You must realise that if Tribune do read and take notice of this thread that a) They are based in the U.S and will be at least 5 hours behind us. b) They almost certainly work Monday to Friday c) When they do make updates to the data it gets transferred to TiVo's data once a day d) It might take a further 24hrs before your Tivo gets the new data.

So, if they have read your post and changed the data I would not expect to get the update before Tuesday 8th Oct.

Great theory, but im sceptical since I reported the following problem on the 17th of September (and a couple of times since) and it is *still* not fixed.

Postcode: SO23
Service: FTA Digital
Channel: ITV2
Channel Number: 6
Programme Name: Spider-Man
Time/Date: Weekdays 8am

Just in case any Tribune do read this, please fix it.. its been like this since I reported it 21 days ago and still nothing has changed..

Oh how the TiVo manual didn't mention having to beg to get the correct listings.. *sigh*

All details missing. Nothing! Not even a generic description - please can you chase five for some data?

Digiguide has "Ann Maurice presents more home improvements for
properties that are proving difficult to sell. She helps Georgie Turner
sell her basement flat in Stoke Newington" for the 9th, and "Ann Maurice
presents more home improvements for difficult-to-sell properties. She
tackles a property in North Shields which is proving too bohemian for
buyers" for the 16th.

Ideally it should be episodic, with episode titles "Stoke Newington", "North Shields", etc.

The others are ok, but this one is set as generic IsEp false. should be EP2636980119 (as the Wed is already set as 118)

Also the TOTP2 Special on Sat 12th Oct at 22:15 - this isn't picked up under the SP. Would be nice if it was set as an episode of TOTP2.

No episode data here either.

DG has for 9th:
Property dealer Sarah Beeny and designer Oliver Heath present an eight-part series in which they reveal the tricks of the trade in turning a house into a stylish home. In this edition they create the perfect bathroom, and suggest ideas for creating sufficient storage space

DG has for 16th:
Property dealer Sarah Beeny and designer Oliver Heath present an eight-part series in which they reveal the tricks of the trade in turning a house into a stylish home. An easy-to-follow guide on turning a spare room into a study that can double as a guest bedroom

Why is Channel 4 not providing listings information to Tribune.

Generic description "A guide to buying and selling property." is a bit brief; category "Business and Financial" isn't ideal. Better categories would be Home and Garden, How To .

But, we really shouldn't be seeing the generic stuff. Episode details are missing from all the showings below. I have added the episodes details that DigiGuide has.

Date/time DG episode
Wed 9 Oct 10:30 (11:30 on +1) "Stroud"

What I can't understand is why the data is being supplied to Digiguide but not Tribune. I have definitely seen all the above episodes except Great Wolford in TiVo's database in the past.

Indeed, I've reported loads of errors, both in this thread and, more recently, to Tivo CS. Have things changed? no. there's still the silly repeated errors. It has nothing to do with 'system errors', but a lack of effort on the part of Triune & Tivo.
I'm writing to Tivo about this, as it simply isn't good enough. Can I just remind people to call Tivo CS if they spot any mistakes in the listings? This forum isn't an official feedback form, and Tivo can easily not realise the scale of the problem if no-one tells them.

That's very strange.
:confused:
Ah, looks like a problem with tivoweb; I remember reading about a known issue with daylight saving time. I will edit the report - ta for spotting that.

(and we get it on this forum too - for the week or so that we change our clocks and the Americans don't, the times displayed are wrong because it's hard-coded).

When posting listings errors - please can users post the channel CALLSIGN next to the channel name?

Sometimes the channel can have more than one version of listing - and it may be only one is wrong.

If you are not sure what the callsign is, it is the name that TiVo displays on screen.

so SkyOne has a callsign of SKYONE
ITV2 on NTLoriginal may be ITV2NTL whereas other users will see ITV2
BBC1 could be one of many which include: BBC1 BBC1LDN BBC1STH BBC1SCO BBC1SCD and so on ...

Channel Number: 103
Programme Name: Formula One Racing

Time/Date of airing: Sat 12th Oct 04:30-06:15

Because some TV listings systems change over days at 6am, this has been split into two broadcasts:
04:30-06:00 (EP4979440093)
06:00-06:15 (EP5401270001)

unfortunately the 2nd one on TiVo is "Formual One Racing", a typo with a completely different series ID so it does not appear in the same Season Pass as the rest of the F1 programmes this weekend.

(ta to digital_S for the eagle eyes)

The ideal fix is for EP4979440093 to be extended until 06:15 and dump the typo series completely. Otherwise bring the 2nd part into the main series but with a different TmsID.

Date and Time:Every Tuesday at 2000
Programme:Holby City

My TIVO listings show this programme as being from 8pm till 9pm every Tuesday night, and TIVO records it at this time as per the programmed season pass.

The problem is that in Scotland, since the new soap River City started a few weeks ago, at 8pm every Tuesday, Holby city runs from 8.30pm till 9.30pm, only in Scotland, but the TIVO listings have not changed to reflect this.

As a result Tivo records only the first half of HOLBY CITY, after having recordred River city, thinking it to be holby.

This seems to be a scheduling difference in Scotland, as the rest of the UK does not get River City.

The ITV region converned is Carlton (London). It may be worth doing a Guided Setup - it won't take very long and will ensure your channel list is correct.

There have not been any problems with the listings.

I can see what is causing the error - Science Shack and a whole bunch of programmes that follow it are all part of an overall branding called "Open Science". Science Shack just happens to be the first one in the block. The listings must be being supplied to you formatted badly for this to happen :(

ITV Saturday am Formula One racing practice should have been 4.30am to 6.am and then 6am to 6.15am according to everyone else but TiVo (ie Tribune)

amazingly TiVo has it as 4 separate programmes of half hour duration with one mistitled as Freescreen. Result: TiVo only records one of the half hours judging the others as repeats.

Yet again Digiguide has it absolutely right

No it did not, Digiguide had it as one programme ending at 6am and another one from 6-6.15; as previously discussed this is because programmes that cross the 6am boundary get published that way.

bobnick

10-13-2002, 06:27 PM

Digiguide wasn't absolutely right, but it was a lot better than Tivo.

If Tivo had the Digiguide, it would have recorded 4.30 - 6am, and 6am - 6.15 as part of a regular SP, which would have been fine. As it was, it thought the second part belonged to a different series :(

If I hadn't set up manual padding, I would have missed some of the excellent public information films (which were far too professional for my liking!). Next year, play the game we did, which is where every member of the family has to guess what the advert is warning you about asap - the baby in the bath caught me out - I was sure it was going to be a scalding!

TiVo thought they were all the same episode - a Season Pass only records one of the Saturday showings and misses both Sunday (Part Two) episodes.

There seem to be serious problems with the TiVo schedules on this channel. I recorded 4 programmes over the weekend, with TiVo recording two as suggestions, and in all cases the programme was not the one TiVo thought it was.

The programmes involved were:
Parole de clips
Itineraire d'un gourmet
Carte postale gourmande
Fort Boyard
Journal televise France 2 (Sat)

I haven't had time to check advance listings but I will as soon as I can and report them in detail to the helpline. Full listings are available on www.tv5.org. I know there have been complaints before about TV5 on cable, but now that it is on satellite more people will notice the errors.

This is a documentary series, with a new episode shown every Wednesday. TiVo thinks they are all the same episode and, as such, a Season Pass recorded the first episode but is not catching all subsequent episodes in the series. There are presently no repeat showings occurring, so every episode listed is a new episode and should be recorded.

Problem: TiVo schedule is fiction.

The schedule for TV5 Europe on TiVo is almost completely wrong, with the exception of a handful of news bulletins.

Examples:
"Paroles de Clips" - TiVo says 0845 Sat, TV5 says 0915 Sat
"Itineraire d'un Gourmet"- TiVo says 1030 Sat, TV5 says 1445 Sat
"Carte Postale Gourmand" - TiVo says 1030 Sun, TV5 not in schedule.

Comparing TiVo's schedule with that on www.tv5.org shows that the two rarely agree, with the exception of a few (not all) news bulletins.

I would rather that TiVo went to 2-hour listing blocks that published such an incorrect schedule: at least that way I wouldn't try to set up SPs. :mad:

I was just about to thank Tribune, as it looks like a couple of errors had been cleared up (well, CD:UK has, and Johnny Vaughan has come to the end of its series, but 1 mistake fixed is better than none).
However, I discovered that some muppet at Tribune told my Tivo that the two episodes of Popstars this evening were the same episode (despite having different episode names and descriptions!), so a SP didn't pick up the result of the viewers' vote.
Tivo thinks that the repeat of the first episode tomorrow is a new one though. Wonderful.

Just to update the situation regarding 'Reality TV' schedules.

At present there are no advance schedules (for the UK version) available to listings companies.

There is information being provided to Sky's EPG - but it is subject to change. I think that the provision of schedule information to Sky might be a contractual thing - as everybody seems to make an effort.

As soon as the schedules are releases, then Tribune will have them.

I posted the following in the Channel Lineup Error thread, but that may have been the wrong place (in which case my apologies):

Postcode : CR0
Service Provider : Telewest (Analogue)
Channel Name : E4
Channel Number : 55

Telewest channel 55 is showing BBC News24 until 4pm yet the TiVo EPG has programme guide data from 2pm, hence a 50 minute programme such as ER which commences at 3.20pm is being partially recorded when it shouldn't be recorded at all (as only the final 10 minutes is being transmitted).

At the very least the EPG needs updating so that programme data is provided from 4pm onwards and not 2pm. If anything can be done so that partial programmes are not recorded then that would be a bonus. :)

Set up Season passes for "3rd rock from the sun" (Paramount) and "He's gotta have it" (Discovery) last night only to find that they would record all episodes and repeats because of no guide data.

There is no Guide data for CNX. There is on Sky, so if I want to record something I have to set a manual recording.

TiVo now needs a lot of looking after, one of it's main appeals to me was the Season Pass which you could just set and forget about. This doesn't seem to be happening any more.

Now that Sky+ has a buffer, manual recording, 2 channel recording (coming soon I know) I am seriously thinking of switching over and I'm sure a lot of other people must be doing the same. Sort it out TiVo/Tribune/whoever!

At their end Football = American Football, Soccer = Football; the names are changed on our TiVos but probably not on their database, so it's an easy mistake!

You might be safer with an autorecord Wishlist for "Aston Villa" - can't imagine it would record too many false positives!

(Urm, that is, the last post was).

1000 posts in 259 days is two problems/day being reported factoring in multiple errors, repeats and a bit(!) of discussion now and again.

3 problems/day over 40 (?) channels, assuming 40 programmes per channel per day and only half of all errors reported gives a 0.25% error rate. Not bad at all given the information and user base involved.

All in all that's better than the quality of the average news broadcast.

Richardr

10-22-2002, 06:09 PM

Although if you factor in errors that TIVO have decided to ignore, so some of us have given up on (TV5 being a classic example for me), the level of errors is several factors above your calculation.

If you factor in that some of us love sport, and mainly use TV (and TIVO) for that, yet TIVO has decided that cricket doesn't exist, and our national sport, football, is often American football, then the level of effective errors rises somewhat more.

If you factor in that sometimes whole channels are inexplicably wrong for days at a time (ITV News Channel currently for example), yet aren't included in your calculation, then the problem rises even more.

Depends when they planned it.
Listings changes take around three days to process. If the BBC made the programme change after Saturday (educated guess) then there's no way Tivo's EPG could be updated in time.

Just my thoughts. There may be a flaw in my thinking. It is after midnight :)

Hi

Am having problems with recording Bargin Hunt on BBC1 on a season pass (BBC1 London DTT). The show comes from a selection of Antique Fairs around the country, and Tivo is using the location of the fair as the episode name. However, several episodes are filmed at each fair, which Tivo cannot distinguish due to this naming system. As a result some episodes are not being picked up due to the 28 day rule. Please can tribune fix this asap.

The is not a scheduling error, just a 'heads up' to those recording the later showing @ 12:50am. For some reason E4 have shcedule only 45 mins for this showing. I am 99% certain that this will not be long enough. When you remove the ads US shows are only around 43 minus in length anyway and there has to be some adverts in there! Even the S1 showings on Sky One are 50 mins.

I'd add 5 mins padding if you can. ( I can't 'cos the Sky One ep starts immediately after the E4 ep. May have to catch it Sunday AM. I LOVE REPEATS :)

Worked fine for me on the first run through - Sky are showing those late night ones with very few very short ad breaks (2 ads) which caught me out while watching one last night as I kept going way past the restart after hitting the 30 second skip 5 or 6 times!

Here's a heads up for those of you who have SPs to Popstars - yet again, Tivo will record several copies of the main show, and no copies of the results show. You'll need to tell Tivo to explicitly record the results section - Tribune have correctly named and described the shows, but for some reason have given the two parts exactly the same IDs (which is the bit Tivo uses).
Tribune were named and shamed last week, so I'm not holding out too much hope that the problem is fixed for next week.

come on tribune, surprise us!

I will call Tivo CS in the morning. I know it's a little late to get Tivo updated, but as it was a while ago, I thought the problem might get fixed. It hasn't! Anway....

Postcode: WF1
Platform: TW AD
Channel: Sky One, 120
Date/Time: 6pm, Monday 29/10/02
Problem:

Guide data screwed again!

I have a wishlist I have set up for the repeats (medium setting) and a FRSP set for the new Season (best setting, KUID).

In the WL the correct episode, "Enigma", is listed for the above date and time. The WL also shows the same episode again in the 6pm slot; as it should!

However not only is the TDL entry for the same time a totally different and completely wrong episode with a stupid and non-existant* OAD but it has been picked up by the FRSP - see note below. Also, the episode doesn't even have a title given!!

"Enigma"
isEpisode=true
OAD=30/1/98

Other episode
isEpisode=false
OAD=9/5/02 (*A date on which, btw, not even the latest season was being shown in the US.)

Note: It's bad enough when one programme has errors, but this has the knock-on effect of two other SP not being picked up - "Home & Away" @ 6pm and "Buffy" @ 6.45pm. (Yeah, I know both are repeated and these repeats have been schedule OK but that's not my point :D)

Edits for clarity

I was alerted to this missing episode by a continuity voice-over at the end of the last episode (15/10/02) announcing when the next episode would be broadcast (it's a 2-parter).

DigiGuide also reports the final two episodes of the series as being on 4/11/02, @ 00:15 & 00:35. Hopefully these will be added to TiVo in due course.

A new series of Time Team starts on 1st Nov 02 on C4 20:00 to 21:00. The TiVo incorrectly names this program "Time Team" as it appears that these are now called "Time Team Digs" series of 8 programmes.

Can TiVo handle this? i.e. all season passes for "Time Team" need to be changed to "Time Team Digs"?

A bit off topic I suspose but I guess the correct program name should still be used - I suspect the change in name means a change in program format etc and will means if you only want Time Team Digs recorded it will not record old Time Teams.

Indeed. A bit like the Time Team Special where Phil and Tony went to Merica to dig up dinosaurs - not your typical time team, and it had a unique name. For series like this I tend to use a Autorecord wishlist, as then I know I will catch them all.

The schedule for TV5 Europe on TiVo is almost completely wrong, with the exception of a handful of news bulletins.

TIVO / Tribune have messed up the time change - now even the news bulletins are an hour out!

Every single programme is now wrong.

TIVO has moved its dodgy schedule by an hour.

I suspect this is down to them having an old schedule, which they have input in something like GMT, but corrected for summer time, and then just repeated week after week. Now summer time has ended, the schedule is a hour out.

Can we as a minimum correct for the hour?

Firstly, no I didnt reaslise this. But what seems to contradict this is the fact that if I do a keyword search on Liza Minnelli I get one show. Yet she doesnt appear on the actors list, why would that be?

Hi Steve

The reason that you can't see Liza in the actors list is that not all actors are displayed in the Programme Details screen. TiVo actually has more information on the programme than is displayed.

If you have backdoors enabled and you press the Enter key on your remote whilst in the Programme Details screen you will see further information, including a longer list of actors.

Hope that answers your question.

Because they are different lists. An "Actor" Wishlist searches only the "Actor" database while a "Keyword" Wishlist will only search the 'Programme Name' and "Synopsis/Description".

Dont get me wrong I am no internet guru, apologies if my last posting appeared a little pompus.
Don't worry. We can all do that from time to time :)

This results programme (usually about 9pm till 930pm) follows a few hours after the main show. Every week since the second week, this has failed to record due to it "being already recorded 28 days earlier". I think it might be because the description dosen't show the date of the show. Every Results show is different!

This thread is definitely monitored on an unofficial basis, but if "our man in Tribune" is ill/away etc for any reason then it isn't.

Officially the only way to report errors is by telephoning TiVo CS at national rates, reading out the errors verbally for them to write down (and hope they write them down correctly), and then keeping your fingers crossed. This is highly unsatisfactory but that's the way it is at the moment.

Sorry to be a bit generic, but Playhouse Disney listings are always all over the place (I have Sky Digital - their listings and DigiGuide are correct)

Sure most of you are not bothered - but its autorecording stuff for my kids that they watch half of, then the tears come when it suddenly goes off mid programme.

Is there 2 different feeds of PD? Their times are always so exact as well, having short progs (i.e 1.19 - 1.28, 1.28 - 1.35, etc)

C'mon, think of the kids.....

Problem: Each week there's a different subject - so far 'M&S and Me' and 'The Sun and Me'. At the moment TiVo treats them as a separate series, so a new recording needs to be scheduled each week.

Project (a major new drama) on BBC 1 next weekend is pretty screwed. Tivo will tape Sunday's episode, the first part of Monday's - but not the second part. Unlike the normal problem (where tivo thinks part 2 is a repeat), this problem is down to Tribune believing that '999' is scheduled (!).
Keep an eye out if you're programming Tivo - I'll call CS when I get a chance, and they've got a week to fix it - it should get sorted (as if it doesn't, there ain't much point in reporting errors). If anyone from tribune would like to acknowledge this message and save me the time and expense of reporting over the phone, I'd be well chuffed ;)

There is no schedule information accompanying the program. Either as a result of this or some other factor, Tivo is unable to recognise that it's the same program as the initial showing on Friday and hence records them all. Normally, Tivo skips recording showings of the same program within 28 days.

Sky Sports 1 & Eurosport GB : Boxing - the description for many boxing showings on these channels has been the same for several weeks now... "Highlights of the meeting between Antonio Barrera vs Johnny Tapia in Las Vegas last night". This fight is actually happening tonight (2nd November).

I've lost track of the number of other Eurosport GB errors in the TiVo schedule (i.e. errors not due to the channel changing it's schedule) over the last few months.

I have to set TiVo to record the results episode every wekk as he misses it because of the 28 day rule. Can Tribune PLEASE add RESULTS to the programme title. They do it for ITV2's Extra Results programme!

Thanks

bobnick

11-02-2002, 06:21 PM

It doesn't need adding to the programme title, just the episode details. Indeed, the description is normally correct and explains that it is the results show.
Unfortunately, Tribune give the episode the same episode ID number (which is what Tivo uses) as the episode where people get to sing.

The new series of I'm Alan Partrige starts next week on BBC2 & Choice. Unfortunately, Tribune have buggered up the hidden codes so even though the episode descriptions are correct, Tivo will tape 3 copies a week if you have Season Passes.

If they can't get the flagship programmes on the BBC correct, what hope is there for Paramount / Reality TV etc?

Not a TiVo problem - but could confuss some TiVo users.

BBC-tv will be showing the UEFA Cup 2nd Round 2nd Leg match between Blackburn Rovers and Celtic - on Match of the Day Live.

But they have decided to show the first half on BBC2 and the second half on BBC1. So you'll need to set two recordings if you want the full match.

Alternatively - do a WISHLIST which will correctly add both halves to the TODO list.

The Guide data thinks that Horizons on UK History and Horizons on BBC2 are different programmes - they are the same programme.

(Horizons appears twice in the Search By Name screen, but without channel tags).

Presumably the 28 day rule won't work for the UK History episodes if you have a Wishlist.

You need to complain to the BBC, not here. We all know that 6.00-6.20 is too short but those are the times that the BBC publish so those are the times that TiVo has got to use.

Perhaps a bit late for this week but a season pass set for this show will fall foul of the "waking the dead" problem of recent. I set up an SP to find that only this Thursdays show was picked up (no clashes in evidence), Recording History had next weeks show as won't record due to the 28 day rule. Doing a "record this episode also" for next Thurs caused this weeks episode to go unticked meaning I had to manually record this episode as well. I guess you never wanted to hear the words "waking the dead" again, for this I apologise but it was the easiest way to explain it :D

There is one episode of Rugby Club every week. It is repeated a number of times within 48hrs of the first broadcast across the Sky Sports channels.

Tivo thinks that all showings are separate (isEpisode=False), so SPs and Wishlist do not work properly.

Incorrect TV Guide Data for Robot Wars:

Postcode: G12
Provider: Ariel
Channel Name: BBC2SCO
Channel Number: 46
Programme Name: Robot Wars: The Sixth Wars
Time/Date of airing: Fridays 18.00

Problem:

The TiVo guide says this is on at 18.45. This week it was actually on at 18.00 and looks to be the same next week, and presumably thereafter. This seems to be peculiar to BBC2 Scotland - I think that it is on at 18.45 in England.

A quick heads up about Fame Academy - the show that 'should' have been on Friday is being shown on Sunday; All well and good, but Tivo have called this show 'Fame Academy Live', so a regular BBC1 SP will not pick up this week's show - you have been warned!

Should be called NHL Ice Hockey, Tivo has it as NHL Hockey, hence it's not picked up by a season pass. The programme the next week is correct.

Digiguide has the correct information.

This almost caused great strife at home, as my wife's favourite team is playing in the game covered by the incorrect guide data.

The Sky Sports schedules (all 3 sports channels) for the morning & most of the afternoon of Sunday 17th November are completely wrong (wrong programmes at wrong times on wrong channels). The Sky EPG has them correct.

The TiVo Sky sports schedules recently have been so bad I'm having to double-check everything, and I've been lucky to miss only a few broadcasts.

My TiVo listing yesterday hadn't been updated to include it, but maybe it has been updated overnight? In any event, in a late change to advertised listings, Channel 4 is showing "The Autopsy" tonight, 23.45-00.20, details at www.channel4.com. Assuming of course that legal action doesn't prevent it taking place. I realise this is too late to include in the listing updates now, but it may be of interest to a few viewers to check their listings and/or manually set a recording.

Channel Number: 106
Programme Name: Malcolm in the Middle
Time/Date of airing: Sundays 19:00
Time/Date of re-run: Fridays 20:00

(This refers to the First Runs - the older daily repeats are ok)

This is a systemic problem that we often get across ALL series where episodes have a "part 1" and "part 2" with the same title and episode number - normally when a double-length episode is split into two normal-length ones after syndication or some other reason :(

The episode this time is "Company Picnic".
Part 1 is on Sun 1st Dec 19:00, re-run Fri 6th Dec 20:00. EP3513740049.
Part 2 is on Sun 8th Dec 19:00, re-run Fri 13th 20:00 - but it too is EP3513740049 :( It should be a different TmsID.

TiVoWeb is picking up the part numbers for each broadcast :D (this is something which the TiVo UI doesn't display, not even by pressing Enter, not even with Backdoors turned on!) and it knows which broadcasts are "1/2" and which are "2/2". So that part of the guide data is correct. But it seems that another part of the system always fails to allocate a different TmsID in these cases.

Is Tivo bothering to correct UK errors anymore? A problem with Have I Got News for You on Friday 29th, BBC1 was reported a week ago, but no fix has yet shown up on my machine.
Anyone from Tribune like to let us know when / if it's going to be fixed?

The programme has changed title. previously it was known just as Football.

Whilst this title is better, it does mean season passes and the like need to be changed.

Any chance of getting the subject of the biography moved up a bit? Currently all shows are entitled "Biography" with the persons name stored where the programme description resides.

thanks in advance.
