Austar channel number change

[Donaldovitch]

Austar have changed their channel numbers.
At the moment the old channel numbrs on my "to be recorded" screen do not report either the old or new nimbers
E.G hallmark was 124 and is now 116.
Neither number is shown when browsing by channel.

Do i need to do anything to correct this?

Very very satified TiVo user

If you can provide a list of all the changes, showing the old and new channels as well as any deletions or new channels we can update the headends.

Peter.

[Donaldovitch]

Many thanks for your reply.
Austar have changed numbers across Australia so TiVo changes will presumably be applicable to many users.
The list of old and new channel numbers and the their names is listed at

http://www.austar.com.au/content_display.asp?web_page_id=782&web_page_content_area_id=7

This is a .pdf document too big to post here.

Is info OK in this form or shall I transcribe it?

Many thanks for your assistance.

regards

Donaldovitch.

[Donaldovitch]

Attach a list of changed and new Austar channel numbers, transcribed from the website.
Hope this is of use.
many thanks

I this an issue? Or will TiVO show that a changes had happened and the channels will be updated?

I've redone guided setup but I don't think this will fix it. Is there anything that I can do to edit my channels manually or do I wait?

I had a look/go at http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/view/Guidedata/ChangeChannelNumber but I think this will cause more grief for me when the headend changes. So I'll just leave it alone I think!

Thanks.

[daggo]

There must be more then 2 Austurd users!!

So do I wait or do I fix it myself? The WAF is going down the tubes.

[petestrash]

To make life easier for us and get the changes done quicker for you I asked.


If you can provide a list of all the changes, showing the old and new channels as well as any deletions or new channels we can update the headends.

We need to know the changes to fix the problems you are having. just providing a list of all channels for me to sort though is not very helpful, and not what I asked for.

I am currently in Europe and the Hotels here charge an arm and both legs for internet access, so you will pardon me if I didn't jump in quick enough for you.

Austar Digital should be ok now if you do a daily call.

If you have Analog please advise of the changes as required.

If you have Digital and it still isn't right, let me know which channels and which state you are in.

Peter.

PS it may be a few days before I have internet again...

[troy]

Trust the list i sent with new and changed Austar channel numbers is what you require.
It's the same information as on the Austar site but transcribed to reduce the file size.
Please advise if i can assist further.
I am also away from home, and will confirm all changes to digital channels are OK on my return next Tuesday.
Now realise that I should have advised that i am on digital austar and that i am in Southern NSW (Batemans Bay).
Learning.
Many thanks for your help.
Very much appreciated

Have a great trip

Not shirty at you Pete. If I could be able to make the required changes for the headend I'd just do it. I didn't know you were in Euorpe and just that I have seen others ask about channel change details and they get an answer, so was just wonder what was happening. No slight intended.

The list Donaldovitch had made does match the info you asked for.
OLD NUMBER TITLE NEW NUMBER
111 FOX CLASSICS 112
If it needed to be in a different format/style/file then please tell us where to look so that the info can be formatted as needed.

[Darren King]

It's a good thing the Internet! Allows you to be anywhere and still help out :)

I remember being heavily jet lagged in the USA earlier this year answering posts and creating a couple of PAL tuner headend slices for places that were not in the database yet.

[petestrash]

Ok Daggo,

Can you confirm your channels are now correct after a daily call.

If not, what state your in and whether you use digital or analog.

Peter.

[daggo]

No they are still not showing.

I am in NSW, and use digital (like the old services wasn't :p ).

Thanks.

[petestrash]

Ok,

I'm looking into it.

Peter

Is this correct?

Peter.

[star]

Hi there. Thanks for making an effort to help us out with this problem. I am in Queensland on Austar and I am having the same issue. Those channel numbers below do look correct. However, my Tivo is still not updating to the new numbers.. I have made multiple daily calls etc.

Do you know what needs to be done to make it pick up the changes? I thought of clearing all guide data but I don't know if that will help :confused:

Thanks,
Star

[petestrash]

Those channel numbers below do look correct. However, my Tivo is still not updating to the new numbers.. I have made multiple daily calls etc.

Have you checked in 'channels you recieve' whether the new channels are listed ?

You will need to manually deselect the old ones and re-select the new ones.

Peter.

[petestrash]

If anyone is still having issues, and have checked for the new channels in 'channels you recieve', please send me an email.

Please include:
Your TiVo ID
Your State
Analog or Digital Austar
Which channels are not correct.

Thanks,

Peter.

[star]

Thanks very much for your help Peter. It is working well now :D

[daggo]

Well I am not working but I think I got a different fault :confused: When I do a daily call it gets to 1% then fails preparing data. I'll do some more invetigations and start a new topic.

No guided setup fails at the indexing stage. I don't know what's happen now...

[petestrash]

Daggo,

Are you using the new image just was just released recently?

Peter.

[petestrash]

Donaldovitch,

Is Austar now ok for you also?

Peter.

[daggo]

No mate. V1.3. That's what has me highly confused. Working one day and not the next. Still investigating.

[Donaldovitch]

Have just got home after a longer than expected trip with no access to tivo forum.
My TiVo still has the OLD channel numbers and info for changed and new channels as listed in my attachment of 2nd October.
Would really appreciate help on what I should do.
Should I do a guided setup again?

[Donaldovitch]

Have just realised how much of a newbie I am!
This is my firsy experience of forums, and did not realise that they came in pages!
Therefore missed the last few exchanges re "Channels received".
Cannot now work on it until tomorrow, but will advise how I go ASAP.
many thanks
Donaldovitch

[Donaldovitch]

Success!!
All chanels lined up and working.
I also have -
channel:102 abcnsw
and
channel;104 sbsnsw.
Many thanks for your help Peter.
