TiVo Platform/Channel Lineup Errors

[ozsat]

WEDNESDAY 25th OCTOBER 2006

Following are details of the current channel line-up errors on TiVo for supported platforms. If anybody knows of any others - or is aware that any of the following have been fixed - then please post a reply that includes your the first part of your postcode and your platform (ie: OX1 Sky Digital, NW1 NTL ex-C&W, etc.).

Local issues are not normally listed here - but reports of local issues are welcome and will be investigated. This includes regular terrestrial problems.

Before you report a problem - it is suggested that you perform a 'daily call' to ensure you have the most up-to-date line-up. Allow around 30 minutes after the call has 'succeeded' before you check in the 'Customised Channels' list for the latest line-up.

If your preferred platform is not listed - then post as much information as possible here (ie: post code and channel line-up) and it can be investigated. However, you may need to contact TiVo Customer Services regarding set-top-box compatibility.

Please keep the reports in this thread to channel line-up errors and NOT programming issues which should be in the TiVo Programme Listings/Schedule Errors (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29736) thread.

Sky Digital (Digital Satellite): :up:

Freeview/Top Up TV (Digital Terrestrial): :up:

NTL Digital (Langley): :up:

NTL Digital (Bromley): :up:

NTL Digital (Knowsley - ex Telewest): :up:

HomeChoice: :up:

Note: Some set-top-boxes allow you to alter the numbering of the channels in its EPG. However, to use the system correctly with TiVo - you must use the default listing and not the cutomised lists.

I have reduced the length of this thread by producing an inactive ARCHIVE: TiVo Channel Lineup Errors (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63819) thread. This current thread should still be used for outstanding issues!

The new TopUp cut-down schedule version of Eurosport is being worked on and will soon be available on TiVo.

UPDATE: should be available to download from Thursday (late morning).

[Gavin]

NTL are adding to the base pack, I don't think this qualifies as a line up error as there already listed, and I don't recall if Tivo differentiates between what pack you have.

The new to base pack are

UKTV Gold, Living TV, TCM, MTV, VH1, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Discovery Channel and Discovery Travel & Living


Edited addition:

These channels currently exist in the family pack, they are not new channels just being shuffled around (probably justifying the last price hike).

The mystery of the disappearing TVEI channel is being investigated.

[Milhouse]

Channel: Sky Movies 1/2 (SKYM1 46/SKYM2 45), Sky Cinema 1 (SKYCN1 47), Disney Channel (European) (DISNEY 44)
Postcode: CR0 (Croydon, South London)
Provider: Telewest, Analogue Cable

Telewest dropped the above channels from their analogue service at the end of June (in CR0 at least). No channel updates have been received from TiVo so unless these channels are manually removed from "Channels I receive" my TiVo continues to record SPs as my TiVo is still downloading EPG for these non-existant channels.

Also, UKDrama appears to have disappeared - previously it shaired airtime with UK Style (both on channel 7) but now UK Style seems to be dominating, not sure what's going on here.

MORE4 was added to TiVo on the day MORE4 launched.

[shoi]

problem solved!

what fooled me (and what i didn't say clearly) was that if I chose channel 165 then tivo tuned to it ok, and told me what was on and everything

Thanks for the help

In regards to the two Freeview changes - I expected them in today's download.

They are not there - and I don't yet know why.

[Ian_m]

I got the TiVo Freeview updates last night (MM -> 32 and MORE4P1 on 31).

Also remember to re-scan you settop box (in may case SetPal just turn off and on and it asks if you want to re-scan).

Also remember to do a full restart of TiVoWeb or else your channels will be wrong/missing.

[=CM=]

Freeview's MM move should really have been caught earlier for boxes like setpal which detect it overnight but the move was very underpublicised (and confusing when you consider how recent the major Freeview LCN shakeup was).

Minor oddity for London postcode using analogue (CP) and DTT: I have (aer) Sky One listed on 46, (aer) BBC3 on 50 and (aer) BBC4 on 52. No such channels exist via the aerial. Tivo has only ever known OnDodgy/Freeview/Crystal Palace.

Whoops forgot to say I have the Autoscan off on my SetPal as I got fed up with it scanning half way through a TiVo'ed programme recorded in the middle of the night.

[=CM=]

The analogue channels are not just for the main transmitter - but also for any overlaps from other transmitters and possible cable distribution networks. Still would not explain entries for Skyone/BBC3/BBC4 from analogue aerial. BBC1/2/ITV/C4/C5 are surely the only aer stations? Otherwise they'd be listed as cab channels. Unless you're saying some people get Skyone in London on some distrib net on ch. 46?

[AMc]

=CM= if you have cable you can direct tune to some channels over RF.
There are unencrypted RF channels on my TeleWest Digital feed but I don't have it directly connected to the TV. If your postcode overlaps a cable area you will find these references in your lineup.

[ozsat]

CAB channels are cable channel via set-top-box - AER channels are channels fed by RF lead from terrestrial transmitter or cable.

TiVo does not hold a record for every post code - but blocks of post codes.

For the record, 046 is Sky One's RF signal on Westminster cable.

[=CM=]

ozsat, thanks for the explaination. I thought the mystery ch46 was an error. The local excuse of a cable service (I once subscribed to pre-Tivo) has offset channels for the main 4 but no extras such as RF Skyone (well, it did but on VHF...)

[cwaring]

Looks like TW have sneaked a new channel in without telling anyone. No, not ITV4 or Sky 2 or Sky 3, unfortunately :( However, it may be of interest to someone :)

South Asia World is now on Channel 820. It is currently available in all packages though I don't know if this it permanent or not.

[scoopuk]

The new flextech channel PLAYER has arrived for Telewest users, but it is wrongly listed on Tivo as channel 152, it should be 154.

[csteinle]

While Cartoon Network +1 has been shutdown and replaced by Boomerang +1 on Telewest Digital, it's been given a new channel number. It is on 731, not 705 as TiVo has it.

[csteinle]

Telewest Digital has the London/English variations of BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Ch4 and Five on 851-855 in all areas.

[ozsat]

Re Telewest: Boomerang should fix on Wednesday - others on Thursday

[cwaring]

Telewest Digital has the London/English variations of BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Ch4 and Five on 851-855 in all areas.
This is correct. They are the 'Audio Described' versions of these channels. I think they're really just for "testing" purposes at the moment, but not 100% certain :)

[csteinle]

It's been a very long test if that's the case.

[cwaring]

Just telling you what I know :) I do wonder why they haven't launched them on the correct channels yet. I might try and find out.

[ozsat]

AD is only on London channels on D-Sat.

[cwaring]

Ahh. That'll be it then :)

[cwaring]

I have heard that ITV4 will launch on Telewest today. Are Tivo aware of this, Oz?

[ozsat]

TW are not too good at providing info in advance - so no

[cwaring]

Well, I can confirm that is is there so perhaps you could sort it out? :D

[ozsat]

On Telewest, ITV4 will appear on TiVo in Saturday's download and CITV on Sunday.

[cwaring]

Disney's new channel, Cinemagic, has launched today on ntl:Telewest on Channel 728. At the same time, the original Disney Channel (724) has been "downgraded" to a standard channel and is now available on the top, Supreme, Pack on TW.

You can read the full Press Release here (http://www.telewestinfo.co.uk/news.shtml#disney)

Ozsat. I assume Tivo will make the required changes asap? If they didn't know before, they do now ;)

Edit1 to add: Of course, they only need to add Cinemagic. All NTL:TW Tivo users can just add the original DC to their "CIR" :D

Edit2: Seems I mis-read the Press Release. It's on the top package only. Sorry!

[ozsat]

TW and NTL will be updated on Saturday's download.

Interesting that cable has lost the +1 channel - which Sky retains as Cinemagic+1

[AMc]

Not that interesting - we're still down 2/3 FilmFour channels on Telewest :(

[cwaring]

Not to worry, they're going 'free' in April anyway :D

[blackadder]

Postcode: NG13

Channel 19 is now Disney Cinemagic

[ozsat]

Due to timing issues - Vectone channels will drop off TiVo today and come back tomorrow - after there few days leave from Sky.

[dermiestv]

Hi,

More4 data at Channel 142 is still missing on Tivo for Sky Digital RoI settings.

thanks

[manolan]

As of this morning, More4+1 seems to have been removed from my Freeview line-up, but the Radio Times says it is still there.

[ozsat]

I would tend to trust TiVo - what does your Freeview box show you? ;)

As of this morning, More4+1 seems to have been removed from my Freeview line-up, but the Radio Times says it is still there.

[dallardice]

More4+1 apparently removed from Freeview to make way for live BB streaming.

[Richardr]

and then FilmFour once Big Brother is over.

Of course with a TIVO (or similar) a plus one hour channel isn't necessary :)

[kitschcamp]

Yeah it is, to deal with clashes.

ntl reshuffle on 6th September:
http://www.ntlworld.com/microsites/tvradio/newchannelnumbers/

I assume TiVo are aware of this, and will deal with it for us....

All channels will be 3 digits (which is a shame, as I find 3 digit channel changes are much less reliable than 1 or 2 digit ones)

[ozsat]

Yes - although a couple of channels still have queries - but 99% are OK.

[ozsat]

Feel free to discuss the NTL/Telewest renumbering in NTL / Telewest - channel renumbering (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=312847)

[cwaring]

The good news: Telewest has added FX to it's line-up.
The bad news: It's only available on the top package :(

Are Tivo aware, oz?

[ozsat]

It's in tonight's update.

[cwaring]

I shoulda known :D

[ozsat]

Five US and Five Life will be added to Sky on Thursday on both TiVo and Sky - but Five Life changed number today - so for one day it will be on the wroing number on TiVo.

There are no programmes until Sunday anyway - so its not a problem - and SPs can be set on the wrong number.

[simon]

My TiVo now thinks that FilmFour is on ch 29 (actually uktv food) and E4P1 is 30 (actually ITV4) and a few others around that. What can I do to fix this?

I am in the Ulster TV region, with Freeview

Thanks

Mine has started doing the same recently. Arghhh.

I missed programmes because of this. :'(

[ozsat]

UKTV Food closed on DTT and no longer exists on DTT.

On 4th October - the following moved on Freeview:

E4+1 from 32 to 30
ITV Play from 35 to 31
Film 4 from 31 to 29
ITV 4 from 30 to 28
Quizcall from 36 to 32
Five Life was added channel 36
Five US was added channel 35

TiVo is correct - but set-top-boxes need updating.

[Jasp]

TiVo is correct - but set-top-boxes need updating.

That's what I thought when it happened. I did a rescan on my freeview box and nothing changed.

I'll try again :|

Edit: Okay.. Now it's changed :) Thanks

[ozsat]

Some confusion over the numbers of Five Life and Five US on cable.

TiVo was advised by NTL that they will be on 148 and 149 - while Five advised them it would be 185 and 186. Telewest wouldn't confirm a launch for their platform at all while Five said the launch will take place on the launch date for both platforms.

This morning, Five Life as been added to NTL 149 and is also now on TiVo. Five US is due to tomorrow on 148 (and will also appear then on TiVo).

But on TW, Five US (which launches tomorrow) has been added to 185 today while Five Life which launches today has not appeared yet.

TiVo is adding them to 148/149 on TW - in line with their common numbering system released by both NTL and TW :confused:

TW will be corrected on TiVo in due course - but will not be seen until Wednesday.

I personally would have expected NTL and TW to have been the same - so one or other is likely to move. :rolleyes:

[...coolstream]

Thanks for the update, ozsat.

Just checked and indeed, just 185 is showing on the TW box.

There is no mention of either of the 'fives' on my Tivo as yet.

I also noticed that Sky Three is not listed on either TW or Tivo. Checking the TW site, it looks as if Sky Three is not carried. Is this right?

Another forced call is still showing those channels on 148 and 149 on the Tivo, so I guess I'll have to wait until Wednesday as you originally suggested.

[cwaring]

But on TW, Five US (which launches tomorrow) has been added to 185 today while Five Life which launches today has not appeared yet.
Just an FYI. That was (of course) a mistake. Someone switched the wrong channel on. The error was corrected by mid-afternoon.

[ozsat]

NTL have now moved the 'Five' channels to 185/186 - so both TW and NTL will now be fixed in Wednesday's update.

[RWILTS]

Thanks for the last, answers my problem. Will wait till wednesday.

This is probably due to the fact that Sky haven't actually announced the start date yet! Last week their forum promised an announcement on the 6th (today), but I just checked and there is no sign of one yet. If you check Sky's listings there are various "TBA" slots for the week of the 18th, but that is all.

[...coolstream]

Is it true that Film Four+1 is going to Freeview on November 16th? ...and if so, is there any word of this being changed on the lineups?

[ozsat]

Whatever channel replaces Quizcall will be added to the TiVo line-up - but not before it happens.

[ozsat]

Some techinal problems have meant this week's new channels have not yet appeared on Sky or Freeview.

Hopefully, all should be OK in Friday morning's download.

Film4+1 now showing on my Freeview box (32)...

Also, BBC Parliament is now fullscreen on Freeview (81), but you have to do a rescan to get it to change from its former freeview smallscreen.

That's good - I wondered if there were still problems which meant Film4+1 was not added (I don't have a Freeview setup TiVo here).

When I moved from Freeview back to Cable (specifically NTL) I think I must have chosen a wrong setting somwhere as my Tivo now thinks that I'm in the 'Central' ITV region when I'm actually still in the 'Yorkshire' region (ie I get "Calendar" from central Leeds).

I seem to recall that there was more than one NTL line-up to choose (Langley or Bromley or something?) so I guess I chose the wrong one but I don't remember which I picked. Which one should I have selected.

It's not that much of a problem as I never record any 'local' ITV programmes anyway (not that there are many these days ;)) but I thought I might re-run GS at some point just to sort it out.

Thanks,

The NTL areas are very odd. A relative of mine living in Pimlico, London has to pick NTL Lewisham for the right digital cable lineup on Tivo and not NTL Westminster. which you might expect to be a more appropriate geographic match.

hi all,

I have been through the thread, but no help. Can anyone please help?

I don't have the correct line up for ITV or BBC1, I live in the KA1 area of Scotland, what do I do to get the correct tv listings. I tried to record Bryan Ferry the other night on BBC1 but the times were out. :confused: SORRY I am using SKY DIGITAL!

BBC News 24 has moved to channel 601 on Virgin Media (from channel 610).

London SE3, Virgin Media CATV, ex-NTL Bromley

[cwaring]

Confirmed. Same here. Also, my Tivo tells me that it's removed Discovery Kids (721 DKIDS) from my line-up, but the channel is still there :confused: (I don't get the channel myself but thought it worthy of mention as a heads-up anyway.)

[RichardJH]

Middlesex/West London. BBC News24 still on 610. Channel 721 (was DiscKids) now has a VM channel no longer available page showing

[Pete77]

BBC News 24 has moved to channel 601 on Virgin Media (from channel 610).

London SE3, Virgin Media CATV, ex-NTL Bromley

That makes it look like the loss of the Sky channels is actually permanent then if Virgin has already so quickly decided to promote the BBC News 24 service to 601.

I expect we will soon here of the launch of Virgin One and equally exciting American series that Virgin has lined up the rights to show and that Sky doesn't have the rights to.

[cwaring]

Channel 721 (was DiscKids) now has a VM channel no longer available page showing
Interesting. I wasn't aware that that channel was affected by this spat :confused: Will have to check that out with VM themselves.

[ozsat]

The BBC News 24 move was pre-scheduled and was due on 2nd March. It was in the TiVo list before the Sky announcement.

The Sky channels will remain on TiVo for a few days - just in case. If they are removed then all SPs will be lost.

[Pete77]

The BBC News 24 move was pre-scheduled and was due on 2nd March. It was in the TiVo list before the Sky announcement.

Seems more than a coincidence if you ask me. Can I take it that Sky News was on 601 previously? If so what channel number has blank screen Sky News now been assigned to?

I suppose Sky will now be more keen than ever to take their three channels off Freeview so Virgin customers can't get two thirds of what they have lost by that means.

[RichardJH]

On my setup SkyNews has always been on 602 never had anything on 601.

The Discovery Kids thing is totally seperate from the VM/Sky dispute. I believe Discovery is altering and renaming some of its channels.

[cwaring]

Indeed it is. Here's the details:

- Discovery Kids has been withdrawn from the UK
- Discovery Wings has been re-named to Discovery Turbo
- Adventure One has been re-named to National Geographic Wild.

It's not the first time I have seen similar changes being reported by tivo and the cable provider taking an extra day to play catch up.

But as it stands, we are now down on SkyNews and cannot access News24 via the tivo remote.

I'd much rather have had the tivo temporarily disable the sky channels to be frank :confused:

Tivo hasn't done anything to the Sky channels because the EPG is still there. The decision to remove them from channels you recieve and deletion of any SPs is yours.

The change of BBC News 24 channel number may be a mistake I'm sure Ozsat will advise us

[RichardJH]

Just got off the phone with VM customer services and have been told that BBC News 24 will be going to 601 but couldn't give me an exact date and time.

This sort of thing has happened before where Tivo and/or the digital platform be it Sky or cable have not synced there changes.

[cwaring]

It's already there for me. Must be a regional thing :(

Carl do you mean it is showing as 601 on the Tivo AND goes to 601 on your cable box

Tivo hasn't done anything to the Sky channels because the EPG is still there. The decision to remove them from channels you recieve and deletion of any SPs is yours.

The change of BBC News 24 channel number may be a mistake I'm sure Ozsat will advise us
Technically though I don't receive those stations anymore.

The reason I bring this up is that I am under the assumption that if the channels are no longer received, the SP will be cancelled, or does it not work that way?

[RichardJH]

As I understand it if the platform includes a channel that you have deselected as not recieved probably because of changing your TV package then if you still have a SP or Wishlist listed which looks to that channel Tivo will try to change to that channel. Then it is possible that you could get an onscreen message needing a press OK to remove it.

If the channel is removed totally from the platform then I believe the SP is either removed or becomes ineffective.

[ColinYounger]

showing as 601 on the Tivo AND goes to 601 on your cable boxYes for me.

[ozsat]

My BBC News 24 moved to 601 today

[RichardJH]

Thanks Colin.

I guess I will have to wait for it to change in my area. The only thing I record of that channel is Click so I have set that to record with the V+ :D :D

BTW have you decided on getting the V+ yet.

Up to now I have been very pleased with the V+ and depending on how it performs over the next week or so I may release it from the constraints of having a Tivo attached to it and revert that Tivo back to Freeview. I won't lose the benefits of the Tivo EPG because I have full cable lineup seperately on that one

Thanks, that's the way I understand it too.

In the hope that one day the Sky channels might return (and primarily for users who have several SPs on Sky), might it be fair to request that these channels be removed from the cable package list in tivo temporarily?

[ozsat]

If you still have BBC News on 610 - does rebooting the Virgin box help?

[RichardJH]

If you still have BBC News on 610 - does rebooting the Virgin box help?

No. I have rebooted both a standard cable box and a V+ box and still BBC News24 on 610.

[...coolstream]

I don't know if my request was granted or it was scheduled to happen anyway. This morning tivo gave me a message that the three Sky channels have been removed and 120 is now VM VOD (as previously reported).

The Sky SP scheduled progs have been removed from 'todo' AND SP lists (good thing I made a backup yesterday!)

So, if the Sky channels ever reappear, it means that we'll have to restore any SPs we had on those channels.

With regards to News24, my local area still has it on 610 even after resetting the VM box. It's definitely a local issue because the EPG guide is still the old telewest blue one too.

I got this worrying message yesterday


From: The TiVo Service
Date: Sat 3rd Mar 2007

The TiVo Service has detected a change in your lineup.

Added:
120 VMIC
Deleted:
120 SKYONE
121 SKYTWO
288 SKYTRVD
289 STRAVX
517 SKYSPN
602 SKYNEWS

... If any channels were removed, the scheduled recordings on those channels have been deleted.I had hoped they wouldn't do that, as I don't want to lose all my Season Passes on those channels - and I'm still hoping that Sky and Virgin make up (or am I being too optimistic?).

I was pleasantly surprised to see that all those channels are still there and have schedule information. All the SPs I can remember are still there too. Any ideas what's going on?

As a precaution, I now made a backup of my Season Passes with TivoWebPlus, though I don't know how easy it will be to restore just the Sky SPs if they are removed later.

Tim.

[VirginMedia (ex-NTL) cable, OX4]

[cwaring]

Yeah. I don't think you can 'restore' just some SPs. I'm actually not really missing Sky One all that much :)

[b166er]

Warning about Life On Mars. I have a SP for LOM on BBC4 which has a higher priority than the SP for LOM that I have on BBC1. I assume I'll always be getting the BBC4 recording because the BBC1 episode will always be seen as a repeat.

Today I noticed that the BBC1 SP is scheduled to record (the repeat IRA episode) but the BBC4 SP wasn't planning to do anything. Unfortunately I fixed it (by deleting my BBC1 SP) before I figured out why.

Just a warning, if you have SP's for both channels, check 'em out. They might not be doing what you expect tonight.

[AMc]

FWIW BBC.co.uk seem to think that BBC1 will be showing
Episode 3/8. A bomb warning is reported and A-Division go on red alert, 1973 style. Sam questions the assumption that it's the IRA and must persuade colleagues to earn the trust of the Irish community. [AD,S]
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/listings/index.shtml?service_id=4223

And BBCFour will be showing
Episode 2/8. Series 2. A spate of armed robberies lead Manchester's CID unit to prison to interview notorious safe-cracker Dickie Fingers, but a dangerous gang are desperate to get a hold of him first. [AD,S]
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/listings/programme.shtml?filename=20070306/20070306_2200_4544_4168_60&day=today&service_id=4544

So if you've been recording BBC4 and BBC1 from the beginning there is nothing to see this week. What actually happens is anyone's guess - I'm recording BBC4 as there is nothing conflicting and it's more likely to be a new episode as BBC1 didn't show Life on Mars last week.

[b166er]

Well that's interesting. Digiguide and TiVo think it's episode 4. Having seen #3 already I'll just leave my recording for BBC4 and it'll either be new or not. I think the football last week messed things up.

[Pete77]

At least my complaint emailed directly to the Producer and Director of the program and also to the Controller of BBC1 during the last series about there being no repeat showing of this program on either BBC3 or BBC4 seems to have borne some fruit.

The only repeats during the last series were those for the deaf with signing that happened in the middle of the night on BBC1 several weeks after original transmission.

[cwaring]

Yeah, the footy last week really screwed things up. As I understand it, instead of BBC4 showing the next episode, I think they're supposed to now be showing the last (or current) episode.

Not 100% sure :)

[Pete77]

I only seem to have one episode recorded by my Tivo from this series. :eek: :( :down:

[cwaring]

That's not your Tivo's fault. Mine's recorded them all so far :p

[b166er]

So, we got Ep 3 on BBC1 and Ep 2 on BBC4.

Instead of seeing "next week's episode" on BBC4 we get "last week's episode".

It was amusing the announcer saying "so, in case you missed it, here's last week's episode" .... there was no episode last week coz of the football.

No idea how it'll be next week. Both channels have shown all 3 episodes.

[cwaring]

Well it's now officially 'catch-up' on BBC4: http://www.bbc.co.uk/lifeonmars/series2/

[Pete77]

It was amusing the announcer saying "so, in case you missed it, here's last week's episode" .... there was no episode last week coz of the football.

Why can't the BBC have episode titles in their data like everyone else do. You would have thought they would have been a leading light and not a laggard on this kind of thing. All the BBC1 and the BBC4 episodes of Life on Mars have is just UNKNOWN. At least for Top Gear we do get a date as the episode name. Also why do my Upcoming Showings for Life on Mars on BBC1 in TivoWeb for March 13th show episodes for all 12 English regions and not just BBC1LDN as it should do? I note that there are no regions in Scotland or Wales listed though. Why exactly is this?

Some of you with strong views on the Life on Mars scheduling fiasco might care to email the Controller of BBC One - Peter Fincham -

See www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/biographies/biogs/controllers/peterfincham.shtml

[cwaring]

Some of you with strong views on the Life on Mars scheduling fiasco ...
Fiasco? I think that's over-stating it; a lot! So they changed it from a "preview" to a "catch-up". Big deal :rolleyes:

And before you get on your high-horse, I totally respect your right to your opinion, but just happen to disagree :)

[Pete77]

It would be nice if the BBC could at least be consistent about using proper Episode titles in all their EPG data. For instance Doctor Who had proper named episode titles for each episode as my Tracker history shows but two other major BBC series, Life on Mars and Top Gear, do not. Or is this lack of consistency in providing episode titles not down to the BBC at all but down to Tribune treating different series differently for data?

I suspect it is possibly connected with whether the program was made in house at the BBC (as Doctor Who was) or whether it is made externally under contract by a third party company for the BBC, as both Life on Mars and Doctor Who are. It appears that many of these third party companies simply don't bother to provide episode name data to some BBC databases and that the BBC is then too lazy to add the missing episode titles and correct plot subsequently itself.

As to Life on Mars I think the policy of allowing a week's advance showing of a very popular series on a channel many people still cannot watch is very suspect indeed. What on earth do TV Critics do in this kind of situation. Do they write up on the new Life on Mars episodes on the day it first comes out on BBC4 (so upsetting all the BBC1 viewers with no BBC4 access) or do they wait for the program to be shown on BBC1 a week later to write their reviews, purely so as to not upset readers who cannot yet access BBC4. Using BBC4 for a repeat showing is surely still a much safer option.

[cwaring]

Just to clairfy one point. As far as I know, "Dr Who" is actually an 'in-house' production of BBC Wales. So that's that theory kinda blown ;)

[Pete77]

Just to clairfy one point. As far as I know, "Dr Who" is actually an 'in-house' production of BBC Wales. So that's that theory kinda blown ;)

No it conforms perfectly with my stated theory in the above post contrasting "in-house" made Dr Who with "out of house" Life on Mars and Top Gear. That is in house made programs have proper episode titles and out of house programs don't and either have only UNKNOWN or just the date of first transmission.

They will come to realise their mistake during the course of the current PayPal investigation.

Nothing less than a public apology will do, under the circumstances. Heads should roll.

(To answer the question, you'll need to re-select it in Channels I Receive, but SPs should survive; you can't thumb a channel)

Well I have to say you gave me a good belly laugh there Rob, whether intentionally or not.

I suspect that almost every time a Tivo owner misses a program due to an error in Tribune's data and/or especially due to a failure to use existing SP series identities for a new series of the same program on the same channel there will be Tivo owners out there hoping for precisely what you suggest to happen to the guilty Tribune employee.

But to be fair though does anyone ever thank Tribune's staff on all those countless occasions on which they actually get things completely right? :up:

Hiya,
This is my first post so please be nice to me!
Since maybe last Thursday/Friday my Tivo channel numbers don't line up with my Sky channel numbers from around 131 onwards, in particular Sky says E4 is 140 and Tivo says its 138 which has then also bumped E4+1 and M4 onto the wrong numbers. A lot of the channels which follow these numbers are wrong also. Is this my Tivo's problem or a bigger thing?

As you have a Sky box the failure to align Tivo channel listings to the new Sky channel numbers has to be down to miscommunication between Sky and Tribune who produce the UK listings for our Tivos. If you had a Freeview box I would be telling you to rescan the channel numbers but in the case of a Sky box this does not apply as they auto rescan themselves every night.

Thus its simply a case of waiting for Tivo's Sky channel lineup to catch up with the actual Sky channel changes in a day or two's time as hinted at above by Ozsat re the Discovery Channel number problems.

Thanks to Ozsat who says UK Food + 1 will be added when the channel finishes its "test" phase. Well it is listed on Virgin Media channel line-up...AND... It has been available since at least last October.

I phoned Tivo and they say they have to wait for NTL/VM to provide the information. ie Tivo can't do anything. I make it nearly 10 months now....shouldn't VM have got this issued by now?

As an alternative thought is there any way, within Tivo, we can add channel numbers so that "test" channels can be added to Tivo's EPG without having to wait (forever) for VM to get their act together??....even a dummy channel entry without EPG info....just so Tivo can change to the channel.

Quatermass earlier tonight had a date of 2007, but more likely to be 1977 (OK I think it's '79 but you get my point) it's over 30 years only. Is it a case of Tribune not putting the date in or just not getting the date in the first place. It's OK for modern shows but a lot of older stuff frequently has the wrong dates in it.

Looking in to the data on an upcoming showing it's just way wrong, the OAD is completey stuffed.

FYI on Freeview

I got a Tivo message yesterday telling me that Film4+1 had gone and that I was getting C4P1 on 13 instead.
Since then my Freeview box listings for Channel4 channels were inconsistent with Tivo with the box banner indicating a different channel to the one Tivo thought is was recording.

Tivo | Freeview | Channel Number
C4 | Channel4 | 4
C4P1 | More 4 | 13
E4 | Film4 | 29
E4P1 | E4+1 | 30
Film4 | Film4+1 | 32

A quick "Add channels" on the Freeview STB has put everything back to normal but I figured this was the most appropriate place to post a FYI message for anyone else suitably confused.

Now to create a load of C4+1 season passes to pick up from the E4+1 passes I just lost and to explain what has happened to my parents Freeview Tivo.

[RichardJH]

and you need to do a full reload of TivoWeb to bring that into line as well

FYI on Freeview

I got a Tivo message yesterday telling me that Film4+1 had gone and that I was getting C4P1 on 13 instead.
Since then my Freeview box listings for Channel4 channels were inconsistent with Tivo with the box banner indicating a different channel to the one Tivo thought is was recording.

Tivo | Freeview | Channel Number
C4 | Channel4 | 4
C4P1 | More 4 | 13
E4 | Film4 | 29
E4P1 | E4+1 | 30
Film4 | Film4+1 | 32

A quick "Add channels" on the Freeview STB has put everything back to normal but I figured this was the most appropriate place to post a FYI message for anyone else suitably confused.

Tivo | Freeview | Channel Number
C4 | Channel4 | 4
C4P1 | Channel4+1 | 13
E4 | E4 | 29
E4P1 | E4+1 | 30
Film4 | Film4 | 32



Now to create a load of C4+1 season passes to pick up from the E4+1 passes I just lost and to explain what has happened to my parents Freeview Tivo.

My tivo is getting mixed on these channels as well, I presume it will be fixed on a download?

TiVo is correct - if your lineup is different then you need to re-scan your set-top-box.

The correct line-up has Channel4+1 on 13, E4 on 29, E4+1 on 30 and Film4 on 32.

Sorry for being a techy numpty :(

Have tried rescanning my STB and no joy, the channels on the tivo don't match the stb. I vaguely remember asking tech at tivo and they told me to do something with the tivo, god only remembers what though :confused:

You have to manually enable C4+1 on the Tivo as it is a new channel. Tivo only automatically handles channel number changes you already have set as enabled to receive in Channels I Receive.

[MarkH]

Ok I think I have tired to align them manually, but one remains unresolved, the tivo and stb don't seem to want to be mixed up on e4 and film4, once again apologies about the amateur questions!

You need to do a Full Rescan on your Freeview box and not just an Add Chanels, otherwise the changed channel numbers for these channels won't take effect on the Freeview box.

It is your Freeview box and not the Tivo that is at fault here.

Sky (Kids) update running late :(

[rickynumber18]

Typical. School holidays and it runs late. Someone obviously doesn't have kids at TiVo!!

[ALanJay]

Indeed major problems with my son today nearly had a riot - had to manually record the wrong channel - luckly CBBC repeats the programmes he likes.

Any idea when the update to the kids section is likely to go through :(

[ozsat]

Should be OK now - although I can not check yet.

Channel corrections will normally appear around an hour after a succesful update.

[ALanJay]

Well that is good to know - doesn't yet seem to have come through to my Tivo but will check again later.

[Pete77]

Well that is good to know - doesn't yet seem to have come through to my Tivo but will check again later.

Why not force a daily call manually?

[lcsneil]

Well my Tivo (Freeview London) is still showing More 4 on 13 and E4 on 14.

No sign of C4+1 - even when I go into setup and channels I receive.

Forced a daily call. Still nothing after 24 hours.

Any idea how I get it to show C4+1 on 13?

(Bizarrely enough I just totally rescanned my STB as well and it has C4+1 on channel 13 but my EPG shows it as Film4+1

[RichardJH]

If the fault is with the EPG on the Freeview box then do a full reinstall of the freeview box.
If you mean the EPG showing wrong on the Tivo have you had the message saying you have a lineup change

[lcsneil]

Both!

Have done a full install from scratch on the Freeviw box (NOT add channels) and also the Tivo is wrong (I realise that these two are unrelated).

Cant remember if I have had a line up change (guess it would have been 10 days ago.)

If I havent then it isnt downloading it and if I did it hasn't changed me channels!

So what to do now?

Neil

[ozsat]

Could this be problem with your extras (TiVoWeb etc) - what is your postcode?

[lcsneil]

W6

[ozsat]

I've just check W6 which only has one Freeview option during Guided Setup - and C4P1 is listed on 013.

Seems as if the problem is with your TiVo/TiVoWeb

[Pete77]

If so rebooting the Tivo and/or restarting Tivoweb might help to correct this.

[mrtickle]

A "full restart" of TiVoweb is needed when the lineup changes, and when you tick new channels in "Channels You Receive".

The lineup messages can be read from TiVoweb's Mail module whether or not you restart it of course, as well as the main UI. Rebooting the whole TiVo won't do anything more other than to give you a few minutes of extra waiting :-)

In this situation though I'd leave TiVoweb until last. First get the Freeview box to match the new lineup changes. Next get TiVo's main UI to give you the same channels, and if you've missed a daily call (and the update) on a crucial day it might involve repeating Guided Setup. Lastly fix tivoweb. HTH

[lcsneil]

Nothing to do with Tivoweb I fewar - it's guided set up time here we come I think.

(Well maybe tomorrow when I have some time)

[Pete77]

The Tivo EPG still wrongly lists Ch158 on Sky Digital as being occupied by Bonanza Tv but Bonanza now seems to have hung up its television hat and ridden off in to the Sky sunset only to be replaced by the considerably more exciting looking (at least for a film buff like me) FTA Film24 channel.

Film24 appeared in the 158 slot at least a week or two ago but Tribune still doesn't seem to have got wise to the fact.

I also wonder if Tribune couldn't give serious consideration to finding some listings for Film24 as the channel seems to contain a variety of interesting programming about the movie making world and has the look of a viable and probably soon to be well watched low numbered Sky FTA channel that might very well be there for the long term.

See www.film24.co.uk for more info on this channel. They are based at the famous Pinewood Studios I see, which rather suggests someone or something interesting is behind this channel.

[biltonl]

For several weeks now TiVo has been recording Film 4 instead of E4, I have performed several manual update calls and done a system (re)set up of my stb settings to no avail. Film 4 and More 4 are also wrong as below.

I am using a Digihome DVB 915 freeview box.

Channel 29 TiVo = E4, Digihome = Film 4
Channel 32 Tivo = Film 4 Digihome = Film 4 + 1
Channel 14 TiVo = More 4 Digihome = More 4

Post Code KT1

Lara

[ozsat]

You need to run a channel scan on your Digihome box as it is not up-to-date - TiVo has correct line-up.

[biltonl]

oops, thank you

[Pete77]

Ch158's name has now been updated by Tribune from Bonanza to Film24. :up: :)

However there are still no program listings for Ch146, Zone Romantica, despite there being listings on Tivo for all other Zone channels and there being an existing program data feed between Zone and Tribune. :down: :mad:

[Logan]

There are 3 New channels on Homechoice / Tiscali
555 Setanta 1
556 Setanta 2
557 Setanta Golf

[Pete77]

I see there is still no EPG for Zone Romantica, even though the other Zone channels all have full EPG listings.

Why is this?

[cwaring]

Hey look everyone! It's caped Zone Crusader :D

[AMc]

As there is no 'no discussion here' in the title....here's what you're missing kids!
http://www.uk.romantica.tv/sections.php?page=tv_guide
Young and the Restless is set in Genoa City, where the Newman and Abbott dynasties stir it up in the bedroom and the boardroom. I'm sure it's someone's cup of tea :D

[cwaring]

Must admit that "Snoops" (http://www.uk.romantica.tv/sections.php?page=highlights&show=3) looks half-way decent; kinda :)

[Pete77]

Ch158's name has now been updated by Tribune from Bonanza to Film24. :up: :)

Amazingly enough Tribune has now commenced providing full EPG program listings for Film24 on Ch158.

Discussion as to why this new channel seems to have received favourable treatment from Tribune (unlike many other recent Freesat channel launches) can be found at www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=5520709&&#post5520709

Originally posted elsewhere:

Some new +1 channels have launched on Virgin Media, but are yet to be recognised by TiVo:

UKTV History +1 (204)
UKTV Documentary +1 (209)
UKTV Food +1 (261)

Also, Virgin1 is replacing FTN so I that's simply a name change :)

[ozsat]

I need the postcode for the missing UKTV channels as they added here on TiVo a couple of weeks ago.

[ColinYounger]

FWIW, I've not got these in the PO4 area - and they're not available for selection in 'Channels I receive'.

[ColinYounger]

Sorry for the reply-spam, but the missing UKTV channels can be tuned to (i.e. STB knows about them, TiVo doesn't).

[RichardJH]

TW13

I have UKTV History +1 (204) and UKTV Food +1 (261) OK

UKTV Documentary +1 (209) does not appear and neither my V+ or standard STB tune to it ????? is it too early

[RichardJH]

:o :o UKTV Documentary +1 is on 226 in my area

[ColinYounger]

Definitely on 209 here. 226 seems to have some National Geographic channel (looking at the logo - yellow square).

[RichardJH]

I guess you must be in an Ex NTL area I am Ex Telewest. I thought that VM had unified all the various areas. I guess not. This info I found helpful http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p7iW9sOilT4w57pZs4z9pGA

[cwaring]

Yeah. Can confirm they're not on my Tivo here (xNTL) either. I'll try the channels directly when JAG finishes recording ;)

Well, JAG's done so I checked and can confirm that, although the channels are there on the STB, they're not in Tivo :(

[ozsat]

Ex-TW has them on different numbers.

[DeadKenny]

Guess it's not an error as such as they wouldn't have known about it in time, but ABC1 has gone. It was supposed to go next month, but they pulled the plug today. Obviously TiVo still lists the channel.

Still not here either. VM, ex-NTL, London SE3.

[ozsat]

Can you post the channel numbers and names you are missing - and the postcode.

The problem seems to be that the channels are not on the same numbers nationally.

[threadkiller]

Apologies if this has been asked, but I cant find it, TiVo have removed FTN according to a mail, but it still shows on both of mine. When do they update to show Virgin 1 starting Monday? post code if needed is EX39
