each item on the To Do list.

I preume that they will not be added again for the channels i don't have.

How about setting the SP to Keep Until I Delete and reducing the maximum number of episodes to 1. Then set a manual recording for 5 minutes for the 1st instance of the series. TiVo should record the 5 minutes of "channel not available" message and then think it has the 1 episode it needs and not record any more ;)

(BTW, I haven't actually tried this, so don't blame me if it doesn't work!)

When u say you have removed channels you dont receive, did you remove them from Sky Digibox or TiVo? If sky try removing them from TiVo

My Sky contract is cancelled so I can only view the free to air channels.

I removed the channels from the list of channels I receive on TIVO.

Have you got tivoweb?

If so, you can do a backup of season passes and then remove them from tivo?
