    Thanks for the warning, but any predicted data would be more than welcome by anyone with a TiVo I am guessing you have renumbered the StationDay's so that predicted data can be updated by future slices? This post has a small writeup on the reason for it. Of course the current sequential scheme would also work if there was a database/file held somewhere that mapped the sequence numbers to a Station+Day. You just need to be able to update existing (predicted) entries already existing in the database.

    Things to be careful of with predicted data

    Hmm... an example of the problem you may encounter is as follows... if you predict information for TV2 next Wednesday and give the StationDay a ServerId of 1234500... then a few days later when you get the real schedule for that day and you then give the StationDay a differnet ServerId then there is likely to be two schedules in the database for TV2 for Wednesday - and I have no idea which would be used...

    The trick is to use a number which can be predicted (such as ChannelId+DayNum) so that when it comes time to update it you simply overwrite it (using a later version number).

    The other thing to watch is that you probably want to alter the ProgramId for the predicted shows otherwise they will not be recorded as they will be the same as the previous weeks Id, and TiVo will not record the same programme twice within a 28 day period.

    That's why this Guide Data Checker is useful. Using it I knew a few days ahead that TV3 had gaps (1 channel among many).

    In the current circumstances everybody should be using this module.

    Instead of ~moaning~, do what I did and offer to help.
    Meat, beer, ... what more could a kid ask for? Of course... a TiVo! What were my parents thinking?
