There are time errors and a big gap on BBC-HD EPG from just after midnight.

But hang on - its only wrong on the Sky+ EPG. TiVo is correct.

Can it be that Sky has EPG problems too - surely not?

No such problems here, Richard. Sorry!

Three days should be enough to get the correct data downloaded

Just checked and it seems that nothing about Strictly for tomorrow appears on BBC.

Also it seems like there are other gaps in the guide for other channels all about the 18:30 to 20:00 times.

Clearly not an isolated problem http://community.virginmedia.com/t5...ide-were-all-TBA-last-night/m-p/813765#M26380

I have tried the manual connection and download but still missing chunks of EPG

I have now but it isn't relevant as my problem is the missing chunks of EPG across more than BBC channels and some of it is for today EG nothing showing for Strictly but the rest of tonights schedule on BBC1 OK.

I will check again tomorrow after another download

Now OK resorted to clear & delete programme info and new download of EPG.
Now fully populated.

Just after midnight on the day the clocks change .... surely we weren't about to resurrect that old faithful "can TiVo handle the clocks changing" thread again!

No - my main point is really:
TiVo is new and has its problems.
But Sky is old and has the same problems.

Sky's latest HD1TB update seems to be causing problems for lot of viewers.

Find a series link that doesn't work on TiVo - and I'll find one on Sky that doesn't work.

Find a guide error on TiVo - I'll find one on Sky.

Both are very good and you'll never get then 100%.

But is annoys me why people say "Sky can do it - why can't TiVo?"
