Otherwise changing channels directly erases the buffer and starts rebuffering on new channel.

Thanks Richard.
As I said, I thought my example was happening a couple of weeks back but not any more.
Looks like I was mistaken, it's not an issue but thanks again for clearing it up.

As soon as I understand it, I promise to attempt to explain it. It might be some time

The issue surrounding BBC Click as already been discussed here. However, I thought I'd mention this post over on the TCF, which explains the situation in detail.

I have gone back through the listings for BBC News for the past month and occasionally a late update for Click with episode details is released - but maybe too late for TiVo to use. But Click is not always shown in all of the time slots - so that is not even a 100% pattern.
The other important thing to remember, is that it being a news channel the programme can be dropped without any notice. But if it has correct weekly data in TiVo and TiVo records the dropped event - it will not automatically record it later,
This is the listings for Click for next week - looking at it how do you work out what the different is between any episode. Is every episode going to be a 30 minute episode (or 15 minutes), which is the NEW episode - and are all the episodes the same edition?
Also, they have programme info for the last edition - but that seems to relate to an episode weeks ago. So is it a repeat from weeks ago or is it an error? It is not flagged as a repeat so is it NEW?
If anybody can come up with a system which will not get complaints of missing episodes - then I'll ask if it can be reviewed.

Of course, the same goes for any programme that only ever has generic synopses

It will change a different tuner if the one you are watching is carrying out a scheduled recording of that channel

I suspect there isn't any logic as such at the moment. It is simply recording what other people with similar tastes have thumbed. So if they thumbed the SD versions, that's what you get.
I wonder what happens if you habitually thumb-up HD programmes and thumb-down the SD equivalent?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
EPG issues strike again.
Currently on Comedy Central (& HD) my EPG says 'Mike & Molly' and 'Two & a Half Men' is on.
Now, shows not being tagged as new I can handle but the wrong show completely is a major issue

That's not true because the ratings are stored against the program, not the channel it was aired on.
You can't thumb up the show on an HD channel and then down on SD because once you thumb it up on the HD channel it'll also be thumbed up on the SD channel as well, because Tivo will see it's the exact same show.

Of course  But I was meaning when no recordings are taking place.

This is a weird one!
Even though both eps have the correct (ie not generic) episode synopses, and my SL is set to 'new only', both of this week's showings of "NCIS: LA" on Sky1 have been scheduled to record.
Even more interestingly, the given OAD is 11/05/11; even though the scheduled premier date is actually 08/05/11.
Huh?

Yep, I gave 2 thumbs up for NCIS on FX, yet NCIS on FX HD also has 2 thumbs up.

Definately, I'm sure it will come as a huge relief after years of court battles.
What are the chances of the things mentioned in the link below making it to the VM TiVO if they get the go ahead in the US?
