Was doing my third tivo setup in as many months [dont ask] .. here's a new one......see attached capture... Failed while preparing data (at the import stage) during the setup call.
The download of data goes fine. Tried the oz emulator... it loaded down the data and imported and indexed fine. Do we have an issue with the slice at present?

The slice is fine (I think) as my other tivo downloaded it fine at 1:10am via loadguide.
Normally you'd fix it by removing the slice files from /var/hack/guide and re-running loadguide. But I'm not sure with the emulator as it doesn't put any of those files in that directory.
Were you connecting over a turbonet card or via dialup?

Turbonet. Config is good; been running for months.
Acutally in thinking about it the programme data isn't loaded till later in the GS so this could be a headend thing...

Ignore my last comment. Must be a problem with the current slice on the emulator?
Setup the tivo manually (channels etc) and tried to use the emulator to pull down the guide data -- same problem (see attached).
Then used loadguide to pull down and load the current slice -- that worked fine.

Not sure if related, but I had a hole appear in data for Saturday night which had previously been populated.
For example, Smallville had a season pass with a recording appearing in the todo list. After latest load of guide, the Smallville todo was deleted with reason that it no longer appears in the guide data.

This using the Sky or Saturn zipcode? Also, was this a clean image, or some sort of clear/delete all or rerun guided setup?
