Amazing Race is scheduled to return on Sunday, 11/4 8PM (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117974484.html?categoryid=14&cs=1) in the spot vacated by Viva Laughlin... note CBS has an NFL double-header (late game: New England at Indianapolis), so pad accordingly.

Tried to schedule, but the 4th isn't on tivo.com or Yahoo TV yet...

Is it going to be HD or still SD?

I'm sure it will still be SD.

TAR12 showed up in my guide data as The Amazing Race 12 this morning. I was able to setup a new season pass for it. :D

I haven't set a season pass to record Amazing Race and I have never missed a single episode. Because of the changing titles for each race, I have set a auto-recording wishlist for "Amazing Race." I haven't missed a single race since perhaps 'Amazing Race 3.' The only drawback is it will catch any "Amazing Race" in a show's description and record it as well, but its easy to just delete them.

Guess you don't get GSN, huh? (If you did, you would have been going crazy deleting their "Amazing Race" reruns from your To Do list.)

Narrow your search down to "Amazing Race 12." That's how it came in on mt guide.

That would defeat the purpose of having an ARWL to catch every season...

Sorry, I thought the OP was trying to find the upcoming season of TAR. :confused:

Just add first run only to the ARWL. IF they have the data set correctly it will work.

Does anybody else have an issue of TAR12 not showing up in the guide data? It's not showing up on the box or online scheduling. It shows up on TVGuide.com's data, but not Yahoo TV.

After fiddling around with the schedule, it looks like Yahoo's scheduling data stops at 4:30 PM 11/2. I imagine that Tivo's data is the same as Yahoo's. Anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve this?

I just scheduled a season pass for it just before posting this post. Funny thing is I originally searched for Amazing Race, and Amazing Race 12 did not show up in the results. I ended up going to 11/4 in the guide, and I saw it was titled "The Amazing Race 12" but I would think my search would have still worked.

Anybody have any help with this? TAR12 is now showing up on YahooTV, but my guide data still doesn't have it. It makes me wonder what else is screwed up with it.

That is the beauty of the new Wishlist features in the 9.x software. I set up a "first run only" ARWL for "reality" shows with two keywords; one for "Amazing Race" with a thumbs up and the other for the generic show description "Eleven teams of two travel the globe" with a thumbs down. It has picked up Season 12 without picking up any episodes from previous seasons.

PS. The same method does a good job avoiding Daily Show & Colbert Report reruns too!

It's not a "phone home" issue as both our units have logged in regularly and my mother in law who lives nearby has the same issue. Online scheduling has the same info as the guide data has.

TAR 12 shows up in my Guide data. I had previously requested a SP via Yahoo TV (IIRC), but had received a message at the time that it hadn't appeared in the TiVo's Guide yet, so conflict's couldn't be determined. It's in the guide now but there was no sign of the SP in the SP list. I've fixed that.

TiVo gets guide data from Tribune Media Services, who also publish it at zap2it.com.

That site shows the Phoenix area messed up for Sunday night. The 6 p.m. show (60 minutes) is listed at 7:00 p.m., the 7 pm show (AR12) is skipped, and the rest of the night is OK. You may try contacting your local CBS affiliate. I imagine it is a problem due to DST change (which you shouldn't have), but it's a starnge manifestation.

Fascinating. (Seriously -- I have DirecTiVo, so I have no knowledge of such things.)

I had the same issue when I last checked on Tuesday night. If I remember tonight, I'll see if it's fixed.

I just checked Zap2it.com & it's corrected there. Still not corrected in online scheduling. I figure it just hasn't propagated in Tivo's servers yet.

When I checked last night on both my TiVos, it wasn't corrected, but it was this morning before I left for work. SP is set.

We're probably looking at a 30-minute pad tonight assuming we don't go to OT.
