TV3 Guide Data Missing

**aklobem** · 25-07-2014, 02:31 PM

Hi - phoned in 7:28am today - still missing data. I can't see anything exceptional in the logs.

Yes same with me. Forced a call this evening (Sat 11pm) and still the same issue. Looks like a headend issue Wibble? Is this something that I can potentially help with - as I know you're no longer using TiVo yourself? And those remaining on TiVo really do appreciate your help ..

Cheers

Thanks it is much appreciated. I only note that the upload file is tvguide-v001.tgz not tvguide-001.tgz but apart from that seems to work.

Yes, we certainly do appreciate the continued support!

I've had a look but haven't resolved it yet. Basically there is TV3 data for Freeview but very little for Sky.
Will have another look tomorrow.

Many thanks Wibble. The stalwart remaining TiVo users salute you!

I manage to inject some guide data in for TV3, so there exists a backup method that we developed many years ago.
In doing this I notice TIVODAY (what the TiVo uses to track the days from inception) is 16282. From memory the TIVO will crap out
at 16384. However this is from discussions in 2001, so it may not be correct. I hope I am mistaken!

Eeek. That doesn't sound promising!

Hi - how does the backup method work? I'd be interested in giving it a go.

Hi
yes, I was thinking along those lines myself, until the emulator is fixed.
I need to write up a quick script first, that reformats the TV3 data (I've got the
data from my freeview card).
Then you just run a script we wrote (TVLoad.tcl), and point it at the tv3 data and
it inserts it. So all the data load runs on a local pc, no emulator needed.

But, really busy at the moment, flying to chch and back today. might try
Thur.

p.s., as a bit of history, we bought the first 4 tivos to NZ, hence why we have a completely
different system and (now unused) image.
