BBC TV guide wrong? - Can a VM person check?

Just checking as it shows Countryfile 7-8pm then Antiques Roadshow 8-9pm but Countryfile is still on at the moment and the BBC TV guide shows Countryfile is on until 2020hrs...

Suspect football or something earlier may have pushed the schedule back? Does Tivo normally update to such events?

Not sure if that might affect recordings etc on that channel?

Is this one of the things that's being looked at for the Tivo?

Certainly will, you will end up missing the end of Country File

It might appear at some time, especially after we all start paying £5 a month to have the luxury of having a TIVO in the house

Re: BBC TV guide wrong? - Can a VM person check?

I have posted about the incorrect listings before the amount of programs I wanted to watch when I go to the channel a different program is showing who is responsible for correct tv listings it's bit disgrasfull for a content provide to have wrong listings so many times especially with TiVo all the bells and whistles but can't provide correct basic tv list

We better get used to this, what with the Olympics and Euro 2012 coming up.

The football earlier went to extra time and knocked out all the times on the later programmes. It kind of caught up when Upstairs Downstairs came on at 9:05pm instead of 9pm.

My Sky EPG didn't need to catch up, it corrected as soon as the football ran late. Its good to know the £3 TiVo fee is providing such a good service. LMAO....

Ohh and the welsh call center is extremely efficient from what I'm hearing when compared to Liverpool. So that's good news for VM.

You may not know this but Sky have people who's job it is to update the EPG, they have all the permissions needed to instantly make universal changes to the listings.
