Series 4 of The West Wing starts later this month on E4... Both Tivo and Digiguide have it starting on July 22nd while the Sky Mag has it starting on the 24th.

Although the Sky Mag isn't reknowned for its accuracy it does have it starting on a Thursday which was the night that series 3 episodes were first aired (and earlier series iirc). Of course, E4 may well be moving it to Tuesdays.

Possibly worth double checking.

Someone seems to have messed up the programme description for today's "The Bill" episodes on UK Gold. Here (from Digiguide) is the correct info:

12pm
Protect and Survive.
New staff member DC Webb faces his first night duty alone at Sun Hill, as a dangerous escaped con is spotted in the area. As the relief gradually succumb to injury and the con draws ever closer, the night proves to be a memorable one.

1pm
Take It or Leave It.
When his old girlfriend gets knocked down by a car, skeletons begin to rattle very loudly in Beech's cupboard.

2pm
Over the Edge.
An officer is accused of disobeying an order during a riot situation. Brownlow and Mannion are on the disciplinary board which must find the truth.

3pm
Loyalty.
Webb and Holmes are mystified by Lennox's behaviour during an enquiry, not knowing that he is carrying out his own unofficial investigation.

4pm
Wheels.
Hagen is chosen to drive the new crime car, and Stamp isn't happy about it.

5pm
Warm Bodies (Part 1).
Boulton and Stanton join forces when their two separate assaults seem to be connected, but does Stanton have an ulterior motive?

6pm
Warm Bodies (Part 2).
Boulton and Stanton press on with their investigations. But who is the other man in Stanton's life?

Just noticed that "Quantum Leap" had the right ep title but wrong description. I assume this is the data supplier's fault and not Tribune.

Service Provider: Sky
Channel Name: BBC Parliament
Programme Name: All Select Committees
Date & time: Every Day
Problem:

I don't know where the data is coming from for this channel but its really bad quality, often it shows select committees as one 6 hour program, with nothing at all about which are being shown. This would be same as putting BBC1 , 6-12pm Drama!!!

The sky guide correctly shows this "block" as separate programs for each committee.

Having an interest in one committee, it makes the Tivo useless for finding when its being shown, and recording it.

Why are some people reporting errors in the past tense; ie "Listed as `Round 5 of the British GT series`, was actually `Legends`, a support race to the BTCC". Surely this is of no use to Tribune?

Toothy

And your point is what exactly? :confused:

The amount of errors I am experiencing, whether it is the fault of Tribune or not, is unacceptable.

In fact, I`m seriously considering cancelling my monthly sub, as the service is not really worth £10.

Why are some people reporting errors in the past tense; ie "Listed as `Round 5 of the British GT series`, was actually `Legends`, a support race to the BTCC". Surely this is of no use to Tribune?

It wasn`t in the past tense....I reported the error while the programme was still being transmitted.

We appreciate whenever someone takes the time to post here. While there isn't much we can do about errors that occur in the past, we still catalogue them for future reference.

In this case, the error was made by the channel, not us. In the latest schedules we received, the programme was listed a British GT, not Legends. Same with the Round Five vs. Round Six issue. Perhaps you should drop them a line. The poblem with "Wildlife on One" occurred when our schedule provider missed an update from the BBC. We have been in contact with them to prevent this from happening again.

I'm sorry that you are experiencing problems but most of them are beyond our control. When a broadcaster's schedule or programme discription is inaccurate it is sometimes difficult to spot because we cannot monitor every channel 24/7. Please keep bringing these issues to our attention. It is appreciated.

Sorry if this is the wrong place or the wrong way to report it but:

BBCRadio 7 on Sky Digital is incorrectly listed as channel 922 by my Tivo. This is the old channel number. BBCR7 is now on channel 881.

Maybe this is already in the pipeline for tomorrow's update.

That was my point :)

What I was trying to say is, the point of this thread is to inform Tribune of errors so that they can change the data in time.

It wasn't a completely serious post because I know you're posting so they can change future occurences. Sorry, must be the brain-melting temperatures. I'll use more smiley's next time :D :D

Apologies if this should be in another thread or if it's been mentioned before, but would it be possible to change the default placeholders for channels with no current guide data?

For example, Friendly TV (and numerous others) list placeholder shows of 4 hours in duration. On the occasions when I'm surfing (I know, I should be doing that, but sometimes I do) and I want to record a show, the easiest way is to hit the record button. Of course, even if the show you're watching is only 30 minutes, TiVo wants to record the entire 4 hour block, cancelling overlapping recordings in the process. Since very few (if any) shows are actually 4 hours long, wouldn't it cause less conflicts if the placeholders were 1 or 2 hours in duration?

I know I can create manual recordings, but it's not nearly as convenient.

This is the fifties version not the remake.

According to my TiVo no such version of the Blob is going to be shown.

It has been said in the past it is impossible to set the 28 day rule for all programmes. Mainly the most popular channels / programmes have it set but all others you will have to put up with duplicates in the Now Playing.

I can name three which annoy me to death "Cybernet - ITV1", "Talking Movies - BBCNEWS24" and "Click Online - BBCNEWS24" these have been reported numourous times. "Jim from Tribune" posted saying these will never be fixed due to reasons above and bad guide data from the broadcasters.

At least it it set so you get duplicates its better than it missing an episode.

1. Mis-categorised. It is NOT a "gameshow" but a show about games; console games, PC games, etc.

DigiGuide has the correct, if generic, description:
"Games magazine, featuring news, reviews, gossip and debate."

2. This programme is repeated on the following week-day at 9am. However, when setting a SP for this programme, Tivo says it will record the afternoon showing as there are no clashes, but will not record the repeat due to a clash. "VIP" on Bravo as it happens ;)

It's a while since I've set an SP for a daily-repeated show so can't remember if this is normal. One would expect it to not mention the repeats if it can get the first showing :)

My Season Pass for "ER" on Ch 4 failed to pick up this week's episode (Wednesday) for no reason I can detect. There's nothing in History to show why and there was no other show being recorded at the time. To Do List told me next week's "will not be recorded" either. Trying to add a new season pass tells me I already have one. So I selected "record this episode" for next week's showing and it accepted without comment. Weird or what?

Aha! Having nothing in the Recording History points to you having a "First Run Only" SP. You shouldn't have! The episode's First Run airdate will be that of its UK premiere on E4.

See the FAQ thread - first run is only needed when there are two different series of a programme on the same channel at the same time (eg the Simpsons on Sky One - First Run gets the Sunday new episodes and ignores the daily old episodes, and it doesn't fill the history with details of these).

Take FRO off all your SPs except the ones that really need them and it should be fine. Of my 153 SPs I have that option set on only 12.

OK mrtickle, thanks for that. I think I may have confused myself (too easy, these days :) ) as at one time I was having to remove about 4 old re-runs from the To Do List to get just one new episode a week. I thought at the time that selecting FRO seemed to cure the problem but maybe that coincided with the finish of the old repeats anyway. I've amended the SP as you suggest and will await the result with interest.

Right,

Here we go, an argh moment, it's down to the nebulous "Auto Racing" again:

The "American Le Mans Series" on Eurosport keeps being listed as "Auto Racing" with "American Le Mans Series" as the episode title.

My TiVo recorded the ALMS from Sonoma fine on Saturday night/Sunday morning on EUROGB, it then recorded the race from Trois-Riveres on Sunday night on the same channel.

Where it went annoyingly wrong was it recorded the race from Trois-Riveres again on Monday night as it was flagged as a different episode!

This meant my recording of the NASCAR Highlights on NASN didn't happpen, so I only saw half the show and NASN managed to screw up the second half that I did see themselves.

Can there be some checking of the "Auto Racing" shows on Eurosport to try and de-duplicate some of these episodes?

Eurosport International were showing Sumo at the time so I don't see the need why British Eurosport had to break away from that schedule and cause TiVo related chaos. :(

Not worthy of a thread on its own, so here is more suitable. :)

Is it possible for Tribune to pester the BBC for more accurate listings WRT to radio programmes?

My main beef is with 5 Live Formula 1, which is broadcast Fridays at 21:30.

Unfortunately it doesn`t have a separate listing, (despite having different presenters from the main show), it comes under Sport On Five, which is broadcast from 19:00 - 22:00.

But recording a 3 hour broadcast, just to catch a 30 minute broadcast is wasteful and excludes a lot of other programmes I do want to record.

Listings for Sky Digital channel 250 (E!) are always incorrect.

I have about 10-15 recordings on my TiVo from that channel and every single program listed in TiVo is different to the program that was recorded.

For example, in my TiVo Now Playing listing I see "E! News Live" but when I watch it, I see the channel change (correct) and the Sky Digital banner shows something like "E! True Hollywood Story".

Just checked what's on now. My Sky Digital EPG shows current program as "Revealed with Jules Asnwer" and the next program as "Coming Attractions" and that matches what is actually on, and what the announcer just mentioned as the next show.

The TiVo EPG shows the current program as "Celebrity Profile" and the next program as "Mysteries and Scandals". Couldn't be more wrong really. I looked forward a few hours and there's no show that matches in both EPG's.

Gavin - to avoid this you may wish to use Title Wish Lists instead of Season Passes?

e.g. create a title wish list for "No Going Back" (WITH the quotes). I converted all but a couple of my SPs to title wish lists a couple months after getting my TiVo as this generally stops many guide errors like the one you describe.

You have to be careful with : , characters etc (e.g. if a : is in the title you exclude it but others you need to replace with a space etc).

Obviously programmes with really common names generally will not work as a generic title wish list (e.g. Friends, ER, 24 etc) as it picks up too many other programmes from the same or other channels. May not be problem if you have not got digital.

Also remember Wish Lists are not channel specific so if you have a programme on many channels it may not be suitable.

I just review the to do list a couple of times a week to sort our this and other inconsistencies - 5 minutes a week most.

See my earlier post in this thread.

The first episode of this was listed by Tribune as No Going Back: A Year in Tuscany so I suggested they change back to that for the rest of the series. Initially they had eps 2 and 3 as "No Going Back" with episode title "A Year in Tuscany" so you'd have missed it under that title too due to the 28-day rule.

Thanks I know I can do that but why should I have to? It's a series what season pass's are for. It's the same series it's just someone be it Tribune or Channel 4 are getting the data wrong.

By chance we've been in to watch the previous ones, and I must have set it after the 1st to get the 2nd title.

This method is by no means perfect but I find it better for me as I only have Freeview. I now have 140SP's 95% are Title Wish Lists. I also try to make my Title Wish list as short as possible but it will still only match the programme I want (and avoid special character problems). e.g. "They Think" for "They Think It's All Over", "Have I Got" for "Have I Got News For You" (this also catches Have I Got Old News For You" etc.

I recommend checking your future To Do List - History weekly. With all my SP's I usually only have 3 or 4 clashes a day and it's easy to spot programmes you want to record that aren't currently. It would be nice if you could press the Record button on the remote to quickly set a recording from this listing however instead of having to go throught several screens and confirmations.

I agree it would be great if SP's were perfect but this will never happen. Usually the problems are outside Tribunes control they have received bad data and there is human error also.

The only way this could be improved I think is allow TiVo users to update the TV schedule via a web site. Tribune could then accept/reject corrections? A better turnaround on fixes and better reporting method would also be nice.

Anyway getting a bit off topic here :D

You may know this already but you can save one lot of confirmations by pressing "Select" on the "Record this episode also" lozenge - you don't have to go through the "Options" screen. This creates a recording at your default quality setting.

I concur that the `event` tag is not 100% accurate, and IMO really shouldn`t be relied upon.

Attn: Jim

I think Channel 4 may well be listing the two update programmes of 'Jamie's Kitchen' as 'Jamie's Kitchen Revisited'; as they're the same show, just filmed a year on, can you stick the 'Revisted' part in the episode description so all our season passes work? First show on 16th September...

Thanks!

PS Please be aware that there is only one new episode of Fame Academy on BBC Three a day - I get three copies sometimes!
PPS Hope to god this problem doesn't affect Pop Idol Extra on ITV2 - 3 hours of programming a day, repeated 3 times a day. Turn my back and my Tivo will be jam packed!

The full title has been confirmed as "Return to Jamie's Kitchen." One of our editors have created a new title which wouldn't be picked up with the old season pass. Does everyone object to this? Since we have a week or so to work with please let me know what your thoughts are.

though my original SP has long gone, replaced by a keyword WL that should find this incarnation my vote, fwiw, goes to whatever's necessary to allow an original SP to work.

us internet savvy wasters have plenty methods of finding out about this sort of thing (this thread for example) - what if somebody misses this in their listings/programme trailers, they're gonna be mighty pissed off that the programme makers changed the programme title and the first they hear of it is at work the next day.

should they be aware of it though but can't find it under its proper title they're bound to find it via one of the other tivo search methods.

Indeed, I have SPs for
Have I Got News For You
Have I Got Old News For You (repeats, so doesn't matter so much if people don't spot it)

Location, location, location
Location, location, location: Revisited (repeats - but re-edited with extra 5 mins at end. Nasty trick by C4)

Scrapheap Challenge
Scrapheap Mega Challenge (another nasty one - C4 do this for the last programme in every series)

Grand Designs
Grand Designs Revisited
Grand Designs Indoors

Finally of course fans of "Robot Wars" needn't ever bother with a Season Pass. It's a new title from the BBC every year.

Changing the title so that tivo user's old Season Passes worked would be a new thing, but the fact that you are prepared to do it is proof of the great job you're doing! :)

What about the possibility of using the new title, but putting it under the same Series ID? I know you have "renamed" a few series before. This way new users would be able to set the same series title as they see everywhere else and it would be less confusing. And users with existing SPs would find that they get the new series.

Tonight's BBC One schedule has changed. The BBC have dropped Trevor's World of Sport from its Friday night slot - to return in a later slot on Monday week. This has led them to move Eyes Down to 9:30, and put on an old Only Fools at 9pm.

Well, Tribune do get paid an awful lot of cash to do this, and broadcasters aren't thinking about PVR users when naming their programmes.
Last night's film on BBC1 had the correct description but then said "Continues After The News" which scared the bejeesus out of me this morning as I thought I only had the first part of the film; however, Tribune were taping both parts, but just used the first part's description. Could have done without that panic!

Return to Jamie's Kitchen is just the (very brief) second season of 'Jamie's Kitchen'; The rule Tribune should use is "Would someone who has a SP for the old show want the new one taped?". My Jamie's Kitchen SP picked up all the shows in the last few weeks, and I'd expect it to pick up the new episodes. If Tribune use the right name and the old SeriesID, so much the better.
This would also cover Location, Location, Location [Revisited] - this was the worst of all worlds, as Tribune sometimes put it in as L,L,L and sometimes with the full title (and a new series ID).

I think that all of Mr Tickle's examples (and not forgetting Five's 'Curse Of...' series) should be listed with the same SeriesID for each show; the bigger debate is to what air date should be listed for the 'revisited' shows and 'Have I Got Old News For You'.

I think the revisted episodes should have new OAD's, as they have some new content, whilst the Old News keep the old OAD's. Any disagreements?

Found another one where a change in programme title meant it got allocated a new series id: Friday's Gardeners World was set up as "Gardeners World: Flower Hour" so my SP missed it. :( Next week's, which is also an "extended Summer Special", is picked up by the original SP though.

I also gave up with SPs for the "I Love 19xx" series and created an auto-recording wishlist as it seemed to need a separate SP for every showing. Maybe the series could be set up with title "I Love" and the year moved to the Episode title?

Overall though the guide data is a lot better than it used to be. Thanks Jim! :)

True, but there's still lots of annoying screw ups - like multiple Fame Academy's on BBC3!

I think (as they have the same OAD) that Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
'The Millionaires Return' is wrong - Tribune are saying that Tuesday's episode on ITV1 is a repeat, but it's a different episode to Saturday's.

Annoying return of a problem fixed a while back.
Frasier on Paramount shows one episode twice on most days (6pm and 10pm). The second showing now has a generic write up that is not episode specific whilst the first has episodic information and title. Result is that although they are the same programme, SP thinks they are different. Would be solved by repeating the 6pm write up at 10pm.

I'm usually fairly forgiving of guide data problems as most of the time I find it's pretty good for what I want but this is just stupid. I could understand if it had been like this from the beginning of series 2 but why has the title changed halfway through. I wonder how many people who don't read this forum are going to notice this?

The easy way around this is to change the recording options for the SP to "First Run & Repeats". A "FRO" SP is not needed in this case.

Tivo's listings were shocking this weekend. BBC Four's World Cinema Film on Saturday was down as a docudrama, which is pushing it a fair bit! Fame Academy was put into a new series this week called Fame Academy II this weekend; I see Tribune were alerted to this last Tuesday, but no fix was made. Tivo fortunately taped it as a suggestion - a bloody lucky escape.

However, I see the Fame Academy listings are screwed again this weekend. Please can you put these shows back into the Fame Academy Season Pass?

Also, I was just perusing my To Do list and noticed a rather large omission:
Jamie's Kitchen is not going to tape this week! What was the point of our discussion? I took the time to let you know well in advance what Channel 4 were doing (renaming a series) as being in America, you probably wouldn't notice. Everyone here took the time to help out with suggestions - and we all sat back content in the knowledge that we'd have new Jamie to watch this week. Please can you fix this asap for tonight's downloads?

Jamie's Kitchen and Fame Academy are two flahship programmes for their respective channels - Please can you fix these mistakes asap!

"Fame Academy II" has been given the heave ho! The offending title has been corrected.

As for "Return to Jamie's Kitchen" (and yes, this is the title) all information we have received is that this is a new programme (albeit with footage from the previous series) so it was listed as such. I know that I did ask for your opinions but since the title was different, a new ID# had to be issued.

Grrr, yes we know that's the title but it's the new series of Jamie's Kitchen. That's why we gave you a heads-up. I'd have been well peeved if my JK SP didn't pick it up, and even more peeved if it hadn't picked it up after we'd all told you about it!

The reason I have a JK season pass is because I wanted Tivo to catch all episodes for me. Every single person who has a season pass for Jamie's Kitchen will want to watch these two episodes. Giving the new season the old SeriesID would have been ideal, but I guess it's not going to happen :(
Think there'll be quite a few annoyed Tivo viewers this week....

Jim, in America will a Season Pass for 'Survivor: The Amazon' also pick up 'Survivor: Pearl Islands' on CBS?

Jim99
09-15-2003, 11:23 AM
Sorry to annoy the masses but Channel Four changed the title.

By the way, each new series of Survivor gets a new show ID#.

Survivor: The Amazon = 462204
Survivor Pearl Islands = 598031

Just another case of broadcasters tailoring titles to attract new viewers (and I do understand that upsets TiVo users - I am one!)

LJ
09-15-2003, 01:36 PM
Jim, why does a new ID have to be issued if the title of episodes in a series changes? Is that a limitation of the TiVo software/database?

The best example I can come up wth off the top of my head is the pop music series whose title includes the year:

"I Love 1978", "I Love 1979" etc.

Surely you're not going to argue that each episode is a different 'series'. (Though that's the way it seems to be set up at the moment - hence why I ended up setting up an auto-recording wishlist for "I Love 19*".)

You could argue that this is not a new *series* its a special two part episode following on from the last series so it should have the same ID - a new series would be he does it again with a new batch of "students".

Does not bother me that much as I use Title Wish Lists to avoid this type of problem. Same for Location Location Location etc. Out of 140SPs about 2 or 3 are SP's (e.g. ER, Friends get too many hits as a Wish List) the rest are Title Wish lists e.g. "Jamies Kitchen" etc.

Forgot to mention that Return To Jamies Kitchen is repeated on Thursday I think.

The title can't be changed because the "old" series could possibly be re-aired and the "new" title would not be accurate.

You should then add the secondary title to the episode title, so it should look like:

Title:Fame Academy
Episode Title: Fame Academy II: + {original episode title}


I suppose you could create a new 'secondarytitle' field.

So I think perhaps the reason all of the Anime movies are in your database as "Animation" was because that was all that was available in the past, so you chose the closest genre at the time. Hopefully now there is an Anime fan at Tribune that will be able to go through the Anime movies in your database and fix them all? (This will benefit all customers worldwide, I believe you use the same database for movies?)]

If this is the case, I'm mightily annoyed. Anyone else have issues?

Jim,
They are there, I'm talking about the main Fame Academy show on BBC1 on Saturday 20th September. These two shows are the big events and the last two weeks were entered as Fame Academy II. We nearly missed the 13th September show, but Tivo picked it up as a suggestion. The error was reported, and on Monday 15th you said the offending title had been corrected, and FAII had been given the heave-ho. If this is the case, why do I have nothing in Now Playing and my Recording History?

Channel: BBC4
Platform: Sky ( but probably all BBC4 )
Date: Mon 29th and Tue 30th Sept

TiVo has "Holidays in the Danger Zone" scheduled for these dates.

The times of airing are correct but the programme has been renamed "Meet the Stans" in both paper guides and DigiGuide.

It is the followup programme to the series "Holidays in the Axis of Evil"

TiVo also thinks all four showings are the same episode when, in fact, the two on Monday are the same episode ( about Kazakstan and Kyrgistan ) and the two on Tuesday are the same as each other but different to the Monday episodes ( Tuesdays are about Uzbekistan and Tajikistan )

Proper schedule:

Mon 29th

21:00-22:20 - Kazakstan and Kyrgistan
23:35-00:55 - repeat of Mon 21:00 episode

Tue 30th

21:00-22:20 - Uzbekistan and Tajikistan
23:35-00:55 - repeat of Tue 21:00 episode

Time: 18:00 - 21:00 + 21:00 - 00:30

Few oddities I have noticed, regarding NFL Football, for some reason the program is split into episodes as timing above although on skys epg and I believe digiguide (although I don't have it on this pc) it is only one long showing from 18:00 - 00:30 this has been so since I remember.

Also the description for this week and iirc last week are incorrect:

18:00 - 21:00 Shown as Pats @ Redskins, when it's actually Titans @ Stealers

21:00 - 00:30 Shown as Chargers @ Raiders, when it's Cowboys @ Jets


I also on Sky Sports 3 Mon 29/9 @ 12:00 - 16:00 and 19:00 - 23:00 there is no description showing the teams playing be it correct or incorrect.

I think that it is mainly down to the fact that Sky have not indicated which episodes are to be broadcast as there is only a generic programme synopsis in place. You will notice that there is the programme title and not an episode title showing after the first week.

As soonn as Tribune are told which episodes are to be broadcast, and insert the correct episode titles, all will be well.

To sum up, blame Sky not Tribune :)

That said, it looks like they're simply showing all of Season 1 again.

Surely the BBC Press Office can tell you when new episodes are airing, and which are old ones? I missed the Baseball Play-offs on Monday as Tivo decided to look at BBC3 instead.

So BBC1/ITV today (26th October) will go up to 7th November. But on 31st October then will still only be up to 7th November.

Then next Saturday/Sunday you'll get another week's worth.

A bit late to fix now ;) but maybe next weekend's can be double checked...

Sky, 103 ITV1LON
01:40 Sun 26th
CD:UK Hotshots was scheduled as only five minutes long. Normally it's half an hour or so.

Sky, 101 BBC1
01:05 Sun 26th
Top Of The Pops was billed, but it was a showing of They Think It's All Over instead.

Program Name: Simpsons
Time/Date Of Airing: Sun 26th 6:30 PM

Not sure if it's my fault or Tivo's...

To late to do anything, but this was a new Simpsons episode, but was not set to record via Season Pass, Checking the recording history it said it was removed from the episode guide. There are a few other items in the recording history with the same error.

I recently had to remove my cable channels in order to get tivo to see the cable box via the Aux, and then re add them, will this have resulted in the above error (I guess so). this was a couple or weekends ago so it's probavly working through the system still.

Recorded OK on mine, so I guess so, but it should have been rescheduled when you put the channels back. Maybe you didn't re-enable Sky One?

Sky one is enabled, it's happily taping other cable channels inc sky one. Must be the removed and replaced problem

Programme Name: Pop Idol Results
Time/Date of Airing: Sat 25/10

Selected to record Pop Idol Result on Saturday on ITV, i.e. not a season pass, it recorded ok. TiVo then recorded the repeat on ITV2 on Sunday even thought the first was still in now playing and it hadn't been set to record the ITV2 show.

This has happened two weeks in a row.

Not a suggestion, an actual recording - it went to the top of now playing when it was recorded.

I'm confused then - you say you don't have a SP for it, you didn't set it as a recording, but it still recorded??? Is there a wishlist which might have caught it?

I don't think so. Imagine, a wishlist for Simon Cowell!

the most amusing mis-categorisation yet... the The Jim Rose Twisted Tour (on Bravo) is most definitely NOT a travel show.

Just seen the above on Channel 5 (20:00-21:00) recorded to Tivo.

Funny though the guide data says the program is narrated by Christopher Reeve, but for some strange reason he sounds exactly like Fifth Gear Presenter Tiff Needel.

Must be one of those occasions where a UK/US collaborative documentary uses the same footage but with different sound to be sold in each country, and someone forgot which version we have.

I haven't checked in detail, but these seem to have the wrong guide data. The series being shown is the FIRST one, but the guide data seems to be for the LATEST one.

Sniper School has been marked in the EPG as a Special. As far as I know it's actually a mini-series showing 5 weeks of training. Because of the 'Special' catagory a Season Pass cannot be set.

With only two days until the next episode, the SP for Single on ITV1 is still broken. :(

Any ideas why??:confused:

I suspect it has been created as a different programme with the same title - I would suggest leaving you current SP in place and create a new one from the 'Search by Title'

- Postcode WD23 2HL
- Service Provider (aerial, Sky Digital, etc.) NTL analogue
- Channel Name Paramount (UKPANI)
- Channel Number 25
- Programme Name King Of Queens
- Time/Date of airing ~12:20AM weekday mornings
- Problem encountered Caroline in the City instead

There seem to be lots of Paramount schedule errors in the guide data.

Wanted to catch KoQ, which shows at 12:20 AMish each night according to TiVo. I always get Caroline in the City instead :-(

This is the shared Paramount/Nick service on NTL analogue (in Bushey/Watford in Herts) so I can't get the daytime showing.

Wasn't sure tivo actually does/can alter already downloaded guide data but then I noted it can sometimes happen as it shifted an existing scheduled future Charmed recording on Ch Five from 7:20 to 7:15 for Sat 8/11 recently.

This can't be a repeat, as it's on 1 week later, on Monday 10th.
They both have the same Episode Title, ("Eighties Special"), so is the showing on the 10th, a part 2 of "Eighties Special" or the next program in the series?

[embarassed]

there's a celebrity wife swap episode on the 11th involving Jade Goody and the Ingram plonker.

a wishlist for jaDe goody will not find this due to her name being a touch wrong... it's in the listings as jaNe goody.

i used to be in charge of a bunch of data prep girls that hailed from that neck of the woods, then i made them all redundant... perhaps i have a soft spot.

i only created the wishlist when i spotted a trailer for this particular episode and when it wasn't getting any hits i checked more closely and found the mis type in the data. now that the episode is scheduled the wishlist has been deleted.

HONEST GUV(s)

stuart - now thinking it's about time to change handles ;)

The TiVo guide data shows Time Gentlemen Please showing at 22:35 Mon-Thurs on Paramount (Sky 127).

According to the Sky EPG, and the Paramount website, it starts at 22:00.

This was confirmed when I actually tuned in at 22:00.

edit: It's not only this show that's wrong. The shows before and after are also wrong. The whole late evening Paramount listings needs to be reviewed.

EDIT2: As of today's daily call it's all fixed :)

I've just come back from a two week holiday to fine several hundred recordings of little Britain.

I may be exagerating a little, but my trusty Tivo (which had NO problems when I was away) got me every episode three or four times. It was doing this before I went away, but it's now much more obvious ( I just deleted the extra recordings before )

Good as Little Britain this is a bit of pain especially considering the number of repeats that are being shown. I think though this has been discussed before and it was found that the BBC just weren't supplying enough info for Tribune to do anything.
