Have VM officially stated that? I certainly don't remember it being confirmed as November.

It should tell you on the screen why it is asking. What does it say?

Does it know the current programme title for ATR?

Well l still seem to be having a few problems as l have connected several times and it has still not updating the EPG to 12 to 13 days ahead and still has only 6 days ahead on quite a lot of channels and has the words to be announced and no programme information available.

So what does it say for Last attempt and Last status?

Good lateral thinking there.

A similar thing works for other wishlist BUT very long-winded:

After setting the wishlist
you need then go and delete each recordings
and then restore each recording one by one
they'll appear in the new folder when they are restored.

(The folder only gets populated on "new" recordings,
and an "old" recording becomes "new" when restored from deletion )

Last attempt 23/10 21.06 and Last status succeeded but looking at some parts of my EPG its is still the same.

I phoned up just now to see if I could swap the V+ box for a 500gb Tivo but was told that I couldn't do that on the VIP package, I have to keep the V+ box but can get a 3rd box which can be another Tivo box. Does anyone know if this is the case? I'm sure I've read somewhere on here, that other people on this forum have VIP packages but have all Tivo Boxes and not V+ boxes, or have I imagined that?! Thank you.

I phoned up earlier this morning and spoke to someone in the UK Call centre. Was again told that on my package I couldn't swap my V+ for the 500gb Tivo, but could move the V+ to another room and have the 500gb Tivo put in my bedroom and only pay a Â£49.95 activation fee and no increase in my monthly premium! Don't know how that works as thought I would have to pay a Â£6.50 multi-room subscription to have a 3rd box, so i'm not complaining.

Now go to System Info->System Info. What does it say for "Programme Information To"?

Which channels and days are missing? (You are aware that the "terrestrial" channels only provide EPG data weekly, so you don't get 14 days for these, aren't you?)

its says programme information to 4/11 and the channels where the problems are are Filmfour and the "terrestrial" channels and all their offspring channels where it only goes up to the end of friday when this is usually 11 or 12 days ahead and l am aware of not getting 14 days for them.

Ok so I get the fact that recordings get put into folders according to series/program name. Is it possible to get the box to play back all the recordings in more than one folder consecutively?

I'm so used to what I do on the V+ box where I can archive any mix of programs I want and get a display of how much time I have added to the list as I do so. It seems like a backward step in this respect on the TiVo?

That's normal. As they only provide data once a week, it creeps down each day, then a week gets added all at once. You will see anywhere between one and two weeks, depending on which day you look.

Thanks Spider for your clear explanation to a still learning Tivo user.

Spiderplant, are you aware of the very active thread on the Community Forum regarding this problem?

http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...de/td-p/796943

There you will see that VM have now confirmed that problem of current missing EPG data is a fault.

A post by a Mod earlier today said:

Hi there

This has been raised to be looked into as a fault Ref 1778123. Hopefully have this sorted soon.

thanks
Claire
