ARCHIVE THREAD: Old TiVo Programme Listings/Schedule Errors

Channel Name: BBC2 (LDN + Sky)
Channel Num: 102 on Sky
Programme Name: Robot Wars: The Fifth Wars
Time/Date: Every Friday 1845 and 0015 (Saturday morning) this week

Two problems with this:
First is probably a BBC problem, but still; Robt Wars has now had three different names. Robt Wars Extreme had a slightly different format, but do we really need a (SP-breaking) name change to tell us it's the fifth series? I know a Wishlist will pick it up, but I missed the start of the current series because I didn't know it was starting with a different name.
Second - Robot Wars isn't really Science Fiction :-) Science, yes. Children's, maybe. Science Fiction, no.

The 16/6 episode is listed as separate to all the other episodes, so any SPs for this programme will miss this episode.

A season pass for the tweenies (and other programs?) on Cbeebies records *all* episodes even though everything on the channel is repeated 3 times a day.


This is still broken - first reported in Feb :-( I have reported it here numerous times and reported it to CS. Will it ever be fixed?

It is *always*:

9:00 Tweenies Ep1
9:40 Tweenies Ep2

13:00 Tweenies Ep1 *repeat*
13:40 Tweenies Ep2 *repeat*

17:00 Tweenies Ep1 *repeat*
17:40 Tweenies Ep2 *repeat*


A similar pattern for Bob the builder (I episode a day repeated 3 times)

:-(

It should be a separate series and season pass, most listings are referring to it as the program "International Motor Racing", though F3000 would be nicer.

From the program details, if you press enter, and scroll down for the run time of films, they are always wrong for all film on all channels.

If the film runs for 2hrs 5min, the extra details screen will list this as 205min (There is not 100minuites in an hour) or 3hrs 25.

I use ths screen for the extras,like actors/director/write info.

Quick Question - hope this is the correct place.

Big Brother's Little Brother is recording itself on my TiVo under a Season Pass TWICE every night - at 7 and around 10ish.

It is my understanding the 10ish showing is a repeat of the earlier one. Is this a problem with my TiVo or the guide data?

I have checked some today and the display is correct - ie: 133 minutes (2:13)

As it is backdoor access then it is not officially supported!

Yes I have backdoors enabled.

I have just checked 5 films at random from all listed.

Program schedule time - Run Time from Extra details screen
1hr 30 min - 117min
2hrs - 156 min
1hr 30 - 131 min
1hr 30 - 113 min
1hr 50 - 143 min

None of these are correct, and I,ve yet to see one that is.

If this information, which is simple, and easy to verify is incorrect, its no wonder other info is wrong. Episode numbers, OAD etc are wrong.

I,ve seen a program (can't rember which one now), but it was part of a series, and the details were listed as not part of a series and every program was listed with episode number 0.

[OzSat]

I know the errors time errors you refer to because I have seen them - but not today.

But as I say - because it backdoors - which you shouldn't be using - I don't think anything will be done until the times become a part of the standard display.

Tivo's listings for MTV:UK are very wrong, when compared to SkyGuide.

For example, TiVo lists the Osbournes as being shown at 1am on Monday 17th June. This doesn't appear to the case.

It also lists Jackass as being shown at 10:30 on Monday 17th June, where in truth it's a repeat of The Osbournes being shown.

Just generally TiVo's version of events for MTV:UK are wrong.

Postcode: CW8
Service: Sky Digital England ( plus Cable )
Channel Names: E4
Channel Numbers 205
Programme Name: E Graham Norton
Programme Times: multiple

Repeat showings of "E Graham Norton" on E4 are not being flagged as repeats.

Note: Do NOT get this confused with the similar sounding program "V Graham Norton" on Channel 4 ( the shedules for that are correct )

"E Graham Norton" and "V Graham Norton" have *different* and complicated shedules, the *full* picture is:

"V Graham Norton" is on Channel 4 ( SkyDigital number 104 and cable and terrestrial )
It is a comedy/chatshow hosted by Graham Norton with different guests each day.
A *new* episode is on *every* weekday Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri.

An hour-long compilation of the best bits of the past week is shown early Monday morning on Channel 4. This show is also ( unfortunately ) called "V Graham Norton"

I think the only way to sort this is to flag every "V Graham Norton" on Channel 4 as a new episode ( since the early Monday best-of has the same title and isn't strictly a repeat of any one particular episode )


Confusingly, this same hour-long best-of-the-week compilation is also shown on E4 ( SkyDigital 205 and cable ) but here it has been renamed to be "E Graham Norton" ( note the 'E' instead of 'V' )

This same show is *repeated* several times over the weekend on E4. The *first* Saturday showing is the new/latest-highlights episode for the week just gone and any subsequent showings after that one are repeats of it.

So for "E Graham Norton" on E4 all episodes can be flagged as repeats of the episode shown *first* on Saturday.

It looks as though this is about to be fixed. View Upcoming Episodes shows episode titles for the evening shows of Seinfeld from next Monday, and for the late night shows from the Monday after, so in a couple of weeks time, our season passes should start working properly again.

There are programmes on ITV2 before 9:25 - they carry programmes from GMTV from 6am to 9:25am, except for some ntl viewers, where these are blacked out.

Having said that, I too have no listings for ITV2 next week, being on the ntl (with GMTV2 blacked out) version.

The same show of "E Graham Norton" is *repeated* several times over the week on E4. The *first* Saturday showing is the new episode for the week and any subsequent showings after that one are repeats of it.

So for "E Graham Norton" on E4 all episodes can be flagged as repeats of the episode shown *first* on Saturday.

According to TiVo's schedule data, there are two back-to-back episodes of The Larry Sanders Show on PlayUK from about 3am every morning.

I have set a Season Pass for this show, so I naturally get two recordings every day. Unfortunately, the first recording always starts halfway through an episode of TLSS, and the second recording is of a totally unrelated music show - so obviously the schedule data is seriously adrift.

[gavinss]

I have at last found a use for 'First Run' feature on terrestial TV, and it is not working!

There are two series of 'Airline' on ITV at the moment. The one daily at 5.30pm is a re-run, and should therefore not be recorded if 'First Run' only is set.

The one at 8.30pm weekly is the new series, and so should be recorded.

However, both are getting recorded if 'First Run' only is selected.

I'd rather they fix more current programmes (such as Big Brother, which still does not obey the 28 day rule) than fiddle around with stuff on the archive channels. (edit: OK, it's BBC1 not an archive channel)

[OzSat]

I personally would prefer them to fix anything I might happen to stumble across in a blind panic to avoid such rubbish as Big Brother :D

Same thing for M*A*S*H. Sky EPG has individual episode summaries. TiVo has the same summary for every episode.

"The staff of an army hospital in the Korean War ........"

Also on Paramount.

[bignoise]

Seinfeld has no programme information because Paramount didn't issue any to the press. Just that generic "Series in which Jerry Seinfeld stars as himself, a television comedian" description. The same is true for a number of episodes of MASH, although I think that has become a bit better recently.

It depends on the channel, but EPG details usually come from the same data which feeds the playout systems. As such they only need to be ready 7 days in advance - as opposed to the 6-8 weeks lead time on press listings which is what TiVo works from.

There ARE still a lot of generic summaries for Seinfeld and MASH, even on the EPG. (The final series of Seinfeld and the first series of MASH certainly had no synopses anywhere, not even the EPG.)

My Wishlist Keyword "Rupert Murdoch" didn't pick up this show - because the name Rupert wasn't in the show title - but it would have picked it up if the synopsis was present.

Seinfeld synopses now available. Great news ! Trouble is tonight's was the summary for yesterday's episode. Episode was The Baby Shower,synopsis was for The Deal. Hope this can be corrected.

Again, that error is in the original listings that Paramount issued. (It's the same on their website.)

- The synopsis for given for tonights episode is actually for next weeks episode and because of this, the OAD for next weeks episode is given as todays date and therefore will not be recorded by a Season Pass.

I have just reported this to Tivo CS so hopefully they will be able to alter the OAD for next weeks episode within the next seven days so it will be recorded. However, for those - like me - with a SP, I suggest you keep checking it just in case!

Note: I hope the above makes sense :)

This has not yet been sorted. Can you get it looked at, Ozsat?

The episode data is wrong for all ITV2 showings. It says that it is a "CBC" programme, with no episode flags or descriptions. Even the description used, "People interact in a working-class neighborhood" (sic) uses USA spellings :(

You have a full correct set of episode data for the ITV1 showings. The ITV1 showings have correct descriptions, and correct episode numbers. Please use them for ITV2! (note that ITV2 shows re-runs which are of the episode that aired earlier that evening on ITV1. The showings during the afternoons are of episodes which aired a few days previously).

Problem 2: The descriptions for the ITV1 showings are beginning to contain flags which indicate they are re-runs. Eg tonight's episode starts with "Shown on Sunday". This is Sunday! That text is the sort of text I would expect to read in the re-run of this episode which is due to air Tues 2nd July on ITV2.

Both episodes have been given the same title "6 July" and a TiVo season pass will only record one of them. They are actually entirely different episodes, as the different descriptions and programme durations make clear. This happens every Saturday - it was wrong on 29 June as well. Suggest giving the first showing a different episode title i.e. "6 July - The Task".

The first of the two showings is shown on other listings services as "Big Brother Live - The Task" rather than just "Big Brother Live", but it is probably best to change the episode title rather than programme title so as to avoid problems with existing season passes.

And from the BBC Choice website http://www.bbc.co.uk/choice

Can I second the request made above to list Tour de France highlights under a seperate title to the daytime coverage.

In general for any (sports) programming it would be *very* useful to distinguish in the title between live coverage, repeat of live coverage and highlights

Also when I was trying to set up seasons passes over the weekend there also seemed to be some confusions between titles "Tore de France 2002" and "Tour de France"

You're right that there are two different series with a similar name.


The programme on Channel 5 is actually called just "House Doctor" with no "the".

The programme on DHL is actually called "The House Doctor", with a "the". This is explicitly clear if you actually watched it!

Thanks for the episode titles and 28-day rule fixing!

Mon 8th/repeated Sun 14th July is correct.
Mon 22nd/repeated Sun 28th July is correct.

However the Mon 15th is in the GD as another repeat of the July 8th episode - it's not it's a new episode "15 July". As a knock-on effect the Sun 21st is down as a new episode when in fact it is a repeat of "15 July".

I was just going to post about this. However, I will just add that the OAD for the Thursday is 17/7 and not 18/7 which will also not help distinguish the episode as the second of a two-parter.

I have set my SP to "FR only" (for the new series starting in September) and so far none of the current repeats have been recorded. However, for some unknown and inexplicable reason the episode onn the date mentioned above ("Out of Mind" - Series 2, episode 22) has an OAD of 24/7/02 (ie the date it is being shown). As all other eps have the correct OAD, I cannot figure out why anyone would think this is a new ep. Remeber: GIGO!!

Well, Tribune have amended the description and got it wrong again!

It appears there's a feature-length showing of "Broken Bow" in a 90 minute slot at 1730 on Sunday 21/7. Tribune have now amended the description of all three showings to read "Feature-length compilation of the first two episodes in this brand new series". :rolleyes: And moreover all three showings are claimed to be of episode 101 with an OAD of 17/7/02!!

Tribune, fergawdsake get it right this time!!:
17/07/02 1800-1900 C4 "Broken Bow, part 1" "In part one of the first episode of this brand new series..." OAD 17/07/02
18/07/02 1800-1900 C4 "Broken Bow, part 2" "In part two of the first episode of this brand new series..." OAD 18/07/02

I set a Season Pass for Dan Dare last week, having missed the first episode. But it didn't record it yesterday morning. I looked to see why, and Tivo said that it had been removed from the schedule. But it hadn't. Also, "upcoming episodes" showed none, and the Tivo offered to set a SP, which means that it didn't recognise that I already had, in spite of it being in the SP list.

I can only conclude that DD has been re-entred to the EPG with a different code. I've left both SPs up and we'll see what happens next week.

Added @ 2300:
Just spoke to Tracy at Tivo CS and she said that it was "too late" to get the EPG changed as "takes 5 days" to sort out reported problems. Can anyone confirm this?

[mrtickle]

5 days sounds astonishing. The last we heard from TiVoPony it's up to 48 hours after Tribune are notified of the problem. That was the worst case - the processing of the data is much faster after it's handed over to TiVo now. See the FAQ thread for a pointer to the news.

Presumably CS meant that the next time they'll speak to Tribune will be Monday with any change being actived on Tuesday night's call. Wednesday being 5 days after today.

Not sure how or why (did my post in here do it?) but I've just checked my TDL and the start-time has been changed to 5:20pm :D

[cwaring]

Would it be possible, given the limited amount of space availale, for Tribune to not include both a programme and episode description every time. For example, the programme descriton for "Charmed" is so long that the episode description is truncated every time. I think after four seasons those that watch the show already know the premise so to include it on every show is redundant. I'd much rather have a complete episode description! Also, with regard to "Charmed", I notice that you have still not cleaned up the 'starring' listings so that even the programme synopsis doesn't fit, never mind the episode details. Please look into this when possible. Thank-you.

[MRussell]

I spotted this problem a couple of weeks ago but then went away on business for a while. However, now I'm back the problem is still there.

I do not have program listings for C5 on a Saturday! I have listings upto midnight on Friday and I have listings from midnight on Saturday but for Saturday itself I just get the default 2 hour blocks!! Consequently I've missed Charmed and CSI for the last 2 or 3 weekends.

Tried rebooting but no difference.

Anyone else suffering this problem or am I going to have to call CS?

However, if the BBC1 showing DOES get recorded, then the first available BBC Choice showing is ALSO recorded (not being picked up by the 28-day rule).

The programme descriptions for BBC1 and BBC Choice showings of EastEnders appear to be identical but they seem to be lacking the episode numbers.

I have recorded other shows on different channels in this way and they seem to work with the 28-day rule. They had the episode number available.

It has been suggested to me that the lack of EastEnders episode numbers may be causing this problem.

Any chance of adding them?

Many thanks,

However the other problem previously reported is still there. Every episode
description starts with the text "shown on XXX" which you would expect to see
on the re-run's description only. (Or, with TiVo, we don't really care when it
was shown or whether we are getting the repeat or the re-run - as long as we
get one recording of the episode!)

It would be better to only have the "shown on XXX" on the re-run, or not have
them at all. It looks very strange to see the re-run's description overwriting
the first showing's description too. Please can this be looked at again?

Plus, according to http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/article.php?art_id=3055 :
"Big Brother Winner's Week, airing Monday to Friday at 6.50pm and 11.05pm, will highlight what the winner has been up to in the previous 24 hours.
An omnibus can be seen on Sunday, August 4 at 6pm and 10pm."

Sun 04 Aug 18:00 (no data yet)
Sun 04 Aug 22:00 (no data yet)

This is a separate programme in its own right, like "Big
Brother's Little Brother". It shouldn't be down as "episodes" of Big
Brother, all with the title "Winner's Week". That is a nightmare
having so many episodes with the same name, some are repeats of earlier
ones, some are new, some are omnibuses! Please can you find out from E4
what the real showings will be and update the data. I have grouped them
above in what seems to be logical showings, but this is E4 mind :)

So, problem 1 ("E" above) - some showings are down as episodes of Big Brother. Needs to be a separate programme.

Problem 2 ("M" above) - some showings are missing completely from the guide data.

To be fair - earlier today Channel 4's own website did not have this
programme. Big Brother is a big "event" for TV and the data on TiVo has
been generally very good this year - it would be great if this programme
could be fixed too to round it off nicely :)

I don't think there's any general problem with the BBC Radio listings though - they have proved very reliable since their very welcome recent introduction.

Any chance of adding BBC World Service, which is programmed in a similar TV-style way like Radio 4 ? And what about adding the great national commercial channels Classic FM and Virgin Radio ?

Channel name: Extreme
Channel no: 422
Programme: Mountain Bike Britain.

This is shown Sat and Sun at 08:30 and 18:00. The 18:00 is a repeat of the 8:30 showing, and the Sunday episode is repeated the following Saturday.

The guide data doesn't mark these as repeats of the sunday morning episode so currently each episode gets recorded 4 times, twice on the sunday the twice the following saturday.

[cwaring]

As previously mentioned, please sort out the listings for this programme on LivingTV. There seems to be two variants:

1. A simple repeating of the "starring" synopsis, with each person listed at least twice
or
2. A full programme synposis, ie "Three sexy sisters find they have inherited..... etc", which leaves no room for an actual EPISODE synopsis.

Also, the "brand new exlusive fourth series" actually ends this week, with the final episode "Witch Way Now". From next Sunday, Living are repeating the whole of this fourth series, so:

1. Remove the "brand new exlusive fourth series" tag from the synopsis and
2. Change the "OAD" to the actual OAD so that my SP for "First Run Only" doesn't pick them up. The OAD for next Sunday's S4E1 SHOULD be somewhere around 23/2/2002 and not 04/08/2002.

For two weeks running Tivo has only recorded the first half of this programme. The start time is correct, but it stops after 15 minutes - the programme is 30 minutes long.

Digiguide also has this data incorrect (it lists a 15 minute 'preview' slot here) so it's fairly clear that the data coming from Granada is fubar - at least Tribune go t the correct programme in this slot... they just need to tweak it a bit.

- Time/Date of airing - Tuesday 6th August 8pm

This episode is not being recorded. The 'Recording History' states that it was shown in the last 28 days. It would appear that the details are wrong for the programme. This Thursday, Holby City's episode is 'Judas Kiss' which is correct. However, on the 6th August the episode is 'Judas Kiss Part Two'. Unfortunately it has been given EXACTLY the same title as this Thursday's (with PART TWO missing) hence the 28 day rule coming into effect incorrectly.

- Service Provider: Analogue aerial/Sky Digital
- Channel Name: BBC1 / BBC Choice
- Channel Number: 26 / 160
- Programme Name: EastEnders
- Time/Date of airing: All
- Problem encountered: I have added SPs for EastEnders on both BBC1 and BBC Choice so that, if a higher-priority recording stops the BBC1 showing from recording, the repeat on BBC Choice at 10pm (or at 7pm on the following Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday) will be recorded.

However, if the BBC1 showing DOES get recorded, then the first available BBC Choice showing is ALSO recorded (not being picked up by the 28-day rule).

The programme descriptions for BBC1 and BBC Choice showings of EastEnders appear to be identical but they seem to be lacking the episode numbers.

I have recorded other shows on different channels in this way and they seem to work with the 28-day rule. They had the episode number available.

It has been suggested to me that the lack of EastEnders episode numbers may be causing this problem.

Any chance of adding them?

Many thanks,

Daz

Every episode description starts with the text "shown on XXX" which you would
expect to see on the re-run's description only if is was in a printed listing.
With TiVo, we don't really care when it was shown or whether we are getting
the repeat or the re-run - as long as we get one recording of the episode!

It would be better to only have the "shown on XXX" on the re-run, or not have
them at all. It looks very strange to see the re-run's description overwriting
the first showing's description too. Please can this be looked at again?

Following from earlier discussions and DazBarber's post. Looking at the guide data, it seems that
the reason a double-season pass for BBC One and BBC Choice doesn't work
properly is that the TmsId of the re-run of an episode on BBC Choice doesn't
match the TmsId of the same episode when it was first shown on BBC One.

Problem: Channel 4 is showing the Oscar-nominated mega-long Bollywood movie "Lagaan" this weekend - 2 hours on Saturday 3/8/02 at 1230, and 2 hours 10 minutes on Sunday 4/8/02 at 1240. Of course, when you select it in TiVo it only sets up a recording of the first part as the description is identical and you have to "view upcoming broadcasts" to get them both.

After you've recovered from the RSI :) if you could explain all these flags they use; TmsID, IsEpisode, etc, so that we can all specify what needs fixing (or at least I can - I'm nosey like that!). Ta muchly!

SWMBO spotted this has no listings at all. (Mind you, all she does is flick on to it to laugh at some frightful old queen who seems to present shows in a 1970's style open-to-the-navel shirt, but then I'm a grown man who watches Star Trek, so each to their own.)

And MotorsTV now has listings (if a little scant on program descriptions) so thanks very much for that. Although anything you can do about me recording motorcycle racing by mistake due to fat fingers!?!?

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but while searching the EPG just now I noticed that tonights "ITV News At Ten" is not there! The film is shown as 8pm-10:50pm when in fact there is 20 min break for the news.

Just thought I'd mention it :)

This is what happens when one tiny error occurs in the EPG.

I have SPs for "Home & Away" (6-6:30pm, Ch5), "Buffy" (6-7pm, SkyOne) and "Voyager" (6:45pm-7:30pm, Tues, BBC2).

Now, H&A is the highest SP so gets priority. However, I was scanning the TDL today and noticed that the not only would the ep of H&A on Tues 13/8/02 would not be recorded BUT, because of this, "Buffy" would be. However, this meant that "Voyager" would also not be recorded BECAUSE "Buffy" would be.

All this simply because someone at Tribune has, for both the Tues ep as mentioned above AND the Wed 14/8/02 repeat (accidently I'm sure) entered the OAD as 13/7/02.

You have ten days to correct it :)

YEAR is incorrect. It is so obvious that this series is not from 2002.
A quick look here (http://www.epguides.com/CagneyandLacey/) tells me that they are showing Season 2, which is from 1982/3. Took me all of 2 minutes!

Every showing after the first one on a Saturday is a repeat and should not be scheduled to record. In other words, there is ONE EPISODE per weekend which is shown at various times. If one clashes one of the others should be recorded. IYSWIM :) At the moment I am getting arond this with a "KAM 1" and "KUID", but would appreciate the problem being sorted properly. Thanks muchly!

The episode shown today was in fact S1E1 and not S4E1. I presume this means they are showing the whole of S1 and not S4 in this slot.

I don't think that this was Tribune's fault, but more likely a late change by the channel itself. BICBW :)

Good news. It looks as if Science Shack, Wrong Car Right Car, Liquid News and Eastenders have now been fixed! (The latter two from 12th August). It should now be possible to set a double SP for EE on BBC1+Choice and not get duplicates.

Many thanks to all concerned.

Just wanted to say that according to DigiGuide, this is how it should be:

22:25-00:30 24, episodes 11am-2pm
00:30-00:45 24 Heaven

so Tivo is correct.

New series on Discovery called "Kitchen Chemistry" is part of the 'Science Spotlight' strand. TiVo has it as programme "Science Spotlight", episode "Kitchen Chemistry". This means that only the first episode of the series will be recorded.

Programme is shown on Discovery at 2000 on 13/8, and repeated on 14/8 at 0030, 0730 and 1300. It is also on Discovery+1 an hour later. The same pattern is repeated on following weeks.

Please amend listings to show correct series name and add episode information to allow recording through a season pass.

Not really, I now see that 11am-2pm is being shown in a 2 hour block, but TiVo's guide doesn't actually list the 1pm-2pm episode, hence my confusion.

Just bought a TiVo and set it up to record the season pass of "The Bill". Tried to watch the episode last night the Tivo had got the time correct, but had recorded BBC1's Hobly City instead!! I've recorded other programs ok.

Does this happen often the TiVo records the wrong channel?

I checked the scheduler and under the episode of "The Bill" the summary had the correct Date, Time and CHANNEL!!

So why did it record the wrong one?

Cheers,

There are several threads worth a look - try an advance service for IR problems.
