V+ : Blasted EPG errors

Todays football is even worse. My Tivo wants to record Italy v Spain 3 times. First at 16:30 and then twice at 19:30. Again my freeview box is correct and does not have it listed at 19:30. You pay £100's every month for a premium product that relies on a reliable EPG and you have use a freeview product to manually correct it!

Which channels have it listed at 19:30?

Might it also depend on what the "first aired date" is set to? if the channel broadcaster/EPG supplier sets the first-aired-date correctly as being the rescheduled date, Tivo should see it as "new" and record accordingly?

I appreciate this depends on a bit of common sense prevailing, but I'm happy to be corrected on this.

So again the BBC is careless about changing a late night film. No doubt there was an explanation that I missed. Good job I hadn't set up a recording.

Be glad when the tenis is over with as the bbc is shfting programs around left right and centre and it's driving me nuts!

!The quality of the EPG is getting worse.

I have a clash at 9am tomorrow and was looking for an alternative showing of the Andrew Marr Show. It said that there wasn't one- good job I know it's on the Parliament channel later on at 7pm or I'd have been stuffed.

Some clashes have appeared for Monday morning. Turns out that it's because the EPG says that Superfoods at 4:20am on 4Seven ends at 9am. It's actually only a half hour programme, so I've had to set a manual recording

Why have channels like the BBC and ITV only got 6 days of programmes on the EPG as l wanted to look further ahead and it says to be announced soon when usually you can look nearly 2 weeks ahead on the EPG.

Well I can't see more than 6 days ahead.

Those channels only provide EPG updates once a week. Usually it comes on a Thursday night, but currently there's a network fault that's preventing this week's update being processed.

Which obviously as Spider states is not there currently because of a network fault NK.
