why do all the descriptions have a * at the end of them?

That indicates Rovi as the source of the new program data.

I'm not going to bother reporting it, since I don't really care, to be perfectly honest.

Yeah, since terrorist-training-TV is not being resurrected any time soon

I really miss AJA news.

Temporarily off topic, but follow the money. Some of their "correspondents" have been linked to terror groups, and a significant portion of the network's funding comes from the same state-supported bureaucracies in the Middle East that have directly supported terror groups. So, yeah, it comes across as an authentic looking and sounding source. But follow the money. And I know that this is not got to change some minds, so we'll leave it at that.

Ever since Rovi guide data, my Tivo onepass for O'Reilly factor is recording both the first airing at 8:00 pm and then also the re-airing at 11:00 pm.

Same here, but I had occurrences of that very issue back in July, before Rovi. I reported it back then and it was fixed. It may be unrelated to the Rovi data, but I reported it again yesterday.

In the mean time I just manually deleted all the 11:00 occurences for the next two weeks.

I think this issue has existed for a long time.

The duplicate recordings of O'Reilly (8PM ET & 11PM ET) were happening to me prior to the Rovi conversion. So additional factors may be in play.

Not much of a deal for me as, since late June, once a week I just run down the To Do list and hit clear on all 11PM O'Reilly entries.

Well, well, well.

The only thing I remembered wrong about this is that I first saw it in May, not June as I misremembered in my previous post. And I've been seeing it right on through the Rovi conversion with no change. So even though it's not a big deal for me, it seems plausible now that it may not be connected to Rovi data.

Finally, if they cannot get the guide updated correctly daily, they need to change the software to connect more often.

What?

 

[RoamioJeff]

Really easy to understand. If Rovi can't push out accurate data sooner, then they need to program the TiVo DVR's to connect to the service daily to download newer listings. That way, the DVR's will get any corrected listings within 24 hours.

Not following your the logic.

My TiVo connects every 24 hours. If "accurate data" is not updated on the servers any sooner than every 24 hours, reconnecting more frequently isn't going to make a difference.

I see the same error on Dish's guide too

Would that not tend to suggest the issue is with History, and not TiVo or the cable provider?
