Issue with tonight's (6/2/2010) Mythbusters episode

[jbernardis]

My season pass, for some reason, is not picking up tonight's episode of Mythbusters even though, from the title, I think it's a new episode. There was no reason given in the recording history. I caught it and was able to put in a manual recording, but just wanted others to know.

Next week's episode is scheduled to record just fine. I've had this season pass active on my Tivo for over a year, so I know there's no issue with it..

Thanks for the info. I have a wishlist recording for it and even that doesn't have it scheduled.

My TiVo has not picked up this episode, when it seems that clearly it is new tonight. I've done a web request to record it.

Mine missed it too, no reason in the ToDo List. What's the name of the episode, Fireball Stun Gun?

My Tivo Missed it also! WTH is goin on?

Missed it too. I see it listed at Amazon for download ($1.99), but the link is broken. I imagine they'll get it fixed soon so at least we can see it. I don't see a repeat showing in the next two weeks in my TiVo Guide.

Mine didn't record it too so I went though the TiVo search and added it to my wishlist hopefully it will record it when it repeats. I am not mad about it cuz I am behind by 23 episodes.

Link is working. I'm downloading it now.

I forced a recording, and looking at it it appears the guide data was partially missing. (In the extended info page ~75% of the fields you normally see were missing; including the original air date field).

And I know TiVo has various problems dealing with shows with partial (or different issues with fully generic) guide data.

Ugh. Thanks for pointing this out. I missed the recording (and this message) and see there isn't a repeat of the episode scheduled (yet).

Thanks Tribune for crappy guide data :P

Hmm, I thought when I checked the info I did see an OAD listed. I did force a recording after seeing this thread though. Does anybody have a contact at Tivo to tell about this? It'd be too hard to explain (and likely even MORE fruitless) to the call center people..
(oh there needs to be a way to officially report bugs!!)

My guide data only shows a rerun of "Top 25 Moments" playing at both 4 and 5 pm. I wonder if one of them is really the Fireball Stun Gun episode? What time is it playing in your guide changk?

I've got it set for 6 pm. I believe Comcast here is using a dedicated Pacific feed for Discovery, so it should be 6 pm on both the east and west coasts.

Then again, the Discovery daily schedule here says it airs at 9 pm, both Eastern and Pacific. Paper Crossbow airs at 6. Hopefully the schedule settles down as we get closer to the 27th.

It was a two hour episode.

Well that's weird... It's there now. Got it. Thanks for the heads up. I would have missed it.
