Schedule for TV1

The schedule available for TV1 has large gaps in each days listing - tis appears to be programmes due to be broadcast from about noon each day until about 8pm-ish.
As a consequence, several of my favourites (eg 6 News) were not recorded tonight, nor will they be recorded until further notice according to the listing available until next week.

HELP! Can the good folk who look after these details please check to see what has gone wrong with the data download.
All the other channels I use appear to be ok - this issue only appears to affect TV1

Thanks in advance - and for all the good work which makes tivo the powerful tool it is!

I've noticed the same thing too. In looking at next week's guide it seems to get even worse. e.g.on Tuesday there are seven incarnations of One News at 6pm.
Something must be amiss as even TVNZ under the charter wouldn't dare do that to us! (would they?)

Any ideas, please?

I seem to be having this problem too.

Has anybody got any ideas?

Does anybody know if it's widespread?


What I did notice is that my daily updates were not working for the last week - and I got it to work last night, after dicking around for hours on it.

I have just kicked of another daily call to hopefully see if that "fixes" things

When I looked at things a bit more this morning - it seems to have got TV1 mixed up with channel 22 - Sky Movie "greats"

Does anybody have any suggestions for how to fix this?

I lost my first scheduled recording yesterday.

Ah well, another chance for the VCR! Not in the same league as Tivo though.

And, like GeoffT, I have daily scheduled season passes.

I may have caused this problem, because only last week, I was marveling at how reliable the Tivo has been since we got it going.

If there's anything I can do, please advise.

And, in the words of Joni Mitchell:

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

Yup all three of my TiVos are missing TV1 guide data
Seems to be a gap up to next Thursday?

I've just made a Daily Call and have program data to Friday but still nothing for TV1 in the middle of the day to middle of the evening.

I was just thinking. Someone asked recently on here how many NZ Tivo users there were. Well, we've found four! Or at least four that record TV1.

I have seen this to. Just tried re running guided setup after deleting program data, no change :-(.

I think that's pretty extreme.

If a few of you are missing guide data for one channel or parts there of, then chances are there is no guide data loaded on the emulator.

I'll let DJC know in case he is unaware. But chances are he just doesn't have the data.

Peter.

Thanks for that, Peter.

Looks like theirs some bad data in the slice..

Probably explains why one of my TiVos is taking forever to load (30%-31%took an hour) however the other one loads ok.
Both are on 2112 but the 'slow' one has tuner and one input whereas the 'normal' one has only the tuner. Neither is showing a full listing for TV 1 before Friday the 19th

Don't know if the above helps at all but hope it might.

DJC told me yesterday that he would look into it.

Peter.

I'm another Tivo NZ user having same issues with TV1 and large blocks missing from the guide data.

Everyone who uses TV1 should be seeing the problem.

DJC is aware of it, and if he can fix it he will.

Peter.

it seems that tonight my guide data is missing until 2 am tomorrow morning now.

any updates on progress?

did you look past 2am? I now have full guide data for Friday through to Tuesday next week. So I'd say that everything is probably now back to normal.

Yes, I can confirm it looks to be headed in the right direction. Many thanks to whoever or whatever fixed it. I suspect DJC may have been The Man.

Thanks from me too. Schedule looks good from Friday onwards.

not looking too special further into the week I'm afraid, huge gaps, most days shows 6pm news only!

Yes, it's slipped back from where it was guide wise on Thursday. things that were there then (for next week) have now gone.

Still no news of the problem though.

Fingers crossed!

This is an issue with the source data. I think we need to put a bit of programming effort into the setup, Ideally we need to setup a web interface to allow examination and management of such data -- I've been looking for someone with python and php/web skills .. or a person with each -- any takers?

many thanks to whomever fixed our problem - TV1 seems to be OK now.

I have just noticed Prime TV is missing all guide data - is this the same cause?

There is a separate thread for the missing Prime TV guide.

Peter.

Unfortunately I'm only fluent in English but if there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to tell me. i.e. if there's a long workaround or anything I can help with
