The correct programme title is Superships......no space and with an 's' at the end.

Time: 19:15 to 20:00 (starting in 6 days)

Ocean Workhorses (Part 2 of 3).
Three-part series presented by Tiff Needell, revealing the sophisticated science and engineering behind some of the greatest superships. In this second programme, Tiff Needell takes a look at three highly specialised ships which perform their everyday essential tasks in the most dangerous working environment in the world: the Eirik Raude; the Atlantic Guardian; and the Vasco de Gama.

[sjp]

it looks as though the airing pattern for the new season of Charmed on Living (Sky Digital 112) is now fixed in stone (well at least in pliable concrete) and clearly shown with the DigiGuide "show this season" right click feature...

1st airing Thursday at 8pm

2nd airing Saturday at 9pm

3rd and final airing Sunday at noon

plus 1 hour for, funnily enough, Living +1 (Sky Digital 113)

Tivo is showing the Sunday noon airings but has only generic data... As mentioned above, DigiGuide has this data so it's out there somewhere. Due to clashes on Thursdays and Saturdays this airing stands a good chance of being the one that quite a few folks will have to rely on.

Next Wednesday's schedule for BBC One has two completely different schedules, depending on the FA third-round results.

I know nothing of football - does anyone know if this is going to be an issue, or will Tribune get enough of a warning to know what's up?

[bradleyem]

in all truthfullness - probably not. you only get one chance against the big boys. It'd be some result if it went beyond the 90 mins.

[edit] sorry, hadn't seen the RT, so I assumed you were on about extra time/no extra time.

I'm not sure what you mean...

BBC1 next wednesday has two almost completely different schedules listed in paralell- one if there's a football replay match on that night and a completely different one if there's no football at all. Yes, it does say that time may drift if it goes over the 90 minutes. The message on Radio Times says "Depending on the FA Cup third round results, one of the following evening patterns will apply."

What I'm asking is do we know already which of the two alternative schedules will be followed - or will we know early enough if it depends on a match that's on this weekend?

TiVo's opted for the football match schedule.

I beleive this is the version TiVo already has.

Where are you getting this info from?? Because it certainly isn't TiVo.

A Wishlist for Manchester United won't record that game as it isn't listed in the guide data.

[pmk]

If anyone used to record "Danger On The Beach" it may have changed its name to "Seaside Rescue" it is on BBC1 tonight at 19:00, my paper based TV guide lists as "Danger On The Beach" (return of the fly on the wall series) but both TiVo and BBC Web Site lists as Seaside Rescue. HTH.

Just watched this and to confirm it looks like TiVo was correct and paper based guides were wrong. The programme is called "Seaside Rescue".

[For reference this episode was NOT related to Boscastle (I think the TiVo description was correct) and in the next week bit at the end of the episode there was no mention of Boscastle either]

HTH

[AENG]

Thanks, pmk. Glad to know the EPG was apparently correct and RT (uncharacteristically) wrong.

[steveroe]

RT has next week's episode as "Seaside Rescue"

Grrrrrrrr! This is what happened:

The BBC changed the series title from 'Danger on the Beach' to 'Seaside Rescue'.

The episode on 12th Jan should have been about about a car going over a cliff in Torbay. I don't know what was screened - but that is what the BBC list (and TiVo) had.

The episode on 19th Jan should be about a diver in distress - listed by BBC and TiVo.

The episode on 26th Jan should be about a boy over a cliff.

No BBC listings I have mention Boscastle.


I think Tribune have switched the episode to dates rather than places - as Torbay features in programmes 1 and 2.

TiVo has removed all future editions of the show from my To Do list. It must have happened overnight last night because they were all still there when I went to bed, but todays episodes were missed. The Recording History says that the recordings have been cancelled because the programmes are no longer in the schedule. However they are still in the schedule in the TiVo programme guide.

I had to set a new season pass to restore my programmed recordings. Obviously (and very annoyingly), the ID for the show has been changed without warning. Bad Tribune!

Sunday 16 January 2005, 12.00 to 13.30

This is the 1950 film with James Stewart and Jeff Chandler. The TiVo description reflects that, but the year and cast data show the information for the 1996 film of the same name with John Travolta and Christian Slater.

[pmk]

TiVo is not listing "Serious Arctic" at all.

This is a new series which started on CBBC (Freeview Channel 30) this afternoon.

[from www.bbc.co.uk]

Serious Arctic
CBBC Sat 15 Jan, 14:00

Serious Arctic
CBBC Sun 16 Jan, 14:00

(i.e. Sat and Sun at 14:00 until end of series, possibly 8 episodes)

At least my paper based guide got it wrong also, it is still very annoying as TiVo should be able to sort out changes to the schedules.

Last call data was early this morning so that isn't the problem. I think it will start showing on BBC1 soon also.

It is. The changeover point seems to be between 7am and 8am. I had a call at half five yesterday morning and the data was very incomplete. I forced one at 8am and all the rest of the listings arrived.

It is not download problem as I still have the same problem after a manual update and the standard automatic overnight update. It is indexing fine also. It is just basically the guide data is wrong. TIA.

If kitschcamp's data is correct, how can yours be wrong? We all get the same data downloads.

The Sky One / Sky Travel start of the new season of 24 on Jan 30th seems to be a little confused.

Sky Digital
ch. 139
Sunday Jan 30th
Sky Travel 9pm - a 1 hour slot with the data covering the initial 2 hours (7am - 8am and 8am - 9am) and at 10pm the 3rd hour (10am - 11am)

maybe they're showing it 30% faster on Sky Travel to allow them to squeeze 3 hours into 2 ;)

The Sky One data looks to be OK - fwiw, please note that Sky Travel is also on Freeview.

[pmk]

Originally posted by cwaring

Okay, I have checked my download, QC and Indexing date and they are all current. If I go to pick programme to record and enter "Ser" only one programme is listed and it is not Serious Arctic so something is not correct. Checking the TV Guide on screen does not show Serious Arctic on Sat/Sun 14:00 either this week or next it is some other programme.

Can someone else apart from Carl and Stephen try the same on their TiVo to see if there is some kind of pattern?

I am trying another daily download just in case TiVo is lying on the last time it downloaded and indexed or new guide data was issued after 12noon yesterday.

TIA

I'm sorry. My mistake.. It was not my intention to say whether there was or was not 'a problem. I was only asking the question :)

For the record, I have just added the CBBC channel to CIR and searched for the programme you mention. According to my schedule info, "The Really Wild Show" (or something like that) is on at 2pm.

"Houston, we may have a problem!" :)

My last call was this morning (Sunday) just before 1am.

Oh, and my question still stands :)

Yes I agree everyone gets the same download so everyone should have the same data. I was just trying to get my point across that as I originally said I did not believe it was a guide data problem as I had the latest download.

I can just hope that the data gets fixed. Did not want the problem to escalate / confused this much its basically just a simple guide error from what I can tell.

Cheers.

Unless the download was done after 8am then it is possible that it is not complete.

During the week the download data is complete earlier - but at weekends there are the weekly schedule release channels like BBC/ITV to update as well.

The only way you know you have a complete set of data is when the download terminates instantly.



However, Serious Artic is missing!

I didn't say I had Serious Arctic. What I said was that my data was very incomplete at 5:30am's call. A forced call filled in a lot of gaps. What I was trying to suggest was that just because it's done a call this morning, doesn't mean it has all the data - there does seem to be a data splurge around 7-8am in the morning.

We have had absolutel confirmation from both admins that Tribune do indeed read this thread.

Once again I will (also!) state the obvious. Tribune can only use the information it is given by the broadcaster. If it is wrong, how are they to know?

[sjp]

The below is very much NOT fixed... As of this mornings download the Sky One times are now falling apart. This reminds me very much of the report cards I used to get at school... lots of MUST TRY HARDER statements

the Sky ONE data now has Day 4: hours 1 and 2 in a single hour slot from 9-10pm and the 3rd hour in another single hour slot from 10-11pm.

if unfixed this means that when the proper 3rd hour rolls around (the following sunday I presume) it will not get recorded due to the 28 day rule as it was thought to have been recorded "last sunday".

i have not checked the sky travel data mentioned below.

I'm not sure if it was a one-off or not, but today, D-H&L seemed to think that it was on until 1pm, rather than finishing at 12pm, so TiVo recorded an hour of what was supposed to be Property Ladder, but what was in fact a MHEG screen telling me that D-H&L was on between 6am and midday. Mistake on tribune's part?

I think there is a listing problem on TopUp on Saturday - as UKGold hasn't been starting listings until 1pm.

There are two separate series listings for "7 Days" on BBC Three.

There appears to be a separate season pass entry for the first run of the programme and another one repeat showings, which is a bit strange and defeats the whole mechanism of being able to cope with programme clashes.

(The title should also be "The Comic Look at 7 Days" - but even Radio Times uses both versions so I guess "7 Days" is also correct)

As pahunt said above a season pass will only schedule recordings on that particular channel so you really need 3 separate season passes for "Desperate Housewives" - one for C4, one for E4 and one for E4+1

A better solution is to make a *title* wishlist for "Desperate Housewives" that you set to auto-record. A single wishlist will search across multiple channels.

Sort of a Heads-Up

During yesterday's Man Utd v Middlesbro' match, Gary Lineker (and a captioned promo) said that the mid-week Match of the Day was on BBC1 on Tuesday, but http://www.radiotimes.com/ (both the paper and online versions) and TiVo say it's on Wednesday.

Five matches, including Man Utd v Arsenal, are played on Tuesday, and five on Wednesday.

Even Bigger Heads-Up
Currently scheduled at 10:35pm, the Wednesday showing would clash with Desperate Housewives.

[Edit] I'd like to escalate this to an official Schedule Error

This thread is reporting a new ABC1 schedule with a couple of new series starting in March, the possibility of adverts due to 30 min long instead of 25 min long programmes and four theme days.

It would be great if these could be confirmed and the schedule be correct instead of having 2 weeks of the wrong data missing the start of all the new series etc :D

Word of warning - if you set your Tivo SP to also look at Sky Travel last Sunday (as I did because Tivo was busy with other stuff during the Sky 1 run of the opening of 24 and I needed to catch it 1 hour later) you will find the 2nd episode was incorrectly titled 9am-10am and in fact was 8-9.

Therefore your seasons passes on $ky 1 WONT pick up this week's real 9am-10am recording of 24.

Something is going wrong with the next two 24 episodes on Sky. The Sunday premiere and Monday repeat on Sky One (106) has a different title and ID to the Thursday SkyMix (107) repeat, for example:

Sunday 13th and Monday 14th, title "10:00 AM - 11:00 AM" ID EP4466045013
Thursday 17th title "DAY 4: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM" ID EP4466040082

Similar happens for the next week.

Not a big problem as it means extra recordings rather than missing recording.

Also, the cast list is wrong, it currently relates to season 3 not season 4.

[xxxx]

Tonight's Location, Location, Location is not being picked up, and it looks like the Series ID has changed.

I noticed this also on Sky Digital. The same applies to Pilot Hours on the Travel Channel, also on Sky Digital. Same programme name as before but old Season Passes no longer catch it.

[leejordan]

I noticed the same problem with '24' on NTL cable in the KT8 area.

Also,I had to do a manual download yesterday to get the ITV1 listings up to date so I could set a recording for the MOM (Ministry of Mayhem I think) show at 9.25 on Saturday morning which included the new series of Captain Scarlet. After last nights download this prog has disappeared and been replaced by a generic 'ITV Programming''.

Platform: Sky & Cable
Channel: Sky One
Programme "24"
Problem:
It seems that the three repeat episodes that are being shown tomorrrow (Saturday) night will all be picked-up even by a FROSP. This is because they have all been given Saturday's date (12/12/05) as the OAD. I can understand it for the first two hours (billed as stand-alone eps rather than one feature-length) but the third hour should not be as the 28-day rule applies.

[b166er]

I have an SP to Richard & Judy on Channel 4 and noticed that today it didn't record it. I looked in the to-do-list log and it claimed there's another repeat of the episode within 28 days. It must think that it already recorded that episode in the past because it wasn't clashing with anything today that it wanted to record instead and saw a future episode it could record.

I checked the listing for R&J today and it came up as "Richard & Judy : 11th February". I looked at upcoming episodes and it only plans to record the one on Monday 14th Feb.

Switching this to a manual recording :(

Edit: Platform Sky Digital, channel 104, show Richard & Judy Mon-Fri 5pm-6pm

[digital_S]

As it's half term next week, Richard & Judy Show is showing repeated sections of the recent series! That's why it's not being set to record under your SP!

[b166er]

Thanks, that explains why next week nothing was marked for recording. It doesn't explain why it didn't record for me on Thursday though. One of life's little weirdnesses :)

[Mr 999]

It should still pick up next week's episodes though - it is a listing error.

As is the fact that Ocean's Eleven data isn't set up properly - a wishlist will only pick up the first half of the film.

Fools!

[pmk]

There is something wrong with Countdown. Many of the 15:15 episodes on Channel 4 are not being recorded - reason given is already in the To Do List / Recorded in Past 28 days. This is not correct as there is a new showing each weekday afternoon.

This started to not work properly from the 15:15 showing on the 10th. The 11th episode did not record also. The showing on the 14th Monday is currently being recorded but the shows on the 15th-18th Tuesday - Friday are not.

Can this be fixed.

[cwaring]

As is the fact that Ocean's Eleven data isn't set up properly - a wishlist will only pick up the first half of the film.
For some reason, they always do this with films on ITV (ie not include the break for the news in the schedule), but then ITV shouldn't really break a film up with the news anyway :)

[Mr 999]

They are including the break, but Tivo thinks the film is repeated after the news, rather than continued.

This may be a duplicate- I'm not sure if it's an "original air date" issue or something else.

Every episode of 24's 4th season- including the 10 minute prologue- is being flagged as a first run on TiVo, even when repeated. TiVo recorded the prologue each time it was shown! On Saturday, CSI: NY was not recorded because it clashed with a repeat of 24, even though my season pass specified "first run only".

Whether this is a Tribune blunder or a TiVo bug, it renders TiVo's season pass options pointless.

Already posted by others but some more detail

Richard and Judy this week - all episodes showing as 14th Feb original air date, which if they are compilations from the series then they will each be different.

Countdown this week - also showing original air date of 14th Feb - which is wrong, but next weeks are showing air dates from 2002 - which seems equally unlikely.

The problem here is the BBC data - what you see on TiVo is actually what the BBC issued. They have not provided episode details.

Well I reported it to Tivo who will report it to TMS, but I don't know what thay'll do about it if it is the BBC. Maybe it will get fed back to the BBC as a problem?

It's not a general issue some episodes have data but I guess for some (and lets face it it's used as a filler program) it's not there. I wouldn't mind if it was just the new ones without data, or just the old ones, but it's a mix so we end up with loads of repeats we've seen.

[ozsat]

The missing data for for the brand new episode 'Crab' - in fact all the missing episodes for BBC3 are the same one.

I think it is the last of the new series - and premieres tonight.

Season 5, Episode 5 of the programme called "Sliders" (shown today on Sci-Fi, 12pm) has the wrong title. According to Tribune data it's "New Gods for God".

[steveroe]

Something is going wrong with the next two 24 episodes on Sky. The Sunday premiere and Monday repeat on Sky One (106) has a different title and ID to the Thursday SkyMix (107) repeat, for example:

Sunday 13th and Monday 14th, title "10:00 AM - 11:00 AM" ID EP4466045013
Thursday 17th title "DAY 4: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM" ID EP4466040082

Similar happens for the next week.

Not a big problem as it means extra recordings rather than missing recording.

Also, the cast list is wrong, it currently relates to season 3 not season 4.

This continues to be an issue for future episodes.

And a new one:
Title: Point Pleasant
Platform: Sky
Channels: E4/E4+1 (163/164)

This seems to have split into two series, the correct ID is 1366856, the "new" series ID (looks like it is being used for repeats) which should be pushed into the existing id is 1404577 :down:

[cwaring]

By redoing the SP it seems to have fixed the problem though.

I, too have resoted to making a new SP. Interetingly. however, the OLD SP lists around 40-odd episodes and the new one lists around 140+. Methinks there is definately something amiss :)

Same Neighbours problem as reported above; I notice that if I search by Title for Neighbours it is displaying the show in the resukts five times (UKGOLD, UKGOLD+1, BBC1, UKGOLD, UKGOLD+1) rather than the three I would expect; I wonder if this is related?

TiVo consistently records BOTH episodes of this weekly programme despite the second being a repeat. Latest occurrence: 21 Feb. and 22 Feb.

Platform: DTT (but might be them all)
Station: BBC3
Date: sorry, I think it was end Jan
Prog: Kilroy

This was a 1hr special on Robert Kilroy-Silk as he was about to tear UKIP apart. TiVo confused this with the late unlamented daytime tear-a-thon the same person used to present on BBC1.

I know this because the daytime series somehow happened to be graded 3 red thumbs given in punishment when my TiVo decided to record it once. Same 3 red thumbs were associated with the recent documentary.

PS My virgin post - be kind :)

[ozsat]

It's obvious when anyone looks at it - it reverts to generic data based on the US series.It would - as the BBC have not produced any episode for any programme beyond 4th March.

[Mr 999]

Reality TV series set in New York in which 16 candidates compete for the position of apprentice to real estate mogul Donald Trump.
OAD: 8/1/04

Well here's a free clue for Tribune - it's not set in New York, it doesn't feature 16 candidates, and it doesn't offer the opportunity of working with real estate mogul Donald Trump. Nor is the show a repeat.

So the guide data is comprehensively wrong, and I don't think you can blame the BBC at all.

[=CM=]

referring to my 1st ever post on mislabelling a BBC3 showing of Kilroy:

May I say, with kindness, that this thread is really for future errors. ;)

Welcome to the forum! :p

In my defence, it was on BBC3 which means it's going to pop up soon on BBC1 and will be repeated over & over long into the future again on BBC3!

Thanks for the welcome :-)

[sjp]

Therefore Tribune were completely accurate, to the bext of their knowledge :p :)

shame their knowledge isn't quite as good as that of DigiGuide, don't know how long they've had it correct but last weeks episode is correct and I doubt DG would correct an already shown episode.

oops conversation - tsk tsk

[cwaring]

To mod: please keep this post here until Carl can be outraged by it and no doubt post a response. Then delete it, and all Carl's replies.

I'm not outraged at all. It's a fair comment, I suppose. Perhaps there should be a "Special Errors Discussion" thread.

I took the liberty of deleting it myself :)

[Mr 999]

No disrespect meant, but how arrogant can you get? :( I'm sorry, but you really don't have a clue, do you?



Thanks for that - how very polite.

Of course it makes perfect sense - the BBC are putting out the heavily-advertised British Apprentice, and Tribune think they're pulling it mid-series and replacing it with a year-old repeat of the US version :confused:
If you weren't so arrogant and rude, you might like to take the time to discover that the BBC have indeed confirmed what they're showing next week and that the Tribune listings are in error.

Errors here never seem to be corrected, and although the listings have deteriorated in quality, the number of errors reported here fell due to the futility of posting (despite claims to the contary!).
A new push for the new Tribune office has been requested, and I'm here spending my vauable leisure time discussing a real and genuine Tribune error. The buck has been passed already, and now you're coming down and having a go at me (in a thread that's not supposed to have discussion since your last rant), even though Tribune, and not I, have screwed up.
I don't think I'll bother to report the other errors I can see if this is the reaction I'm going to get. I don't think I'll spend as long on this forum any more to be honest.

Oh, I'd just like to say thanks to the other posters who defended me - it was most heartening and probably the reason I'm not walking away for good.

Also programme description is generic "The hapless crew at Fresh are struggling to deal with the Goldstar merger.
But according to Digiguide and 17/10/04 showing Tivo description should be
Poppy's reluctant to celebrate her 18th; Lorna persuades her to go out but soon regrets it. And a flight from Tunisia is grounded for health reasons. Swearing and adult scenes.


In fact all the current scheduled showings of Mile High on SkyOne & SkyMix are repeats but my First Run is picking them up. I'm guessing at some point in the near future Sky are going to show some new episodes.....

Orphaned series IDs, presumably from data switch. Haven't checked them, out in detail, but heads up if you have an SP for one of these:

Long Way Round (Sky One)
Desperate Housewives (C4)
Rough Science (BBC 2)
Britains Worst Driver (C5)
Little Britain (BBC 2)
Classic Albums (BBC 2)
This Old House/This Old House with Steve and Norm (DHL)

I wonder how many more have been broken. What is the point of a SP if you can't rely on it to work! I am glad I converted to Wish Lists many many months ago. Still not perfect but at least you know when something is wrong. Even using Wish Lists over the past couple of weeks I have probably spent more time sorting out problems than what I did for the six months previously.

There is something wrong with "Comic Relief Does Fame Academy". There are five programmes on Saturday 26th all different. I have just played tell TiVo to record a programme and it automatically removes another programme as it thinks its a duplicate!

CBBC 17:30 - 18:00
BBC1NW 18:15
BBC3 19:35
BBC1NW 21:00
BBCTHREE 21:15

I can't confirm whether American Idol is also doing similar stupid things but I seem to be forever correcting that fact I want the repeated Sunday shows recording and not the first showings on Friday or other repeats.

[sanderton]

Here is a complete list of show titles which appear more than once in the Title index of the current live TiVo database. Some of these will be because there really are two shows of the same name (radio and TV versions of Little Britain say), some there may be an internal logic resason for being indexed twice, most I suspect are duplicate IDs for the same series. I suggest you see if there are any shows on the list you have SPs for and check! I've highlighted a few.

[mrtickle]

Wow, impressive. Comments from Sanderton's list:

(if possible could I incorporate the code that produced this into the guide data checker?)

ARENA - correct. As well as the BBC series, there is a 1953 film called "Arena" that TCM show almost every fortnight.
There is also a movie called "Dead Ringers" which is often shown on TCM, which appears as two series alongside the Radio 4/7 comedy series. Again correct.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - there should be two series - the 1970's series and the new one
COLUMBO - a lottery. They are all TV movies so won't normally be SP-able
PANORAMA - this is correct, there should be >1. There is a programme on Spanish TVEI2 which is a completely different series to the long-running BBC programme :)

[mrtickle]

There is obviously two paths of data out of BBC3. Across many many series!

BBC1 - Breakfast with Frost - Tivo thinks the same episode is shown each week, so recordings fall foul of the 28 day rule.

These and more to come are a season of "The Money Programme": they have the wavy lines of the MP at the start but are not flagged by Tribune as a series. In this case blame probably falls on the BBC who converted the MP from a dullish Sunday worthie to a glitzier outdoors series of separate progs with much more mugging to screen. The previous run of MP had the words Money and Programme in the description so a wishlist would work but this series omits those useful words.

I am still experiencing problems with Countdown on C4 at 15:15 each weekday afternoon.

For the past few weeks TiVo has no been recording these episodes (28 day rule) and I have to manually tell it to record each showing.

My auto recording title wish list "Countdown" (with quotes) seems to show it is fixed for a following week but by the time this arrives TiVo changes to the show will not be recorded.

Can anyone help on providing a proper explanation so there is a chance it will get fixed?

Just looked at the episode information in TiVoWeb and it looks like the Original Air Dates are all set to the same date but next weeks are not recording the following weeks are recording so I suspect when new data arrives it will set the following weeks to not record.

These are *always* new showings
Mon 15:15
Tue 15:15
Wed 15:15
Thu 15:15
Fri 15:15

They are then repeated in the early mornings (time vary but always thereabouts)
Thu 05:20 (will be repeat of the Mon 15:15 episode 3 days ago)
Fri 05:05 (will be repeat of the Tue 15:15 episode 3 days ago)
Sat 05:25 (will be repeat of the Wed 15:15 episode 3 days ago)
Sun 05:25 (will be repeat of the Thu 15:15 episode 3 days ago)
Mon 05:25 (will be repeat of the Fri 15:15 episode 3 days ago)

I quite regularly cancel all ~05:00 recordings as in the past these were also recorded together with the first showing.

Channel Callsign: ITV1CEN

Date/Time (shown on TiVo): Sunday 6th March 0155-0510
Problem type: Incorrect (?) description

Previously the live coverage of each Grand Prix itself had the word live in the description, e.g. British Grand Prix live, so a Wishlist could catch just the race itself. For the Australian GP the word "live" is missing. Can it return to the description of the live transmission of each grand prix during the 2005 season? In fact, according to the itv.com web site, the title of the above programme in this series is "F1: Australian Grand Prix Live".

[kitschcamp]

In fact, according to the itv.com web site, the title of the above programme in this series is "F1: Australian Grand Prix Live".

Aaargh! Don't go there. We've had that before - I've still got odd season passes and things floating around for when they've done that before. A season pass for Formula One is good. A season pass for each race isn't.

Aaargh! Don't go there. We've had that before - I've still got odd season passes and things floating around for when they've done that before. A season pass for Formula One is good. A season pass for each race isn't.

Indeed. But I think KevinHopkins is referring to the episode title, not the series title. I too remember the episode titles being useful; this time the Fri/Sat/Sun episodes are all called the same thing ("Australian Grand Prix") instead of "Australian Grand Prix Qualifying 1", "Australian Grand Prix Qualifying 2: Watch it on RTL because we at ITV refuse to show it" :mad:, "Australian Grand Prix Live", "Australian Grand Prix Re-Run", "Australian Grand Prix Highlights".

I also remember divided opinions about whether the "re-run" Episodes of a race (for the people who can't get up in the night) should be Duplicates, and so get filtered by the 28-day rule. Personally I don't think they should be, as they contain different programme content: a lack of Jim Rosenthal's patronising "well done for getting up!" in the re-run episode, less time watching nothing if the race was red-flagged and often an update to the race result if it has changed since the live event. However, for this weekend the other camp has "won", and both showings are EP7211385005.

All episodes are now in the new Season Pass (SH721138), so there is no longer a split.

However since neither channel are showing a First Run series and a Repeat series concurrently, what are you doing with a "First Run Only" SP for the X-Files? :D I think this problem would only affect peope who used to watch it on Sky One with a FRO SP, and then kept it when the series ended for some reason knowing there would be no more new episodes, and then now are getting them added to To Do.

[GarySargent]

Yes I still have a FRO X-Files in the hope it will return some day :D

Anyway no discussion in this thread!!!! Here is an error...

It is not possible to book a season pass for "The Michael Jackson Update" which is airing daily on Sky One and Sky1Mix (can only set TiVo to record single episodes).

New episodes are daily on Sky One at 1:30pm, and repeated at 5pm on Sky1Mix the same day.

Tribune added them based on only basic information being available - and none of it from Sky.

Things should get better when Sky produce some details.

I'm NOT going to call it in , the first showing is tonight and I'd rather they didn't change the OAD as Tivo will probably record more copies as the OAD will be different, but thought I'd post here is anyone else watches it.

Hi
I've just done a daily call and sky one is now correct compared to the sky1 site.

[Heuer]

What is going on with 'Tripping the Rift' (Sky1 - a must see adult space cartoon)? Last Friday it was scheduled for 10:00 and TiVo recorded part of Sudden Impact. Previous Friday I got some Police documentary. In each case the channel was correct and the banner gave the episode details. Repeats on SkyMix were also wrong. I am at the stage of recording every single showing in the hope I will get an episode!

[pmk]

Are Tribune still checking this thread? Countdown still has not been fixed. Am I expected to spend 30 minutes on the phone to customer services trying to explain this and then no doubt the agent will not understand and just fob me off?

Surely it cant be difficult to get correct its on Channel 4 a main channel, the same time each week day at 15:15, it is a new program each day. It is repeated in the early hours a couple of days behind full details in a previous post explaining how the repeats work. At this point if it just recorded all shows I would be happy, its nice and quick to delete shows but takes ages to override the 28 day rule.

Also ABC1 has lost the Episode Details for most programmes (i.e. Home Improvement, 8 Simple Rules etc) so TiVo is recording repeats for most of the day.

[Mr 999]

Same with American Idol (although it's recording 9 episodes too many each weekend) - I thought a moderator was working with Tribune to get corrections passed on?

Immediately afterward, at 10 p.m. on both the Sunday and Monday on BBC2 they will be showing a documentary "Supervolcano: The Truth About Yellowstone" in two 30 minute parts.

TIVO shows all 4 items as "Supervolcano: The Truth About Yellowstone", with an identical programme description which naturally completely screws up the planned recordings.

ABC1 schedule this morning (6th March 05) was broken.

TiVo thought it was recording 8 Simple Rules at 08:30 but it was actually Daddio

TiVo thought it was recording 8 Simple Rules at 08:55 but it was actually Geena Davis

Just checked my paper based TV guide and they had it correct. My paper based guide also has episode information also.

Guide data has not been that great for me for the past 3 weeks. All the problems seem to be affecting the programmes I need to record.

Are all the basic problems we have been experiencing related to the recent move / new offices I have been reading about?

[cwaring]

The descriptions for the new BBC "Neighbours" episodes are all over the place this week. eg the synopsis for Tomorrow's episode is actually for Friday's (I think) 'season finale' (shown in Oz last October) and my Tivo had scheduled both the 1340 AND the 1735 eps on Wednesday 'cos it thought they were different eps as the synopses were totally different.

Also..... (while I'm here!)

... the synopsis for this Thursday's NEW episode of "Charmed" (LivingTV) is incorrect. The one given is for a S2 or S3 ep (can't remember which!).

Not like anyone is listening but Countdown C4 15:15 Weekdays is still not working.

The coming week only has one showing due to Horse Racing but 9 out of the 10 shows over the coming weeks are not recorded due to 28 day rule.

See BBC website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/index.shtml)As the listings for 26th March are not released by the BBC until 17th March - it will not appear yet.

As already mentioned a few times before - only a base generic (and not very accurate) schedule is provided that far in advance.

Season pass for Bremner, bird and Fortune on C4 Sunday 8pm not working., showing no upcoming episodes. Its on 13/03/05!

Just echoing this.

The old season pass is now broken. It worked last week but didn't work this week.

[Zaichik]

I've been finding quite a lot of broken season passes lately. Either the episode identifiers are mixed, there are generic details so all episodes record, or the series code is changed so no episodes are listed at all in upcoming episodes.

[sjp]

SciFi is trailing From The Earth To The Moon at the moment.

There are currently 2 episodes in the data, the first for the Monday March 21st and the second for Friday April 1st (which in itself seems a little odd). neither episode allows an SP to be set.

Digiguide not lot of help, they're only showing a 1958 film on TCM.

this is one of the broken SP affectees... you'll need a new SP to pick up the ongoing eps. - though it might not be a bad idea to keep the old one around just in case.

if anybody's listening... is this thing fixed yet? the problem with LAWKI seemed to arrive pretty late, what seemed like a good week after the initial burst of problems.

ITV2
The Late Show With Letterman
around 1am , repeated at 5:10

towards the end of last week a download occurred that caused ALL episodes of Letterman to be picked up including those due to be broadcast over the next few days.

as of this mornings download (10am or thereabouts) this is still happening.

sure it's easy to delete the offending recordings but when a DL take place that doubles the amount of shows due to be recorded over the next 15 odd days... it's just getting a little old that's all.

The BBC1 two parter on this weekend, Sat and Sunday @ 9pm (ish) is split into two different programs, when really it should be a series (allbeit one with only two parts)

It also clashes with CSI:NY. *grumbles*

Channel BBC1
Programme The Two Ronnies Sketchbook
Date/Time Fridays 9:00pm
Problem No Season Pass and ...

There is no Season Pass for the six part series The Two Ronnies Sketchbook.

It also has generic data, so if you set up a WishList for Ronnies, it falls foul of the 28 Day Rule and only sets the first episode to record. :(

[GarySargent]

As of this morning - Sky still had not published schedules with this in.

Tribune added them based on only basic information being available - and none of it from Sky.

Things should get better when Sky produce some details.

Over two weeks later and things have got no better. Still no season pass option for "Michael Jackson Trial" on Sky One 1:30pm daily (repeated Sky One mix 5pm daily).

I can't believe Sky haven't put this in their schedules after over two weeks. Its on the TV Guide on Sky's website.

I would like to bring to the attention of anyone listening at Tribune, or anyone even interested, for the third time in the last couple of months, problems with Mythbusters.

I have already this week recorded 3 Mythbusters, only to discover that they were in fact completely different programmes. Not a Mythbusters in site, (on my Now Playing anyway).

Even more frustrating is that tivo is showing episodes of Mythbusters on Discovery+1, but not showing them on Discovery. Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely data for the +1 channels should match the original channel (plus one hour).
This shouldn't be too difficult to get right.

On the evening of March 17th, Discovery plus one shows a completely different schedule to Discovery. Now who said the listings weren't getting worse.

Been reading through the thread and just wanted to put in my tuppence ha'penny. My Season Passes for ER and The O.C have both broken and I've been manually recording when I don't see them in the To Do List. Though my old Season Pass for Enterprise came back on line when the new series started two weeks ago
Just thought I'd let you know.
Also does anyone know when these season pass issues will cease and desist...
many thanks

[cwaring]

My Season Passes for ER and The O.C have both broken
My FROSP for "ER" is working perfectly. Is yours an 'old' one from at least the last season? That could explain it, as mine is more recent.

Don't watch "The OC" so can't comment.

Also does anyone know when these season pass issues will cease and desist...
That would assume a perfect world, so not a chance ;):p :D

If you are a Doctor Who fan and are trying to catch all the specials that are on at the moment you might want to double check tonights guide data.

The "Some Things You Need To Know About Doctor Who" and "Doctor Who Mastermind" is not being picked up by a Title Wish List for "Doctor Who" as it has been appreviated to "Dr Who". (BBC2 tonight 20:30 / 20:40 respectively)

I have changed to an Advanced Wish List to catch both "Doctor Who" and "Dr Who" as keywords and that seems to have solved the problem and caught a couple more interviews etc.

HTH

[scoopuk]

And I still don't have listings data for BBC 1 next Saturday for the first new Doctor Who episode.

Neither do I 101 BBC1LDN shows 'unknown. Yet some of the regional BBC1 show the correct programmes e.g BBC1West (956) & BBC1SE (953) & BBC1EAST (952) & BBC1WSM 949

However, London & North don't seem to have lsitings. Tivo last updated 14:45 today - Sat.

[cwaring]

Erm, isn't this the norm? The Sat/Sun download brings the following week's (ie the week after next) terrestrial schedules. As far as I know that's how it's always worked and anything further is "unofficial" and therefore subject to change.

[ozsat]

A week's worth of listings starting with next Saturday (including Doctor Who: Rose) appeared in this mornings download.

It is not uncommon for some regions not to get the update until Sunday's download.

[DeadKenny]

Seems that's the case here. BBC1LDN just shows all listings as "BBC ONE" with "No information available". Other regions (including those mentioned above as 'correct') are coming up with listings but they're wrong (no Doctor Who mentioned at all, just Rugby!! :eek: ). BBC3 listings for 26th are also wrong.


On a side note, I still find Cartoon Network & Paramount listings to be frequently wrong.

[ozsat]

Dr Who:Rose is now listing in all regions - BBC3 is also correct.

[xxxx]

There seems to be a whole slew of broken season passes on BBC radio via Sky Digital.

For example: "Money Box" on BBCR4, "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" on BBCR7, "News Quiz" on BBCR7.

I think I'll write an app for my PC to search the listings on the BBC website and to record them direct over the internet.

[Milhouse]

Dr Who:Rose is now listing in all regions - BBC3 is also correct.

Still no BBC1LDN listings beyond 25 March - 26 March and beyond are devoid of listing info. :(

My TiVo succesfully dialed in at 2.40am this Sunday morning (8 hours ago) so all processing should now be complete. BBC2LDN has listings up to and including 31 March.

Analogue Telewest Cable, Post code CRO.

EDIT: Forced another Daily Call and BBC1LDN is now good upto and including 2 April (12 days) and BBC2LDN 8 April (19 days)...

[pmk]

I dont believe it! Countdown is still broken. It looks like the overnight update has yet again updated data although not completely correct it would have at least recorded each programme to data that is completely wrong (Original Air Dates are all set the same - I think this is the problem) so only the first showing of the week is recorded all the rest are not. Arrrggghhhh.

[cwaring]

Just "FYI" as I'm sure they'll appear soon, I hope :) but there are no BB1 listings after 25th March here for BBC1NTH either :( Last call was around 2am today.

[sanderton]

The problem is not the OAD dates per se, but that ALL next week's episodes of Countdown are set to the same TMSID.

I'm usually the first to spring to Tribunes defence, but this one just indefinsible. Ozsat - can you hand hold them through this one? They used to have loads of these set up with new IDs being put in autimatically, but they new guys either don't know how or it got lost in the move!

Perhaps tivo should be thinking about switching back to tribune USA until the europe office gets a bit more practise at this.

Same with Breakfast With Frost :down: :down:

By Ozsat:
I am forwarding all reports directly to Tribune. The repeating daily episodes are a problem which is being worked on.

Top man. But are they actually reading your e-mails? There's no sign of improvment here, and the mistake above has caused me a load of grief. Let's hope they get better soon.

If the listings are being provided by Europeans, why are they being published sometime after 3am each morning? Our Tivos tend to dial in earlier than that on average I think - they may as well publish better listings later in the day (at 5:30pm) then rush out incorrect ones in the early hours, as most people will get them at the same time.

Thanks Stuart. I am not sure what is wrong with Countdown all I know is at some point an update causes something to go wrong.

I have already gone through each episode and manual overridden for w/b 21st March to ensure I do not miss a programme.

For w/b 28th March there appears to be no Monday episode (may be correct / may be wrong for all I know) and Tuesday episode is being recorded but the rest of the week no 15:15 episode is being recorded.

For w/b 4 April all episodes are set to be recorded when I look at Upcoming Episodes in my wish list but if the pattern continues nearer to the time (probably next weekend) this will all change and probably the epsiode on the 4th will be recorded but the rest will not or some variation of this.

[cwaring]

For w/b 28th March there appears to be no Monday episode (may be correct / may be wrong for all I know)...
As it's Easter Bank Holiday Monday, you can probably guess :)

Just doing a forced call now.

Edit: That's fixed it :)

Still no season pass - now three weeks since this was reported. How hard can it be to add a series ID?

[the_hut]

Part II of Archangel (BBC1, two part drama, c9pm today and yesterday) this evening didn't record. I set a season pass which did record part I. Thankfully I noticed the red light wasn't on.

Bremner Bird And Fortune (C4, Sundays, 8pm) - The original season pass did not pick this up, now second week running. Should I be setting a new season pass or will the old one start working?

[sanderton]

OK, even I now have to concede that the qulaity of TiVo guide data is now getting much worse!

[ericd121]

According to the BBC - it is on BBC4 at 10.20pm and 3am on 1st April.

See 'TV on Trial' at 8pm on BBC4 on 1st April.This is going to confuse a few people!

There are going to be a few ITV programmes shown in full on BBC4 -
Coronation Street, The Sweeney, Spitting Image, etc.

OK, even I now have to concede that the quality of TiVo guide data is now getting much worse!I must admit, the fact that TiVo had two Season Passes for Archangel (a two-part drama) was both amusing and bemusing... :rolleyes:

[daveh]

And Archangel is currently shown as being on again next week-end. Which it clearly isn't. And when are they going to sort out the shambles which is 24?

[=CM=]

Station: C4
Prog: The Simpsons
Times: weekdays 18:00, Fri 21:00 (occ. 21:30), Sundays 18:00

The schedule isn't easy to track, poor old TiVo appears to have given up trying. Sunday's 18:00 was originally a repeat of Friday 21:00. On Fri 18 March they showed 2 eps (21:00 & 21:30), TiVo only took the first one.

Also: the weekday 18:00 ones should really be tracked as repeats since they were shown on BBC2 before (leaving out the argument that Sky onc got them first). A First showing setting should omit the weekday ones.

More power to the elbow: episode listings differ from the guides'/papers' ones.

[woody]

According to the BBC - it is on BBC4 at 10.20pm and 3am on 1st April.

See 'TV on Trial' at 8pm on BBC4 on 1st April.

tivo/tribune doesn't have any showings listed though, and the show returns on April 1st, according to two listings magazines, and digiguide.

The details of the show listed for BBC4, are the details of the 1st program in the new series.

Please check facts (and that your TiVo is up-to-date) before posting in this thread as it takes a lot of time trying to find errors when the error reports are wrong!

The new series starts on 31st March on ITV1 - and is listed correctly on TiVo.

The episode on 1st April on BBC4 is also listed correctly - the synopsis is that published by the BBC.


EDIT: Just checked Digiguide and it has the new series on 31st March on ITV1.

TiVo and Digiguide have the same details.

And both agree with the ITV/BBC schedules.

RE: Footballers Wives

the guide data is inacurate somewhere, as I have a SP set for 'Footballers Wives' and it shows no upcoming episodes, but a search by title does show it listed, so appolagies for this bit.

[ozsat]

I'll ask them to check the SP is not split - but all the (user) display data is correct.

Best to check in the listings - but my old pass seems to start working next week again, having missed the past couple of weeks.

[weeble]

Star Wars: Clone Wars Season 2 started today on Toonami, and although it is listed on TiVo (NTL ex-C&W, channel 903, LS12) all the episodes have the same description and the Season Pass doesn't work.

Digiguide isn't much help either, but I think Mon-Thurs the 6pm showings are the new ones and the 8am and 4pm ones are repeats of the previous day's 6pm ep.

I've had to set manuals for all of them to make sure, as the SP just picks up Tuesday's 8am ep and Friday's 5:30pm one (which is an hour long and the only one on that day).

(I didn't even realise it had started again until a review went up on AICN tonight!)

Edit: It appears that the 8am, 4pm & 6pm showings are actually the same, but include TWO 12 minute eps in the half hour. Tues 22nd is episodes 22 & 23, so Weds will be (I think) eps 23 & 24 and Thurs eps 24 & 25. Friday's 1hr block will be eps 21-25 (probably) - as will Saturday's and Sunday's. There are only 5 episodes, so the next couple of weeks should follow the same pattern (Monday will be episodes 21+22).
