[deanm]

Eating Media Lunch

Shortland Street (Drama)
- weekdays at 7:00pm on TV2

(NB: my wife's request, not mine...) :cool:

Thanks

Moonlighting TV1 1pm weekdays. Genre Crime (I guess)

This is one of those ones where the episode name is listed as part of the Show Name, so not sure if it is fixable. Out of interest, have had the same problem in the past with Ed and Northern Exposure, which ran in the same time slot.

As usual, can catch them reliably with the wish lists.

[jaidev]

Done recent additions, effective next slice..

[SeanOffShotgun]

Peppa Pig
TV3 Weekdays 8:30am

[brian]

Genre - documentary - history (!)

Thanks
Brian

[MrGadget]

The Twilight Zone

SciFi

[STu]

Mitre 10 Dream Home
TV2, Monday, 7:30pm
Living, Home and Garden

[STu]

"Lost" on Wednesday is flagged as a series but probably due to the episode name being included in the title, it's a new series each week making the season pass pretty useless.
What I normally do in these situations is to create a Title wishlist of "LOST*" but that then picks up all sorts of other stuff like "Lost Civilizations"
Anyone got any ideas?

[deanm]

Try the Manual Record module for tivoweb.. link is at the bottom of my sig.

[STu]

Thanks Dean. Let's hope TVNZ don't mess with the time of the show and that will be a good option for me.

A pity there is not way to limit Wish Lists to a specific channel which would have been an ideal option.

[Shane]

Ask This Old House

Hi Jaidev, maybe a little OT but what happened to the idea of getting a show put in to stop the nagging messages briefly mentioned in this thread http://forums.oztivo.net/showthread.php?t=418 ?

Just follow the instructions at the bottom of that thread, and your tivo will stop nagging you.

There seems to be a wktivoguide issue/bug with the nonag channel identification, I'll look into it after a few other things..

Battlestar Galactica

Muwahaha.. Sorry, no can do. There's something about TV3 news which I can't pin down. But, I just don't feel I get the full picture with 3 news.

Change horoz res back from 720 to 544 then? :p

BTW, did you resolve the flicker with 720 setting discussed elsewhere?

Both my tivos are still on 544x576.

Nope, but pinned it down to the TiVo not liking the video output from the Saturn analogue boxes. I suspect I'll be able to switch one of them to 720x576 once I get Saturn Digital.

[SeanOffShotgun]

Green Wing
Comedy.

Should Season Passes distinguish between Top Gear on Prime, and Top Gear on BBC World (Different series)??

I don't about "should", but that's what happens - or at least that's what happens for me with the season passes I have set up.

[Wanted]

Doesn't it go by program AND channel? I may be wrong.

[STu]

Speaking of identifying a series, has anyone notic ed that the identification of a series seems to be case sensitive.
For example, 'ER' and 'Er' are two different series.
Wives are not too understanding about how brilliant TiVo is when ER doesn't record with a searson pass because there was a lower case 'r' in the title.

[zollymonsta]

The Inspectors

Real Life
Documentary

Sorry I'm at the mercy of guide data creators... Setup a season pass for 'Er'

[SeanOffShotgun]

Or setup a wishlist and get eR, er, ER and Er whenever it's on, on whatever channel, you only spell it one way with a wishlist.

I'm a wishlist freak, everything I record gets done with a wishlist.
Even got wishlists for actors - Spacey, Depp, Cusack, etc.
These all work pretty well.

[SeanOffShotgun]
