BBC programmes missing from Catchup?

Have I missed another thread discussing a problem with BBC shows not appearing in Catchup on TiVo anymore? I haven't seen any BBC shows listed for about a week, and there's no longer any "BBC" listed under Catch up by channel. The iPlayer App still exists under the TiVo Apps section. I used to be able to go to Catch Up TV On Demand - All Days and see BBC shows listed. All I see now is Channel 4, ITV and 5. I've got this problem on multiple TiVo's.

Oh and the box in my kitchen thinks the time is 15:42, not 16:42

Hi all

As you know we recently launched the BBC iPlayer app on the Tivo service, with numerous advantages such as the complete catch up library, including HD, radio shows and subtitling.

This great app will develop over time and we are working with BBC to find a way to put all the new content into our catch up area, 7 days backwards grid and global search. However while we work on this integration we won't be able to offer access to iPlayer content through these other routes. Instead you can simply press the red button when watching live BBC channels or go straight to the Apps and Games area where you will find the complete iPlayer app. You can search the full BBC library through the app's built-in search functionality.

Thanks

We know about the Home screen clock, it won't affect your recordings, it's being looked at by TiVo.

We are aware and TiVo are dealing with it, as i say it won't affect your recordings as the TV Guide clock is correct.

That sounds rather ominous. I remember a month or 2 back a news article somewhere mentioning the BBC board had decided that in future iPlayer content will be presented using BBC look and feel rather than being integrated into 3rd party UI - ie Virgin's OnDemand catchup or Tivo's catchup (-) EPG. So it's not technical, its political - which is far worse!

Another reason to stick with my creaking V+SA box until things settle down and prices drop just like they did for the SA box 3 years ago.
