TV guide issue
 
Hi my to guide hadn't updated since Friday 20th, and only shows programming up to fri 6th march, but terrestrial to channels only show up to fri 27th Feb. System info shows my box is connecting to network successfully every 6 hours as usual, but it doesn't download any programme info. I have tried rebooting and forcing a connection but still the same result. Any ideas? I have tried the service checker and VM says there is an issue with broadband in my area, but why would that affect the to if the box successfully connects to the network?:mad:

It's the same on my V6 - IMHO rebooting would rarely resolve this, as long as connections are succeeding this usually resolves in time.

Some channels show data well beyond Friday, so I'd only start worrying if this isn't populated by midweek.

It just gets better ! Not bothering to look it up , but last night I had a recording of fixer to Fabulous, on Really. upon playing it the strap line was saying it. Was that show. In fact the show was about Andrew Lloyd Webber! Thinking Really has some major problems :(

Thanks for a sensible reply SP. Is this error affecting the 360 as well as the V6?

The EPG is getting worse by the day, so I emailed my contact at the office of the CEO and copied him in to each error I came across.

The response appeared to be AI originated and said that, because the V6 has been superseded by the 360, it's apps were gradually becoming out of date and the problem would go away if I ordered the 360!!!

So V6 is not fit for propose. Understand they could force new systems on to everyone. If they can't , don't . Are they not in breach of contract :erm:

It was V6 only. It was fixed shortly after I posted.

Don't report guide data errors to the CEO's office. They can't deal with them. Send them to tivoguideerrors at virginmedia.co.uk. You might not get a reply but they will be dealt with.
