MXC Schedule
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

In case you haven't already done so, go to:

http://www.spiketv.com/home/comment.../home/comments/

and ask them to provide full guide data for MXC. Since most of that information seems to be available on their web-site's schedule, they ought to be able to provide it to Tribune.

MXC is annoying. I have no idea when they play the new episode. So, my TiVo records about 30 episodes of it a week. I have to go through each one to find out if I've seen it or not.

Same here. I've given up on trying to figure it all out. Great show, but a little bit of help would be nice.

I love MXC, but as long as I can't trust Spike's guide data, I haven't (and won't) TiVo anything else on that channel.

There's also an issue with Tivo displaying the right Star Trek epsidoes. They seem to be off by one at night.

Something must have happened. As of last night's download, I now have MXC episode data. I don't know how accurate it is (going to be), but instead of "eliminating" my ARWL (which I was planning on doing that very day), I've changed it to FRO and moved it up out of the "Bad Guide Data" area near the bottom of my SPM. After doing this, I still had to manually delete several episodes out of my To Do list, though. I think it might be because they just gave all the shows the same First Aired date. There appears to be enough data to at least let the 30 day rule to kick in and stop the recording of billions of duplicate episodes on their marathon days.

I just noticed I haven't gotten an episode in awhile. Did they change the name, or did my wife delete the season pass because she hates it? I'll have to check tonight.

I was wondering the same thing but couldn't remember if I deleted the season pass due to bad guide data already. I know I had been thinking about it :confused:

There's been several claims that directv changed the spike network ID recently, which broke season passes, requiring you to reenter them.

I'm still getting episodes--got one I'd never seen before yesterday, along with one I had seen before. I think I have my wishlist set to record repeats and duplicates.

Yours works because it is a WL and is not tied to Spike TV specifically. The change from Tribune didn't break WL's, but it did hose regular SP's.

To fix all broken Spike TV SP's, pick an episode and create a new SP, then delete the old SP.
