As Mythbusters is ........

I quite liked this error myself (my SP was set for Mythbusters), as I had never seen Great Biker Build Off, but have found it quite good (recommended if you like American Chopper and the like). I have just set my TiVo to record "American Casino" (the programme following Great Biker Build Off which is actually Mythbusters) so that it gets Mythbusters too....

Note that "American Casino" is not listed in the Sky EPG either......

P.S. I loved the "you can't sell a smelly car" myth.......

Channel 427 (Sky Digital): The Wrestling Channel

Many, if not most, shows listed on Tivo are completely wrong (wrong programme completely, not wrong episode info). The channel airs to a fixed schedule, with a revamp on average once every six weeks. The last two or three revamps appear not to have been communicated to Tribune.

Current schedule is listed at http://www.thewrestlingchannel.tv/schedule.html

Programme: Little Britain

Ok is Little Britain up the chuff?

I have just set a season pass for 'Little Britain' rather than "New LB" and it has listed the following available - ALL with the same description including those on Radio7!

BBC3 Tue 26th Oct 21:00
BBC3 Fri 29th Oct 23:00
BBC3 Sat 30th Oct 22:40
BBC3 Mon 1st Nov 00:00

BBC3 Tue 2nd Nov 22:00
BBC3 Sat 6th Nov 00:00
BBCR7 Wed 10th Nov 00:30
BBCR7 Wed 10th Nov 06:00

All with the description:-
The third programme of the second series staring and written by Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Also featuring Anthony Head and Jamie Theakston. Narrated by Tom Baker.

...and setting the season pass records all those above (with the exception of BBCR7) that don't clash with other progs!
Looks like they all have different series numbers! Also this week is the 2nd not 3rd prog in the series.

Why oh why oh why can't they get Little Britain right!

Please can we get this corrected!

Channel Name: ITVULS
Programme: The Championship
Time: Sunday 31st Oct 10:30am

The Championship is not being picked up by my season pass. It seems to be marked as a 'special' and will not be recorded - I have to do a 'record this showing also'. I had to manually record last week also, but haven't investigated why til now. The description is for last week's matches also - maybe this is why it won't record, coz it thinks I've already got it?

Note: ITV Ulster - other regions may vary.

[cwaring]

According to both DigiGuide and Channel 4's own web site, it is "The Sopranos" that is on at 0135 (about an hour from now) and not "The West Wing" as my Tivo says. (and it's just completed a forced daily call so it's as up-to-date as it gets!)

Next scheduled repeat is Fri @ 0050.

Edit: OF course, I meant Friday, but you'd know that anyway if you have any interest in the show :)

Tonight's broadcast is still not listed by Tribune. :(

A Tivo SP for a weekly programme, only recording one broadcast in six weeks is really piss-poor. :rolleyes: :(

Oh well....that's it until March 2005....hopefully Tribune will get their act together by then.....although I very much doubt it. :( :(

[salva]

Hi, since a couple of months ago I am seeing lots of errors on the Documentary channels schedule. One program is announced, and another is aired.

Today, Sky 552 DISC1 Announced The truth behind the moon landings. Aired American Hot Rod. SKy

And I've seen that lots of times lately.

Seems that today's discovery listings on sky are bad.

Anyone had noticed that ?
Is Tribune lowering the quality of the data so that we abandon tivo ?

Could it be that I am having a database error or something ?

Why do people always automatically assume it's a Tivo/Tribune problem? Maybe, in this case, Discovery changed their schedules after they were distributed.

I do it myself, sometimes :) This is, apparently, what happened with last weekends "Casualty" on BBC1; according to POV, anyway. (See my post earlier in this thread!)

Could it be that I am having a database error or something ?
Highly unlikely in this case.

First Tribune got the programme name wrong and now they can't even get the correct broadcast time. Why can't they get this right???? :confused:

This is general error accross all platforms.

[aerialplug]

The synopsis needs to be changed on Radio 4's Home Truths as sadly John Peel is no longer with us.

This was one of my favourite radio programmes and Peeley will be sadly missed. Seeing the synopsis still say he's hosting the show strangely makes me feel sad.

I realise that this was probably a generic synopsis that was in use even on the weeks that Peel wasn't hosting the show, but I feel it should be changed as a mark of respect.

[Toothy]

Agreed.

:(

[sgni]

ITV2 at 8am tivo program guide is saying Pokemon is on however it is infact Totally Spies.

[JonnyJackov]

Thank you tribune, I've just missed an episode of Battlestar Galactica because my tivo thinks it's malcom in the Middle - WHY?

This is getting more and more annoying.

Jon

[cwaring]

Don't "thank" Tribune. I presume Sky swapped it at the very last minute and Tribune were unable to update our Tivos in time.

In other words, blame Sky schedulers, not Tribune!

[JonnyJackov]

I 'thanked' tribune because I believe they are at fault.

Digiguide managed to get it right.

And my heat magazine which I bought 10 days ago also managed to get it right, so it's hardly a last minute schedule change.

Jon

[mike0151]

My TV Choice mag got it right too. I noticed that something was wrong when TiVo1 said it was going to record Malcolm that wasn't reported on any other listing as being on.

Tribune's listings are definitely getting worse. They bu**ered up last Sunday's Eastenders omnibus which I was recording for someone else *cough*

[cwaring]

Fair enough. I don't buy a listings mag so didn't know it wasn't a last-minute change. Also, DG is, of course, always quicker to update than Tivo anyway :)

I'm not sure if there was the scent of an apology here or just a weak attempt at self justification?

Whatever, it was certainly misguided* to lambast someone's post based on a falsely held and fairly aggressive presumption.

* my entry for weakest pun of the year award

[Automan]

The first recording my revamped tivo makes and yes the tribune data is in error.
Was to record Battlestar Galactica at 20:00hrs tonight on Sky One but it seems to be more like the Simpsons...

And now of course it will think this epsiode has been recorded so even if on again this weekend tivo will not record it :(

Automan.

Bad puns aside ;) I can tell by the number of posts you have made that you're not in here that often, or is that another "falsely held" presumption. I suppose you could read the Forum every day but only post occasionally :)

Anyway, my point is this type of thing has happened before and it is *usually* the case that these are indeed last-minute changes made by Sky. How was I know (without a TV guide to tell me!) that this was any different?

Still not fixed.

Last night's recording of 'The New Statesman' caught the last 10 mins of Minder and the first 20 mins of Fraiser. So Tribune really excelled themselves this time.....not only did they get the programme wrong....but they got the start time wrong too. :rolleyes:

I don't know where Tribune are getting their data from....as DigiGuide and the listings on the Paramount channel website, don't show The New Statesman in the current programme line-up. :confused:

According to Tribune, the next airing of The New Statesman is on Mon 8/11 @ 9:30pm...but according to DigiGuide and the Paramount website....The Frank Skinner Show is being broadcast.

Would the Tribune fanboys care to blame the schedulers on 'last minute changes' for this error??

Do you think I really care what you think?

I made a slight error. BIG DEAL!! Please stop going on about it :rolleyes:

[steveroe]

Chill dudes!

Battlestar Galatica is repeated tonight at 7 pm on Sky Mix for those (including me) who had duff data last night. As Automan indicated you will need to set a manual recording for this as your TiVo thinks it recored it last night.

Strange that this was the case as Sky One is usually very accurate (to my eyes anyway).

For what it's worth my printed Radio Times had the Simpsons scheduled correctly for the time slot. I think an update went missing somewhere in the chain from Sky to Tribune.

As of today, RTE 2 has no data, just generic 2 hours slots. Not usually that interested in this channel so I only spotted it today, when I went to see if they had a live Premiership game on (they seem to be showing a live game on a Saturday this season).

Did an update when I saw it (7:30pm last night, Saturday) but no change.

P.S. cwaring is always spouting crap on this thread - he's some kind of self-appointed Tribune defender...

Anyway, my point is this type of thing has happened before and it is *usually* the case that these are indeed last-minute changes made by Sky. How was I know (without a TV guide to tell me!) that this was any different?

So do what the rest of us do Carl - don't post if you don't know the facts for sure.

But hey, you've made more posts than me on here, so you must know best... Maybe some of us only post when we've got something useful to contribute.

Useful? Out of your last 25 posts, more than half (16, in fact) were simply moaning about guide data errors. Yeah, that's useful :rolleyes:

END OF SUBJECT.
I will not reply to any more posts that are personal attacks. I will simply report them to the moderators.

I find that these posts are the most useful posts. As Tribune data worsens with their dwindling interest, they show no signs of correcting their ****-ups in any reasonable time.
If a mistake or change occurs in the US, Tivo sends their users a message. In the UK, we're dependent on people making the effort and posting it here on this forum, for the good of all.

[warrenrb]

LOL!!! You 'audited' my posts! Nice to see you doing some research for once. Have you got a pie chart or something I could look at?

Isn't this whole thread for 'moaning' about guide data errors? Without checking over my previous posts, I think I'm generally pointing out exactly what everyone else does in this thread - the very point of it's existence.

Is my RTE 2 information not useful? I guess coz you don't get that channel you see it as not.

My post about 'The Championship' season pass? Perhaps you don't like football - so I should have just shut up.

In future, if I see any faults with soap operas or teen sci-fi I'll be sure to PM you directly.

Sorry for posting on your thread - I'll see it doesn't happen again, Mr Waring (or do you prefer Mr Richards?)

Now DO go run and tell teacher, you jerk.

[csansbury]

Suggestion to all:

The best way to avoid getting personal attacks is to stop wasting time attacking everybody who either has a different opinion from you or who makes a small mistake.

This thread is for guide data errors. I'd say complaints about guide data are OK, unless THE MODS want to restrict those complaints to another thread.

Please continue to report any cases on mistakes in this thread - along with details of what it should have been (or was) - as it all helps to try and track down why something has been missed.

There were quite a few mistakes during the past week - especially on BBC4 and Sky One - I don't know why they were there - and why they were not fixed!

(Repeat)

Also Radio Five Live (Channel 855), has huge chunks of To Be Announced from now until the end of the week. There are two chunks of TBA lasting six hours each.......so to have half of a station's daily programming not available is very poor indeed. :(

Yeah, I noticed that too. From 6am on Sat 13th Nov, everything is 'Channel 4 Television / Unknown' (Freeview, RG6)

(Last Successful Call: Monday 8th Nov at 04:52 / Prog. Guide Data to: Saturday 27th Nov 2004)

[cwaring]

My BBC listings (from next Saturday) only got updated today, not over the weekend as usual. Hmmm.... do I sense a problem somewhere? Surely not ;) :)

[Mike B]

I've got BBC listings up until 20th Nov 6am (Freeview, RG6) - thats about right isn't it?

[aerialplug]

My Channel 4 listings also end on Saturday morning too. Sky Digital, ME6.

Anoonying as I want to set up a season pass for Crazy Rulers of the World as I missed the first one. I guess A wishlist will do...

[kitschcamp]

A wishlist won't help much without the listings, though... ;)

[aerialplug]

I'm assuming the problem will probably be fixed before the listings dry up - especially since it seems to effect so many people.

I have a FROSP for "Miss Match" and it has scheduled an episode that is supposedly on tomorrow; details as above.

However! It is actually a S1 episode of "Missing" that is in that slot. The odd thing is that the episode title and synopsis are both correct:

"A death-row inmate makes a final plea, and Brooke and Jess risk all to try to save the innocent man." (Borrowed from DG and confirmed by LivingTV's own web site schedule)

The other, even more, curious thing is that this is the ONLY episode of that first season that I haven't seen :D

[ericd121]

Allow me to be the first person to-day to highlight the continuing lack of Channel 4 listings.

T minus 4 and counting...:rolleyes:

[OzSat]

You should have C4 for next week by now - mine were there this morning.

[AENG]

Though you'd like to know - I phoned CS just now (1230 Tues.) and they claimed not to have heard that C4 runs out of EPG here (SG17 UHF Ch21) at 0600 this Saturday. So what's new?

[aerialplug]

Still not here - but my box last dialed out at 0:29 this morning so I guess something may have changed in the mean time. I'll force a download now to see what happens.

Update: Next week's data is now there.

(I realise an FRO SP would work here, but I don't like using them really - leads to trouble)

[aerialplug]

I'm probably unusual in the fact that I listen to quite a lot of radio through TiVo, so I rely just as much on the schedule for radio as I do for television.

BBC7' schedule on TiVo is an absolute joke at the moment - about 70% of the schedule that TiVo provides is a pack of lies!!!!

Here's today's schedule compared to the one provided on BBC's What's on:

07:00 The Little Toe Radio Show
08:00 That Reminds Me WRONG - The Alan Davies Show
08:30 Bristow WRONG - People Like Us
09:00 To Be Announced WRONG - Acting Strangely
09:30 Westway
09:45 The Sceptred Isle
10:00 Wives and Daughters WRONG - The Forsyte Chronicles
11:00 The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes WRONG - Producer's Choice
11:45 Daughters of Britannia WRONG - Les Miserables
12:00 The Write Stuff WRONG - Quote Unqoute
12:30 Round the Horne
13:00 To Be Announced WRONG - P Division
14:00 Parsley Sidings WRONG - Married
14:30 Men From the Ministry Different title, but probably correct
15:00 The Little Toe Radio Show
16:00 The Big Toe Radio Show
18:00 Earthsearch WRONG - Only You Can Save Mankind
18:30 To Be Announced WRONG - Acting Strangely
19:00 The Write Stuff WRONG - Quote Unquote
19:30 Round the Horne
20:00 To Be Announced WRONG - P Division
21:00 Parsley Sidings WRONG - Married

Pathetic.

It seems that the only programmes that are listed correctly are ones that are listed week in week out and don't change.


As with previous problems with R4 and R7, it looks like Tribune are providing a schedule that's a month or so out of date.

BBC7 has a schedule?
Based on my Tivo listings I assumed that all the BBC7 staff were currently on holiday and that BBC7 was broadcasting 24/7 repeats of that well-known 50s' comedy series "It's that TBA again".

At the moment there is one reliable way of getting all the programmes you want to record. Create a wishlist for "TBA". You'll never miss anything again, especially if it's on BBC, ITV, C4 or C5.

[cwaring]

Oh! Hahaha! Such wit. My sides are splitting. Or not! :rolleyes:

[AENG]

Chaps, could we agree to post only when we have something useful, or even potentially useful, to say, please? Like many others, I subscribe to this thread which has been extremely useful in helping me avoid losing badly-listed programmes. It's pretty tiresome, to say the least, when logging on at receipt of the email, just to find something like Carl's latest.

Thanks.

Alan Gard

[cwaring]

Actually, I agree with you, AENG, and I should have stated as such in my post.

That is the sort of thing I was trying to say; that I found xxxx's posts of no use whatsoever!

Unfortunately, I posted too early, after just getting up :) and forgot that bit :(

"BBC7' schedule on TiVo is an absolute joke at the moment"

I'm pretty sure this on topic... If you miss stuff on BBC7 there is a comprehensive 'Listen Again' page on the BBC web site.

[OzSat]

FINAL WARNING: Both Tribune and TiVo are monitoring this thread in an attempt to improve the listings and locate why/where things are not being updated. Irrelevant comments are likely to put them off and things will get (even) worse.

The UK forums have been very good - whereas thread/post removals and bans are not uncommon in the US forums.

Let's not go that way and keep things in order!

I have a season pass on this program, this meant that Tivo didn’t record on the 1st and 8th Nov when "Cycle of Violence" and "Instinct" really aired, Tivo had the right listing and never scheduled the recordings because it believed it had already recorded them.

Next weeks schedule is wrong starting from Sat 13th Nov 19:00

Schedule is totally different from listing mags, DigiGuide and the Sky EPG

Tribune need to sort this fast as they have less that 3 days before schedule is wrong.

======

Hint to Tribune staff -> BBC Radio 4, BBC7 and BBC Four ( TV channel ) absolutely *do not* have repeating weekly listings. You can not carry forward last week's listing as it it will be totally wrong. Listings are available for viewing 14 days ahead on the Radio Times uk web site.

Another hint -> XMLTV works nicely with the Radio Times website now. Probably not legal to leech Radio Times into Tribune listings to then sell on to TiVo users but how about researching a legal deal with Radio Times - it might be cheaper for you in the long run.

Tomorrow's BBC7 schedules now seem to be spot on when compared with the BBC7 website: including the episode details (where provided). Very nice.

I'd check a few days further ahead but it makes my head ache, even with TivoWeb. :confused:

another example of close but no cigar

[JonnyJackov]

I think this should be in the listings error thread, if not I apologise.

This week TiVo didn't record some programmes it should have, but gave no reason why.

After just looking at my to do list and history, I'm now even more confused.

My TiVo tells me there is just one episode of Brainiac upcoming on Sky One, yet is not recording it because another showing is or was available within 28 days.

I have no Brainiacs in my Now Playing, and the upcoming one that it's not recording because of the 28 day rule is not a repeat. Can anyone explain this.

Also, on Living TV, there are four upcoming episodes of Most Haunted in Oldham. Each episode says it will not record because of the 28 day rule, but once again, this is not a repeat, and therefore this doesn't add up..
I've probably made no sense at all, but if you have season passes for Brainiac or most haunted, then I suggest you check them.

Can anyone explain this, is it the same for us all, or is my TiVo losing it's mind. :confused:

Cheers

Plus an item on the ever increasing release of 'Director's Cut' on DVD, and a review of the work of Oliver Stone.

Inaccurate guide data may seem trivial if you use TiVo as a basic watch n' wipe system....but because of this error, my Actor Wishlist for Alec Guinness failed to record this showing. :mad: :mad: :( :(

As Wishlists are a TiVo USP...what's the point of having this feature, (and therefore TiVo),......if the data supplied to TiVo is inaccurate???

Nice lesson in how to win friends and influence people there, Toothy!

The problem is that all episodes of the show are being flagged as being generic (they have an SH code in the data), and all you are seing is the generic episode description being updated with each week's new data.

I can see how it would be easy to assume that News 24 does not feature normal episodic series - it being a 24 hour rolling news channel & all - and not do the manual scanning which presumably adds the individual episodes to the db.

Out of interst I notice that the oft-cited as perfect Digiguide has generic data for this Saturday's episode too - "Stuart Maconie reviews the latest DVD releases." - which suggests to me that the Friday ep has data in the raw data from the BBC while the others don't. This kind of thing is really hard for Tribune (and Digiguide) to deal with, without personal knowledge of what the broadcasting pattern of a show is.

Multiple recordings are irritating, but ultimately not the end of the world, and a weekly flick through the TDL easily cures (my first posting on the forum was reporting a similar error with The Rugby Club on Sky Sports; it's still not fixed after, er, quite few posts!).

I am much more concerned about errors which result in missed episodes.

PS, if you install my dedupe hack, it will eliminate two of the four copies. :)

1. X-Men 2 - This Saturday, the 8pm showing has a different title to the 9pm showing but, of course, they are the same film.

2. "American Pie 2: The Wedding" is listed as "Amercian Wedding".

I have another 48 films to find. How many more will have errors? :(

Check your SP for this show. This weeks new episode is incorrect on Monday's listing and is not being picked for recording due to the 28-day rule. Strangely, Friday's listing is correct :confused:

[whitebj]

Tivo missed last weeks episode because it said there was another showing but there isn't. Checking the 'to do' list showed that Tribune have put this slot as being a 2002 programme about Diana Princess of Wales with the title "What The Butler Saw" for both this week and next week so I have marked both episodes to record myself just in case. It is showing the right programme length though.

It is because it is set as a generic series with every description the same. It doesn't have individual episodes.

However, the BBC are supplying Tribune with different descriptions. When new data arrives, all the descriptions change because there is only 1 stored.

This weekend, the listings for the 17th/18th have arrived so have blasted over what was there before.

Tivo was set to record :

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 9:30pm - 10:25pm

followed by

Murder Prevention 10:25pm - 11:25pm

with a 2 minute buffer before and 5 mins after.

SWMBO ended up with one 27 min recording and one 1hr 35min recording.

So, bacon saved :D , everything is there, but any reason for the peculiar split :confused: ?

The episodes on Saturday on BBC2 are repeats of the episode which aired the previous Monday on BBC1.
Currently if you have SPs on both channel you will get duplicates being recorded.
Broadcast 13 should be EP6335960038. This has been wrong all year.

A) This is the same series, should be in one SP.

B) The BBC4 data isn't as good as the BBC2 data, and is an unnecessary duplicate (like Spooks, and many many other BBC3/4 series).
ALL 3 should be EP6680250004, "Wide Eyed".
[update - after reading pmk's comment later, this part was correct; the BBC4 ep should be different. But it should be in the same series!]

There is only ONE Episode per week, at 00:30 on Sat and Sun. Those 20:30, 11:30 and 22:30 look weird to me, perhaps they have changed the schedule but if so it is new.

1 is ok but should be called "11 December"
2,3,4 should all be duplicates of 1.

5 is ok but should be called "18 December"
6,7,8 should all be duplicates of 5.

Previously reported Sep, Oct, Nov 2002, and Feb 2004.

** missing episodes.

During Sat/Sun early hours BBC1 shows the output of BBC24. But it shouldn't be on BBC1 only, it's not a BBC1 programme.

Also there is only ONE Episode per weekend. Please can this series be set as Episodic; it is a simple template pattern that hasn't changed for over five years :-(

There is one episode per week - Monday 21:00. The others are duplicates.

Sky At Night was totally missing from the schedules last night, it should have been 00:10 -> 00:55 6th December 2004 BBC1. Luckily I caught with a manual recording at the last minute (and I think the same episode is repeated for others on BBC2/4 later this week).

The reason isn't unknown - it's what I wrote in my post last night! HTH

[Toothy]

Still no guide data for Talksport on Sky Ch 858. :(

That's over three days now. :( :(

Each programme is listed as TalkSport and is SP-able....which if you set it....cancels everything in TDL. :eek: :eek: :D

More information the BBC4 showing is an extended showing. BBC1 was 45 minutes, the BBC4 is 60 minutes. This is confirmed by announcer at end of BBC1 showing.

This is being tied in as being the same series as was on BBC and UKTV channels with a first showing date of December 2002.

It's actually a brand new series debuting this weekend, with no connection to the BBC version, and is called Marple (the Miss has been dropped).

Tribune: You have this series' episodes categorised as an "SH*****0000" generic code, it should be an "EP" individual episode code. The first showing of each episode is the first showing on Fridays; the remaining showings on Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon are repeats of the same episode. Coding each with an ep name of the Friday's date as you do with other similar shows would be ideal.

To be honest I think we're getting a bit greedy here. I know most of us pay £10 a month for listings - but for a long time we never had radio programme titles, never mind programme detail information.

In a long campaign to win over Tivo and secure some radio listings, most of us accepted that we would value title listings for the likes of TV-programme-type schedule stations like Radio 4.

And at the time, many of us campaigning for that, promised faithfully not to whinge about programme details like episode details, repeats and specific information such as that requested above.

For my £10, I'd prefer Tribune to concentrate on up to date accurate information for the main TV channels and their off-shoots.
Sorry that sounds like a discussion doesn't it ?

Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1) screwed up tonight - it was a two parter split by the news, and both parts were given the same name so it only recorded the first one.

I appreciate minority channels are low down Tribune's priority list compared to BBC1 & ITV1 at Christmas, but surely channel FIVE's peak-time listings for this week would be seen as important.

Problem: The Pilot is timed as 1:05 starting at 22:00 but the start time for ep. 2 is 23:00.

Kinda makes show/episode title wishlists a bit useless.

[cwaring]

My FROSP has picked this episode up, probably because of the generic data! It still going to be recorded, so there's not really a problem :)

[sjp]

yeah but how come the 2nd episode data is OK?

anyway... tivo/living/charmed too confusing for me (how many episodes in the current data???)... this one is going on the Sky+ box, less safe SL perhaps but even with an FRO SP *far* too many episodes were going to be recorded.

Problem: The Pilot is timed as 1:05 starting at 22:00 but the start time for ep. 2 is 23:00.

This overlap is also listed on DigiGuide but cannot possibly be correct... No channel would have such a high priority new show airing like this.

Please double check. The Radio Times (http://www.radiotimes.com/) has the same timings.

Maybe you should contact Channel 4 (http://www.channel4.com/contact_us.html) to let them know...

[sjp]

another yeah but...

the way TiVo has it prevents back to back recordings (unless you toss a coin and decide which to cut short when setting up a manual recording... my *guess* is that ep 2 will not start before ep 1 finishes but hey, it's C4/E4 so who knows).

my concern is getting tribune to get it right before broadcast time, not enough time to go via the broadcaster and then back to tribune. cut out a couple of days and get tribune to sort it out seems quickest to me.

Sorry about that :o I changed my response when I had checked my own Tivo to see if it was going to be recorded or not.

Don't see why you would want to Sky+ it seeing as we have already estsblished that it will be got by Tivo, plus you can just delete the unwanted eps from the SP :)

quoting you this time ;)

i tried an FRO SP this morning and there were stacks (not exactly a numerical counter admittedly) of unwanted airings picked up, not just the usual "few" you get with the likes of stargate etc. i'll probably end up backing up the Sky+ recording (recording the first showing of the week) with a low priority repeat showing on the tivo just in case - once the data is sorted. the current data isn't that confusing, i'm just lazy :)

All the extra eps are because LivingTV are having another "Charmed" weekend in January :)

I have already put this in the correct thread, but thought that it was such a big thing (and as I have have been told that 'not everyone reads the Errors thread') that I should also put it in it's own seperate thread :)

For those who don't know, in light of recent events (and for obvious reasons!) Sky One will not be showing either "Category 6: Day Of Destruction" scheduled for 2100 or "Totally Out Of Control: Nature" tonight.

My last 'daily call' was 0015 this morning and the updated programme list has not appeared. FYI, here it is:

'Sports Night' has finished its run, so as of Mon 3rd Jan, ABC1 is showing 'Mad About You' at 17:35. However, TiVo still thinks 'Sports Night' is on (and at 11:25). In fact, at 11:25, 'Daddio' is now showing and as 'Mad About You' is on at 12:40, 'The Geena Davis Show' is now showing 11:00-11:25, replacing 'Nurses'.

The radiotimes website seems to have it correct - schedule should now be:

06:00 Unhappily Ever After
06:30 Nurses
06:55 The Sinbad Show
07:20 Daddio
07:45 8 Simple Rules

Agatha Christie's Marple - A Murder Is Announced & A Body In The Library

"It's a mystery" as Miss Marple, or indeed, Toyah might say.

Actually, since only four stories have been broadcast, it's good going.

Celebrity Big Brother Little Brother is abbreviated to CBBLB (first showing 23:05 tonight) in the guide data. This means a wish list for "big brother" so it picks up all Big Brother related programmes will not work. Not a direct data problem as channel4.co.uk says CBBLB but my paper TV Guide spells it out in full. HTH.

The listings for this/next week have indeed appeared on my Tivo since I posted. There seems to be nothing beyond the end of next week though, and usually the radio listings are available much more in advance than the TV listings. Never mind. At least the current ones are back. :)

Also last years season pass for "Celebrity Big Brother" on Channel 4 is picking up all episodes except the first one, which is incorrectly given a separate series id, and has been named "Celebrity Big Brother Live Launch Show" (9pm tonight). This means people relying on their old season pass will miss the first episode.

Too late to do anything about it now I know but this is a good example where local UK knowledge applied to the guide data would be useful.

It's certainly very hard to debate as to whether listings for three weeks in the future are accurate or not, especially as by the time that far future becomes the present I at least have completely forgotten what I was talking about anyway.

But I do know that previously my Tivo had the BBC Radio 4 and 7 channel listings for several weeks ahead, complete with programme names. Now they just give "BBC x" channel slots beyond the end of next week.

albeit with a Radio 4 flagship programme, Desert Island Discs, with no details whatsoever again... there seemed to be an improvement early December but things seem to be back to normal i.e. crap

[OzSat]

To to confirm - it is normal for all BBC and ITV channels to only have listings up to the end of next week's Friday - whetever this day is today.

Over the Christmas Holidays the schedules were released early and so things went on an extra week or two for a while - but now its back to "only to the end of next week's Friday.

This data seems to be a touch flakey... the first showing is Sunday at 21:00 with a repeat showing the following Tuesday at 22:00 - currently tivo is recording both showings... the main problem seems to be with the Sky One Mix showings which are Thursday and repeated on Saturday (iirc)

Currently the Sky One and Sky One Mix data for the first episode, shown during the week 16th-22nd, do not match - the SOM data seems to be for another episode altogether.

As of the most recent download the following week looks to be getting better but anybody relying on the SOM showings will have 28 day problems with the first, incorrectly named, episode should that actual episode be one of the first 4 eps (i.e. due to be shown within the 28 day rule period).

i suppose they could still arrive over the weekend but if the above "released on the same day" equates to downloaded the same day then it didn't happen... Radio 3 and 4 data runs out next Friday whereas the TV data goes the full distance up to the following Fri night / wee small hours Sat morning.

[OzSat]

Before anybody says - the schedules for ITV1 for w/b 17th Jan - are for Granada (whichever region you are in).

This has happened before and is normally corrected in the next day's download.

Also, BBC2 for the same week only runs for 3-4 days.

There is no need to report these problems.

Before anybody says - the schedules for ITV1 for w/b 17th Jan - are for Granada (whichever region you are in).

This has happened before and is normally corrected in the next day's download.

Also, BBC2 for the same week only runs for 3-4 days. This was corrected in today's download.

Programme: Weekday BBC One 1pm News
Problem: The 1pm News used to be in series SH474889. Now it's lumped in with the BBC News 24 series. Programme description now reads "BBC News 24 brings you the day's top stories." !

Please can it be moved back to it's own series. Thanks.
