    Hi Ed,

    This was a standard update of Sky Digital data Saturday morning, presumably of the emulators Friday slice.

    Had previously been showing the Saturday evening shows but following that update lost about three hours of Saturday evening on Channel 2 I think it was. The Smallville recording showed up in the Recording history with a not recorded reason of "deleted from guide data". Very weird.

    I was thinking of writing a little TCL scipt to look for and notify back gaps in the data if that would help.

    Heh, whoops, should addressed that... I'm looking for info on DJC's setup, since he seems to be having all sorts of trouble getting stuff to download at all. I wouldn't be too surprised if there's some data anomoly in the guide data slice, but that's something that Jaidev would have to dig into, other than delivery I don't have much control over data slices. The headends are all mine though, and this seems like it could be a headend issue. Or some sort of rouge data on DJCs box.

    The script sounds like a good idea, might help ID when there's a problem a bit earlier than when somebody notices missing data...

    It was a clean image, sky digital, zip 02113, a/code 002. [well at least should have been]

    Blew image back into hard disk (again) ... went through the process tonight, no problems this time..!!

    Heh. TiVos are like cats. Sometimes they decide they have their own ideas and they're stickin' with 'em come hell or highwater...

    Howdy Ed,

    Doing guided setup it failed on Setup Call with message 'Connecting - Failed. Service unavailable'. Can't do a test call via TiVo Web Module either.

    Can you get it going? (if the emulator is broken that is).

    Ta.

    Sean.
    Meat, beer, ... what more could a kid ask for? Of course... a TiVo! What were my parents thinking?
