Season Pass problem - "unticked"

Do the upcoming shows break the 28-day rule? e.g. Are they repeats of episodes that have already been recorded at some point within the last 28 days?

 

I wonder if they accidently changed the TMSID for the show, thereby breaking an existing SP? Just a thought

 

My parents noticed the same happening on their tivo, another show was effected too but I can't remember the name of it. When I was looking into it yesterday, it seems that the 'original air date' for each episode was totally wrong, claiming that each episode was first aired on 24/11/08 or something like that.
The other show was stating an first air date of 11/12/08, which considering its a daily show seems pretty impossible.

I assumed this is down to faulty guide data from tivo?

 

TMSID is the unique magic number assigned by Tribune/Tivo to indicate that programmes all belong to the same series.
Sometimes a glitch causes a long running programme to be assigned a new number, at which point your existing season pass for that programme stops showing any new episodes even though the listings show a programme with the same name at the right time.

It is very frustrating as you often only realise after you've missed an expected episode.

 

That is correct and upcoming episodes will also show episodes on other channels. They will only get a double tick if they match your season pass criteria which they won't if the TMSID is wrong/changed. Only a second season pass being setup will solve your problem.

The TMSID's for Eggheads and Eggheads-celebrity edition are different, just checked

 

double tick indicates selected to record by a season pass or a wish list. Single tick is when a programme is selected to record from live TV or record by time or channel

 

Yeah. Basically a single tick is any type of manually-selected recording.

 

Thanks Carl even I wondered what I meant

 

Perhaps you can try deleting the season pass for Eggheads and then enter a new season pass for the show.

 

Yes. That's the TMSID problem as stated earlier in the thread. Best idea is to post to the Errors Thread and call Tivo CS about it. This should get it fixed; or not

 

Not sure if you've tried already, but have you checked the recording history?

You can look at the recording history in the To Do List and go right on any of the items it says it hasn't recorded. It should say why it didn't record it.

 

That will only apply if the programme was originally set to record and something else took precedence, not if the season pass never picked it up in the first place.

 

May be relevant but over past few days out Tivo has failed to record most/all season pass-ed programs on BBC1 ... didn't do Merlin on Saturday, my wife just informed me it did record Doctors for her today and wasn't going to record Sarah Jane adventures for my son as well. Other channels seem ok. Also didn't record Outnumbered on Saturday but not certain if I'd set an SP for that.

 

and todays Daily Politics on BBC2 was missed by my season pass

 

No problems here with either Merlin or TSJA. Both SPs are FR&R though. No reason to be FRO (on BBC1 anyway.)
