7 Mate HD (74) and 10 Bold (12) Missing Guide Data in SA

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. With 7 Mate changing from 73 to 74 in Melbourne,I no longer have any guide info.
I suppose I'll have to find a TV guide and work out a manual fix.
Cheers.

Unfortunately it seems the guide is no longer being maintained, its a bit of a shame considering all the hard work that was put into the new mods a few years ago. The tivos without the guide info are essentially just bricks and I can only expect it to get worse over the next few months with even more guide changes on their way.

I'm currently looking at purchasing a Fetch TV Mighty, anybody used one of these before? Another option which looks good is the hdhomerun.

Yes I have noticed the same problem.
Now something else has turned up. My TiVo's have stopped recording shows like the 6pm news, it says on the "to do list" it's not recorded is because it is a repeat! I have the record set for first runs in the "season pass mangr" and has been fine up till today. I have now changed to "all" and I will see what happens tomorrow.

I have a Mighty Fetch it's not bad but compared to the TiVo it fails. It will record several channels but you can not flip between them as the two channels recording on the TiVo. I hire mine through Optus as a package. I have been doing that for some time but the box has been replaced 3 times after failing. Then you loose all you recordings and have to reprogram all the shows you want to record again.

I thought the fetch was good? I am currently playing around with Jellyfin DVR and the built in m3u tuner (which just records the internet streams). Its working pretty well to be honest, the only real issue I have had so far is that it does not work for any live sport (this is never streamed but transmitted over freeview UHF only).

The main issue with this setup is that it needs a dedicated PC setup to run it. The client can be anything really as the jellyfin client app can be installed on nearly anything. I am currently running it off an xiaomi android box.

Jellyfin is also compatible with the HDHomerun which will solve the recording of sports problem, but so far I have not needed it and if I am watching any of the live sport I just do it the old fashioned way and watch directly on freeview uhf.
