Tasmanian TV Guide Issues.

[damar]

I downloaded putty and typed in the command, it got a list of stations including 31 Viceland and 32 movie channel. I did a epg download on my Tivo but it is just the same. both of those channels are still empty. when the dos list came up, did I have to type in another command? I tried putty to ssh but it didn't work out at all.

When I try station_debug.tcl on a tivo in Melbourne, I get :-
...
07/02:07:43:10: /hack/bin/station_debug.tcl: Channel:31, Name:{SBS VICELA}, TransportID:784
07/02:07:43:10: /hack/bin/station_debug.tcl: /StationTms/10007220:3c2480 /Server/370553370
07/02:07:43:10: /hack/bin/station_debug.tcl: Channel:32, Name:{SBS World Movies}, TransportID:784
07/02:07:43:10: /hack/bin/station_debug.tcl: /StationTms/10001502:1ca2 /Server/114792909
...

Could you try copying & pasting the equivalent lines from running it your tivo?
(That is the lines that say Channel:31 and Channel:32 and the line after each one.)

In Melbourne, I could see guide info on Channel 32 when I looked over the weekend (at what was showing for July 1-3), but the guide data disappeared on July 1. Which I think is the same time the channel name changed (I didn't do that either on the server end or the tivo box end).
I don't know why channel 32 guide info stopped working on July 1, but I presume its something to do with SBS using that channel for World Movies instead of the old Viceland SD, and I presume it affects all of Australia since July 1.

I am looking for feedback on whether other (Southern) Tasmanians have guide data for channel 31 Viceland or not.

In Melbourne, ... channel 32 guide info stopped working on July 1...

I am still working this problem. I tried doing Delete Channel on 32 (World Movies, with no guide info) and then a Channel Scan. That worked in terms of re-adding channel 32 (and apparently not changing anything else), but it doesn't seem to have helped with guide info, although it's possible things might improve with tomorrow's tivo service connection (when that tivo gets new guide data from the mothership emulator/server). I'll let you know if it starts working tomorrow.

I found out that SBS are using a different SID for World Movies (channel 32) in July than was used for the old Viceland (channel 32) in late June. I'm not sure yet whether that explains why we are not seeing guide data on World Movies, but at least I have a rough idea of what I could do if that was the only problem (although I don't think I've successfully changed that sort of head-end stuff before). This might take a while to sort out, but at least I have an idea of something to try.

I am looking for feedback on whether other (Southern) Tasmanians have guide data for channel 31 Viceland or not.

I got feedback from another Southern Tasmanian that he does see guide data for 31 Viceland, so it looks like it is not a systemic problem for all of Southern Tasmania.

thankyou for your efforts. I put the Prom in myself and following the Oztivo instructions, downloaded and sucessfully installed the software. should I try downloading and reinstalling on top of my original? or is there a different set of newer downloads? I have tivo installer 0.6

when I get the dos page of channels, channel 31 the next line says "no station" 32 (movie channel) has a second line. how do I copy and past them?

I meant copy (about 4 lines of) the output from station_debug.tcl and paste that into a reply on this thread (or paste into notepad or something to store it temporarily and then paste from there into a forum reply), so we can see the details in that output.
If you are using putty on windows, then this might help: https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-copy-paste-in-putty

On your earlier post, I don't think you should try reinstalling on top (that sounds dangerous or strange). I don't think running tivo installer again would help.
You could try deleting channel 31 through the tivo interface. TiVo > Messages & Settings > Settings > Channels > Channel List > (scroll down to 31) > Clear
and then ... > Channels > Channel Scan should offer to add 31 for you.
If you like you could try Channel Scan before deleting 31, and check that it doesn't want to make any changes.

If you do delete and re-add 31, then I would like to see station_debug.tcl output both before and after you do that, to see if there are any changes noticeable.

my first set of numbers (before deleting ch 31 & 32) were the same except they started with 07/18:01:43:17

the second set after deleting
07/18:04:52:28: /hack/bin/station_debug.tcl: Channel:31, Name:{SBS VICELAND HD}
,TransportID:896
07/18:04:52:28: /hack/bin/station_debug.tcl: NO STATION
07/18:04:52:28: /hack/bin/station_debug.tcl: Channel:32, Name:{SBS World Movies
}, TransportID:896
07/18:04:52:28: /hack/bin/station_debug.tcl: /StationTms/10003155:28db /Server/
148378615

I then did the channel scan and got 31/2 back. I then did epg scan and everything is still the same, 31 named Viceland and 32 named World Movies are both "to be announced"
