Failed preparing guide data

[Muzza]

Hi all

Since my recent rebuild and hard disk replacement everything had been going fine untill about Sunday when I started getting the "Please make daily call" message to indicate that I was running out of data. I did however still have about 7 days worth despite the message stating I had 3. This has counted down over the last couple of days and today I am about to run about (according to the messages) but am in fact still ok untill next Wednesday (14th Dec) when I look at the live tv guide.

I checked TiVo-web tonight though and noticed that today's daily call was displaying as "Failed preparing guide data". I forced another call and received the same result. I have also restarted the TiVo and tried again with the same result.

Is anyone else having issues?

If not, what should I be checking/changing on mine?

Yep.....same here.

What is your emulator config - port?

I just checked mine, (tivo that is) - I've not got the issue.

I've resliced for the day, so try again and lets see.

Muzza: Your problem looks like indexing is not completing, have you done the usual ... touch /var/timestamp ... force_index.tcl and checked you haven't got a warped clock?

I just re-tried but still received error.

Whoops - I'd been writing a reply to your last post and your next one appeared. No - I haven't tried that process.

Run me through it again (please)

And again thanks Muzza... (alot of activity on the emulator just trying to sort through it)

Thanks DJC

Done that and according to the fact that I can see programs in my "pick programs to record" it must mean that part is fixed I guess.

Obviously the "Failed Data" is a different fault so I'll let you check that out and I'll try again tomorrow on that one.

My TiVo went through again today with success.
