I just noticed I have no guide data on either of my 2 TiVo's after 5th Feb. Daily calls say they succeeded with data to 12th Feb. Anyone else have this issue?

yes, same issue here. just ran daily call, no data.
Yes, same. Just made a daily call, it succeeded but no schedule data.
Ditto - guide data ends today :(
Someone will need to PM wibble, likely a problem on the server
I have pm'ed Wibble.
Hopefully Wibble can help out soon (please).
For now, a workaround that I set up last year is still available if anyone is really desperate
[edited: see latest post]
It's only does 17 of the freeview channels (extendible, if you can use a unix editor), and even then some channels do not show up immediately for me for some unknown reason - but it may be worth a try. Good luck.
Hi, downloaded the quickfix, but found an error in the readme, has wget ftp://130.216.208.118/mnas002/tivo/t...vguide-001.tgz
- should be file tvguide-v001.tgz.
On running, it gets the freeview.xml fine (1.9mb), but then has error:
mv: /hack/tvguide/freeview.xml: No such file or directory
Formatting tivo data file for TV1 ...
./generate-tivoEPG-and-load.sh: awk: command not found
Loading tivo data file for TV1 ...
adding channels
Creating station list
adding programs
./generate-tivoEPG-and-load.sh: expr: command not found
Formatting tivo data file for TV1 ...
./generate-tivoEPG-and-load.sh: awk: command not found
any ideas?
I think I've fixed the errors regarding 'mv' and README.
The awk and expr tools should be in /devbin/ however I've now bundled them in the *.tgz file (in case they cannot be found).
So try blowing it away ('rm -r /hack/tvguide') and starting afresh.
Let me know of any more issues.
yep, that's fixed it. thanks! (one more small tweak - , tvguide-v001.tgz for the tar command too)
Its running now, getting the errtmbackgroundholdoff, but that's normal for tvload.tcl.
(for others that get this, just wait and it should continue).
Not sure if I mentioned, but I can pull ALL the sky guide data (all channels) from my sat card in my pc. Will get around to this
at some stage, so we can load all data if needed. Well it used to work anyway.
Cheers,
Divxmaster
Oops, fixed the tar command in the README, tar ;-)
Yeah, I had quite a few of those holdoffs, but it seemed to get through everything OK (except there was no data for Sommet in the freeview file).
I found that the TV2 data loaded instantly, but it took a few hours before the TV1/3 showed up in the guide, so YMMV.
Great to have a backup source for all the Sky data if we get desperate. I could mod these scripts if needed.
In case others are interested, instructions on how to download/install the scripts on your TiVo are available here (for now):
[edited: see latest post]
Yes I noticed that delay with data showing up in the guide. It didn't do this when we ran tvload on our tivo implementation. Some incompatibility I guess but it gets there.
I'll see if I can scrape up some sky data this weekend.

Divxmaster
Hi mpnash,
I've created all the sky data in a .xml file, any chance I can send to it you and you may be
able to get your script to convert it? Its similar to what you use in freeview.xml, with a few
differences. I don't seem to be able to attach a file here.
Cheers,
Divxmaster
I've PMd you my address. Will try and have a look today or tonight.
I've nearly got the workaround going for sky and freeview data. It seems that the data load up OK and are visible on the guide.
However, one major issue is that this method (using 'TVLoad.tcl LoadData FILE' and 'TVLoad.tcl TriggerDBGCIndex') does not seem to allow programmes to be detected by wishlists or SPs. So my To Do List is empty, and I have no idea how to fix that. Very inconvenient :-(
Thanks for the workaround, loaded most of the guide data Ok, other than the long list of errholdoffs...Quote:

I've updated the parse/load scripts to deal with Sky data (being supplied by divxmaster, thx!) and freeviewnz data.
Latest instructions:
[edited - see latest post]
In this version, the default is to load all Sky data, and then all freeviewnz data.
(A few channels, such a Prime, are presently missing in the Sky data).
Add a comment in the wrapper script if you only need one data source.
Issues:
- wishlists now work, but Season Passes do not :-(
- all episodes for a show appear the same within a week - no biggie.
- not particularly efficient, but at least the trusty Series1 gets there.
EPG load script updates:
- now all Sky channels are loaded (incl Movie channels)
- now the wrapper script only loads Sky data by default (option to switch to freeview is available)
- now scripts and EPG source files all stored on drivehq (thanks divxmaster!)
- EPG are presently updated at 8.30pm on Monday and Friday - this may get changed to daily.
- latest instructions here:

Hi Guys, sorry for the very late reply. I got swamped at work and missed the emails.
The database got corrupted, hence no new data.
I have fixed it now and today's slice should be good when it's generated.
Hi, My Tivo only seems to have data for a couple of channels...TV2, 3 and a couple of others. I didn't run any of the workarounds, just forced a phone call last night ( after Wibble's slice) Is there anything else I should do to get it to reload the guide data ?
thanks for any help
David
Thanks all for sorting this out. I seem to have all Sky and Freeview channels. Just cannot use the thumbs at the moment for new programmes.
Now in my 16th year with TiVo so would be very sorry to see it go.
:)
Hi - forced a couple of calls - doesn't look like any update has come through. Is there anything else that I should be doing? Appreciate all the help here and am able and keen to assist if you need another set of hands.
Same here, sorta glad its not just me:-).Quote:

My guide data runs out tonight (Sunday 15th), and I cannot log on to the ftp site for an interim downloadQuote:

Actually, just forced a Phone Call - looks like most data is there, except for TV1, Prime and Face TV. Weird that TV1+1 is ok though.
Cheers
Divxmaster maintains the FTP site, and took it offline after Wibble fixed the emulator (thanks, BTW!).Quote:

argh, emulator seems to be down again.
I have reopened our system, latest sky data uploaded today. Should work fine.

Thanks for opening the ftp again.Quote:

Yes, working on it.
The data should have shown up on saturday night.
Hi Wibble and Team,
Thanks heaps for sorting this out.
My PC is now providing all the TiVo guide data up to Wibbles Emulator,
- is data missing on any channels anybody uses?
I have populated all the channels I use.
Cheers,
Divxmaster
A big thanks for sorting the guide data... fyi, sky arts channel is still no go
All my channels are ok. Thanks.
