Duplicate channels

Hi List (Peter),

I've found that some of the channels listed in the 'HiGuide' are duplicated. 7Two, Go and 7 Mate. I wonder if this is the reason why two programs didn't record as expected.

Thanks,

John

Check on the TiVo itself in channels you recieve that the correct channels are selected.

Peter,

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be checking. The list of channels in 'Channels' shows a number of apparent duplications.

What is happening is the Tivo isn't recording the TV show that its been asked to record. This seems to happen when the show is anywhere other than ABC or SBS although that's a feeling rather than anything scientific.

It certainly has trouble with 7 two and 7 mate.

The Tivo is changing channels now quite happily, so its not that. I can only presume its got something to do with the Tivo not being mapped to the channel list that the STB is using.

Thanks for any insight you can offer.

John

I checked the channels that the STB was receiving and their numbers. Then I checked the Tivo's channelmap list. I found that some of the duplicate channels on the Tivo were mapped incorrectly so I changed them. They were:

Applying change for Ten-NSW 10 (Was 5) object 2274/41
Applying change for One-NSW 12 (Was 1) object 2274/37
Applying change for Digital4 40 (Was 4) object 2274/56
Applying change for 7TWO-NSW 72 (Was 62) object 2274/65
Applying change for 7mate 73 (Was 63) object 2274/66
Applying change for 7TWO-NSW 72 (Was 62) object 2274/65
Applying change for 7mate 73 (Was 63) object 2274/66
Applying change for GEM-NSW 90 (Was 80) object 2274/69
Applying change for GO 99 (Was 80) object 2274/70
Applying change for GO 99 (Was 80) object 2274/70
Applying change for GEM-NSW 90 (Was 80) object 2274/69
Applying change for GO 99 (Was 80) object 2274/70
All channel changes applied

I hope that'll solve my problems; we'll see.

My next query is; how do I delete channels on the Tivo that the STB isn't receiving i.e. PrimeN, PrimeS, NBN etc.?

TIA for any advice.

John

This covers most of the channel allocations for all areas of NSW, obviously you will not be able to receive all of these channel in your area. You just need to de-select the channels you do not receive (and any duplicates) from the channels received list on the TiVo.

Peter.

ok thanks Peter for your help.
