When was the last time your daily call suceeded?

The TiVo schedules hereare correct for BBC1 East and West Midlands.

Hmm - 2.13 am today (goes off to make another daily call...)

I moved over here from another thread - sorry for duplicating this discussion. The Tivo schedules for tonight on ITV are certainly wrong, but my Sunday Times magazine from last Sunday, 5 days ago, is correct - and my Tivo has been making its daily call each night and the call succeeded last night. Why are Tivo schedules 5 days behind the newspapers? My perception is similar to the tone of other remarks elsewhere on this board, which is that the frequency of schedule errors seems to be rising as time goes on.

Just checked mine and it shows the correct ITV1 schedule. As my last daily call was this morning @ 6:43am, I assume the schedule was updated some time between yours and mine, clayts. Unfortunate, but it happens, I guess :)

Yup, after the update at 7.15 pm all was well with clayts world again :)

The Times listings were likely to be a guess.

For Thursday to Sunday night - BBC1 and ITV1 both published two lots of schedules. One with football and one without football.

Some listings decided the football was more important and so always carried the football versions - ie: Digiguide and TiVo.

Some had a guess at who would show the football - so I expect some had football on ITV and regular programmes on BBC - and so were both wrong.

The BBC did not pick their second game until Wednesday - so for Friday, Saturday and Sunday - until Wednesday it was not known which version of the schedule was being used.

Radio Times carried both versions for both channels (I think).

The same issue occurred in the south and was not corrected. TiVo missed Eastenders on Friday because it thought it was on at 7pm. So, I thought I would redeem myself by recording the last half hour of the omnibus on Sunday (missed the BBC3 repeat), only to find (when I played it back) that it had been running half an hour late, so we got Thursday's episode again! Doh! :mad:

you better check tonights episide then, as its not shown on the sky planner for BBC1 anymore.

Have to record it from BBC3. Sodding sport :D

Don't worry, I made sure I checked last night's episode in plenty of time to catch the BBC 3 repeat! :D
