I posted this back in March, but the problem hasn't been resolved. With the new session of Parliament about to start, I'm noticing this problem again.

Prime Minister's Questions on BBCPARL always has the same original air date - Wed 8th Nov 2006, which means that TiVo cannot just pick up the new live 'episode'. It also means that Tivo will not record each weekly 'episode' due to the 28 day rule.

Episode Description Coverage of proceedings from the House of Commons.
Duration 0:30
Original Air Date Wed 8th Nov 2006
Genres News, Public Affairs, Politics
Type Series
Channel 612 BBCPARL

Lineup: VM
Postcode area: PO4

OzSat - pretty please? <flutters eyelids>

To get them to appear immediately, rename them to FTN but there's no guarantee they'll survive the brand change.

There are still no EPG listings for Ch626 Pop Girl on Sky Digital despite this channel being launched a number of weeks ago and despite the obvious existing EPG relationship with this broadcaster in terms of both Pop Tv and TinyPop tv channels.

I would say that the Pop channels are amongst the most popular Freesat channels in any household with kids under 10. My sister pays for all Sky Mixes plus the Disney channel but her young children still regularly watch programs on the the Pop channels.

Come on Tribune you are being lazy. No one is asking you to come up with listings for the Shopping Channels or any of the very obscure foreign language channels on the Sky Digital platform.Please don't post criticism posts regarding missing programme listings in a thread created to report channel line-up errors on different platforms.

If you have a problem with listings you think should be there - I suggest you report them using the proper channels (TiVo CS).

These are already in Tivo, of course.

TOMORROW (ie Tuesday):
Diva TV - 192 / Movies 24+1 - 425 / TrueMovies - 428
I assume these will be added in the next download? Are there listings available?They will be added once active - or when VM advise them to be added.

Following rescan etc, Dave appears fine with correct schedule etc, but recorded programs on Now Playing have UK-Gold logo. :confused:

NB I've never messed with logos. This is an unadulterated TiVo and disk has never been out and never had a serial cable or network card near it! Successful phone connection around 11am today.

That is because Dave is really a further rename from the original UKTV Gold 2.

Thanks. Now I know the historical context of Dave's UKGold logo, I can live with it.
It clearly makes perfect sense for those of you with Sky or Cable. Of course, for those of us on Freeview, who never had UKTV Gold 2 before, it's a bit like adding Radio 4 with a logo saying "Home Service" :rolleyes:

Complete and up to date Logos are one more wicked temptation for me to move into the dark underworld of disk swaps, TiVoweb cards and Bash prompts, but this forum provides ample evidence of what a horrible addiction this is. My TiVo dependent family look on me with a mixture of irritation and concern when I excitedly read the latest "Lineup Change" and retune the Freeview box. If they caught me opening up TiVo or anything went wrong after I was messing with it remotely from my computer it could lead to complete family breakdown. :D

I am told that the current TiVo software does not actually delete SPs for deleted channels - justs hides them. They can then be restored if the channel comes back with the same id.

I'm not sure this happens on 2.5 but am told it should.

I didn't have any SPs for Virgin1 - so am looking for feedback to see if it is true with 2.5

The problem was with VIRG1 - on Sky and cable. Freeview users a different callsign and was OK.

Mmm

Are you sure the SP is on Virgin1 and Not Virgin1+1 ?

Definitely Virgin 1, channel 153. Virgin+1 is not in channels I receive for some reason. Come to think of it, I didn't know there was a Virgin+1!

ozsat

10-26-2007, 05:17 AM

Virgin1+1 should be in the channel preferences on 154 - you'll need to select it from there.

Yeah it is there. I have not added it to my channels I receive because I didn't know it existed. I will do so now.

I can't seem to do it through TW. I'll do it when I get home.

Sorry to go a bit OT.

Verne

10-26-2007, 07:28 AM

It's been a couple of hours since I did a daily call now. Virgin 1 seems to have gone from channels I watch. The season pass seems to be there but inactive. If I click on VIRG1 on channels I receive I get an error "Error: Unknown Station '152293'". The season pass for DS9 is then listed underneath. If I click on it it shows two recordings in Now Showing but no upcoming showings.

To fix this I just need to add the channel back in. I can't see how to do this in TW so will do it when I get home.

I also cannot see how to set it to record this afternoon's episode. I know you can use a manual recording but I don't have that module installed for some reason.

I've found that when tivo drops a channel then puts it back next day, you have to add it to channels I receive AND then add it to your favourites again. This has never happened to a station that I've had a SP for, so I can't comment on whether SPs are dropped too.

awaiting news on an 'adult' restore now

They reappeared in my nightly download at 3am. The strange thing is I didn't notice a message previously in which they went missing but may be I am subliminally programmed to ignore all messages about channels in the high 900s.

However seeing as Tivo does not provide EPG data for any of these channels at all (not even Playboy One on 912 which is both FTA and does have adult programs rather than just phone in 09 slapper on a sofa live tv as most of the other FTAs do) does their existence or otherwise in the Tivo channel numbers really make much difference?

I'm surprised that www.freesatfromsky.co.uk and Sky Pay Once Watch Forever does not focus more attention on the existence of Ch 912 on Freesat, which surely ought to be a key selling feature compared to Freeview. On the other hand perhaps they fear a backlash from the militant feminists in their potential customer base.

I think I'm going stark raving bonkers! No, seriously. Something very strange is going on.

I've just treated myself to the Sky Movies channels for a month and, for the last week or so, everything's recorded fine.

However, after realising that a film I was supposedly recording wasn't actually being shown, I decided to find out why.

It turns-out that my Tivo and my VM STB do not agree on the channel numbers; like so....

Tivo
401 Comedy
402 Action
403 Family
404 SF/Horror
405 Classics
406 Indie
407 Modern
408 Drama
409 SD1
410 SD2
411 Prem
412 Prem+1

VM
401 Prem
402 Prem+1
403 Comedy
404 Action
405 Family
406 Drama
407 SF/Horror
408 Classics
409 Modern
410 Indie
411 SD1
412 SD1

But it doesn't end there!!

I thought I'd just see what DigiGuide thought, so fired it up. At first, I'm absolutely sure it agreed with Tivo, but then I noticed that "406 Indie" was missing, so added it. Then the programme updated to download the listings for the 'new' channel. When it had finished, all the channels had switched around and now DG agrees with my VM STB.

Have I missed a Sky announcement about a change in the channel numbering and, if so, when will Tivo catch up?

Well, now that channels are back in sync, my movies are recording perfectly; mostly. There's just the odd hiccup where I don't get the movie I expected, even though the correct channel is recording.

So I check CIR and have spotted the problem:

Yes, you're not seeing things! There's four different channels on two different numbers :( Oh well! I have now de-selected the "wrong" ones so all should now be well :)
