SPECIAL THREAD: Programme/Listing Errors (no discussion)

Oh - this is on both my Freeview TiVo and my VirginMedia TiVo.

 

I have two season passes producing strange results:

Blood & Guts: A History of Surgery BBC4
The season pass has a title of "Ainme Eile" & also includes episodes of "Fossil Detectives" in its programmes to record

Masterchef: The Professionals BBC2
The season pass has a title of "Primetime Extra" and also includes episodes of "What Are You Like?" & "The Wrong Door" & "Takin' over the Asylum" in its programmes to record

without having to manually space everything out?)[/SIZE]

But if I follow the link to "Before I Call You In" it belongs to a series called "The Last Word Monologues" which also contains the 10 episodes above.

From the messages higher up the thread, I take it that this is an error in the downloaded program guide data, rather than a corruption on my TiVo? Any idea when this might be fixed?

I have the same problem above with Masterchef: the Professionals (on Virgin Media).

Can't find it in a programme search, but when I locate it in the guide, and choose a season pass, it says it will also record 'What are you like?', 'ATL Summer Live' and 'Thames Shipwreck' (or something - it's cut off).

 

Thanks OzSat for that info, and thanks to the busy beavers at TMS.

 

Thanks for your help.

Do you know if these changes will affect the Season Passes that have already been set?

 

I take it that the new trainee has now received more training at you know where.

 

Well, if it's the beginning of the end for TiVo in the UK - by wearing us all down with bad guide data - the new trainee has got off to a flyer!!!

 

Callsign: FIVE
Programme Name: Neighbours
Date/Time: Mon-Fri, 13:45 starting from September 8th
Nature of Problem: Wrong episode synopsis

This is a weird one. While the OAD is correct, the programme synopsis is the same, hence only the first ep with this synopsis (Sept 8) will record.

This is an episode from last year.

There is, of course, still time to get it fixed but I only mention it now as I am going away later this week and, while I do normally delete the SP for this show (and Home & Away) while I'm away, I just thought this error was worth pointing out for those who still might want the show recording.

 

Just noticed season pass for EastEnders beginning 8th Sept not working. Will only record Monday's (8th) as all episodes from then on have the same ID!!!!!

Geoff.

 

moved to channel line up errors

 

Callsign: ITV4
Programme Name: Cycling
Date/Time: Sun 07th September-Fri 12th September, 20:00
Nature of Problem: Wrong episode description

This is highlights of the days action in the Tour of Britain cycling race, but the program description for each day is 'Highlights from the opening day of the Tour of Britain' so Tivo is ignoring all episode but the first.

 

Cycling now sorted out with the correct details
Thanks

 

Sky Sports (all channels)

The Rugby Club

All showings showing OAD of 24/01/2008

This is causing season pass to fail to record.

 

BBC1 - Analogue and Sky

Harry and Paul at 9pm on 19th September is not being picked up by current season pass.
