Actually, so does mine! But the TV & Satellite publication has the next episode listed.

Maybe the publication wasn't able to accommodate the late schedule change and it is the EPG that is right.

The thing is that viewers shouldn't have to guess what's happening..it's not rocket science for one department to speak to another even if they work for different companies.

Turned on for Flog it..only it's Tennis.Seems the BBC is as guilty of making last minute changes without informing anyone.:rolleyes:

Just wait for Wimbledon fortnight and the first time a British player is on court approaching 6pm. Despite the program continuing on BBC2, the BBC simply won't let people follow the schedule and will insist on the match continuing on BBC1 and completely messing the schedule/planned recordings etc.

Any complaints to the BBC will, of course, fall on deaf ears with some scripted answer that completely misses the point.

The EU referendum has caused problems with today's recordings.

As the EPG wasn't changed, It now thinks that programmes have been recorded when they haven't.

Was looking forward to watching Barging Around Britain yesterday only to find Emerdale was on instead. The Epg was still saying Barging Around Britain though!

Yes, but then again, you haven't missed any programmes, Richard. When they are re-scheduled, they will record as normal.

Not if the TiVo thinks it has already recorded the episode. I'm unsure whether it realises if the guide is updated after the recording has happened

Wow, that's a good point. I hadn't even considered that possibility, and of course, you are absolutely right.

Thank you, spiderplant, if this happens in the future I will be sure to re-record.

Why are Vm not even updating the schedule for the football. My Tivo wants to record the Ireland match today from BBC (its not on BBC !!) and cannot record from ITV because of a clash. I have to use my freeview recorder to decide which ones to delete. I am better off recording on freeview anyway as it has dynamic recording to adjust automatically for extra time and penalties, without silly old fashioned padding. Anyone relying on Virgins "superior" "premium" solution is screwed.

Why is the EPG even saying its on BBC anyway? It's not as if it was originally scheduled for that broadcaster! I can sort of understand a last minute switch from day BBC1 to BBC2 not having time to be updated but we've known this match was going to be on ITV for a few days now!

Does your Tivo require a reboot?
My Tivo shows 'Homes under the hammer', followed by 'For what it's worth'.
