Check your "24" Season Pass!!!

both episodes appear in my to do list.

 

Both appear in my to do list (OTA HD).

 

Well, when did you set it up? Did you, say, set it up back when only old reruns were listed, on Spike or WGN or whatnot?

If you set up a season pass on channel A, then new episodes begin on Channel B, you WILL NOT GET THEM. That's not a bug, that's a feature.

Same thing going on with my SD Tivo , it keeps telling someone has changed the SP so it wont record , ( CSI, Law & Order, Cold Case , Without a Trace, Numbers ) to name a few.

 

That is NOT a feature. That is a mistake. If you create a season pass, it should record on ANY channel it comes on. Now, on the DirecT V DVRs, it doesn't work very well, but I have never had a problem on my TiVos.

I wish I had a solution for you, though.

There is a similar thread you may want to peek at to give you some help ...

It is a feature. If you want to record all new shows from all channels, then set up a wishlist instead of a season pass and it will do just that.

 

Whenever I have asked for a season pass on any show on my TiVo, it records it on any channel it comes on. ... Which is why my reply states that something must be wrong if Ozam's TiVo isn't doing that.

 

A season pass is channel-specific, an (auto-record) wishlist will record from all channels.

 

Same problem here on an HR10-250. We have 25-30 season passes set up, including the local nightly news. They have worked reliably for 2+ years. Suddenly the box is reporting no upcoming episodes for almost all of the passes, with the same message about "Someone changed the Season Pass." This is a mix of DirecTV and OTA progams.

I also notice when I went into Pick Programs to Record, Search by Title, that it seems like 95% of the programs are missing. For example, when I start with the letter 'D', it finds exactly four upcoming programs. It's not that the guide data is missing; I went out four days on "Guide" and it seems to be complete. It doesn't look like most programs are indexing. Very strange.

Edit: We've been on 6.3b for a week or so.

Edit 2: There is already a long thread about this: "Season Pass Problem"

 

24 isn't even in my search list ! F*ing D*

 

I don't think so.

 

Go into your TDL where it says "won't record."

Right click. Select "more recording options." Select "record this episode also."

Let me know if that works.

 

I've had this kind of thing happen. Assuming your unit has been on for more than a few days, it's a corrupted program list. Clear & Delete will fix it.

 

Well, it might appear that way, but it is as designed. On purpose, and not a mistake. IOW, there are some minor limitations to the Tivo algorithm that are very likely either insurmountable (can be done but not without causing worse problems) or there for a very good reason.

Sometimes program suppliers make subtle or even invisible metadata changes to program names or info between seasons that will preclude an older SP recording newer eps. Veterans of Tivo know that the best course of action is to kill all SPs when a program's season is over and create new ones when the new season begins. You don't have to do that, but if you dont you run the risk of exactly this kind of problem on occasion.

 

Now I'm confused. Does season-pass record on a single channel or not?. I am looking at my 24 season pass and when I choose "view upcoming episodes" it shows all shows for 24 on any channel they air on. When I created the season pass I set it to record only first-runs and created it for the channel that carries the show (Fox channel 6, San Diego).

Am I going to get a bunch of reruns recorded also?

 

Ignore what Cmmsh wrote because he's incorrect.

1. Season Passes are channel specific.

2. WishLists are NOT channel specific.

3. View Upcoming Episodes is NOT channel specific.

 

I second what SrLANGuy has said. Season passes are CHANNEL SPECIFIC ONLY!!! I don't use wishlists so I can't say if they're channel specific or not. You can, however, sell all instances of a show for every channel it's scheduled to be aired on when you select "View upcoming episodes."

 

When you view all episodes, you are viewing ALL episodes, on all channels, all seasons, new ones, repeats, etc.

There should only be check marks by the ones the TiVo is actually going to record going by the paramaters of the Season Pass you set, channel, new or repeat, 28 day rule, etc.

I had a similar problem with all my SP on KTVU (Fox) which recently had the ATSC channel problem. I think that must have confused TiVo. So, I removed all my KTVU SPs and recreated them and that seemed to solve this problem.
