I only checked the ones that I reported I'm afraid! But these were fixed (see my post the other day for the problem):

What the Papers Say
Film 2002 with Jonathan Ross
The X-Files
I'm Alan Partridge
The DVD collection
Classic Coronation Street
Liquid News
Frank Skinner Show
The State We're In

Now please can we get TV5 fixed?

The schedules have been an hour out since the clocks changed. Tribune has put effort into getting the schedules right, but there's no point as they remain an hour out of sync!

- Problem encountered All broadcasts picked up by normal SP.

Can't say for certain that this is a fault*, but I would assume (as is the norm) that this is a 2-parter with each part shown twice.

* A comment on the IMDB entry suggests that the running time for this show (minus ads) is "about 4.5 hours".

Provider BSkyB UK
Channel Name Channel 4 (C4)
Channel number 104
Programme Name: World Rally
Time Fri 15/11 7.30pm

Problem:
This is the first day coverage of the Rally GB, so the episode title should be "Great Britain: 15 November" as the next two days shows are listed as "Great Britain: 16 November" and "Great Britain: 17 November" respectively.

Tivo thinks this is a repeat of Friday 15/11 at 3.35am, that broadcast is likely a repeat of World Rally "9 November". I think the listings are slightly wrong from the source.

The Fri 15/11 7.30pm show does need to have a unique episode name though so an SP picks it up.

Thanks.

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.

You can set padding on your recording to get the whole programme.

Programme Name: Postcards from Ellen MacArthur
Time/Date of airing: All times

This is a run of 5 minute shows with, i believe 5 or 6 per week, a season pass will only catch the first 5 min show. ALL other shows (repeats or otherwise) in the series are ignored. It is repeated several times per week and has an omnibus episode with all the weeks showings (which runs for 30 mins and is being picked up OK). Main complaint is that I cannot get the 5 min shows as they are initially broadcast.

Provider: The lot I guess
Channel Name: ITV1 - Carlton in particular
Channel Number: can't remember
Programme Name: Wire In The Blood
Time/Date of airing: Thursday 14th and 21st November at 9pm

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

thanks

Problem: all episodes are set as same and as "special" not "series". Tivo has picked one episode from 24th (!) to record and thus will record no others.

pmk · 11-13-2002, 12:43 PM

Faking It C4 21:00 tonight (Wednesday) is not being picked up by the season pass which has worked fine for the past 5 weeks or so. Anyone know why? I have set a manual recording.

I am guessing its a guide data problem - would have been very annoying if I did not notice, I can't throw away my TV guide yet and neither stop looking at it for 15 mins a day checking TiVo is doing what it should be

“No Information available” why oh why do we have this program with no information available when all non Tivo listings manage to list the contents of the program correctly week after week.

Many programs on Tivo for the Extreme channel, either have the wrong listings or no information. Its just not good enough!!!!

TiVo still isn't picking up the 7.30pm episode on Friday and there are only 2 days left.

Harry Hill's TV Burp on next week (ITV1) has exactly the same information and OAD as this week's, so a SP won't pick it up.

Programme Name: I'm Alan Partridge.

This programme is shown on BBC2, BBC2SCD, BBC2WD, BBC2NID on Mondays and then it is re-run on BBCCHOI on Tues and Thurs of the same week.

Problem 1: episodes on BBC choice don't match and are set as IsEpisode false.
Tue 19th Nov 23:00 and Thu 21st Nov 21:30 should be EP3085690009 to match the Mon 18th Nov 2002 First Run.

This programme is shown on BBC on Fridays at 18:45 and then re-run on BBC Choice immediately (Fridays 19:30). There is 1 new episode each week which has its FR on the BBC2 showing.

Problem 1: the series on BBC Choice has a different title - it has "Robot Wars" with episodes all called "The Sixth Wars". That is wrong, The Sixth Wars is part of the series title. It's also wrong because every week it thinks that the same episode is being broadcast.

Problem 2: the broadcasts on BBC 2 have the same description every week and are not set as Episodes. Please can they be set as Episodes.

Finally a quick thankyou for the data for Big Brother's Little Brother, Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother Live. Looks good from here.

Sky are currently transmitting a recent remade version of South Pacific starring Harry Conic Junior.

This is shown in Tivo's channel data as the original (1958?) version of the film with Mitzi Gaynor

These are saying (in the TiVo guide) that they are being shown at 12pm and 6pm, where in fact they are showing at 11pm and 5pm. TiVo is therefore missing all of the episodes of it, which is more than a little annoying...

Might be a bit late for this, but I hope it can be changed:

Service: BSKYB UK
Channel: Sky Sports 3
Channel number: 403
Time/date of airing: Sunday 17 November from 7pm till close
Problem:

There has been a schedule change!

Old schedule:
7pm Auto Racing: "CART Mexico Grand Premio"
9pm Rugby Union Update: "Harlequins vs. Wasps"
11.00pm ITU Triathlon
0.00am CLOSE

NEW schedule:
7pm Rugby Union Update: "Harlequins vs. Wasps"
9pm Auto Racing: "CART Mexico Grand Premio"
11.30pm ITU Triathlon
0.30am CLOSE

The fact the Grand Premio Mexico is now at 9pm has caused a similar flip flop on Sky Sports 2 later that night.

Service: BSKYB UK
Channel: Sky Sports 2
Channel number: 402
Time/date of airing: Sunday 17 November from 11.30pm - 3.30am

NEW schedule:
11.30pm Rugby Union Update: "Harlequins vs. Wasps"
1.30am Auto Racing: "CART Mexico Grand Premio"
3.30am Schedule continues as listed

It's the final race of the season and the final race under the "FedEx Championship Series" banner so I'd like to get TiVo to capture this one.

Channel Name: Sky Sports 1/2/3

Time/Date of airing: Thur/Fri

I've posted this before but not fixed, so try again...

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.

I can't see why this is such a problem - please sort it out!

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.

bobnick · 11-16-2002, 05:26 PM

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.
