I find errors quite a lot between what my TiVo says is on compared to what my VHD box says that's why I stated 'as usual'. However, tonight both my boxes say the same - and that is that Mudcats is on at 8pm

Also shows some programmes are on catchup, but when you try to see them they are not.

You'd do a lot better sending an email to tivoguideerrors AT virginmedia.co.uk

Virgin use an external company for TiVo epg data. So I wouldn't solely blame VM for the errors.

It's a bit like subtitles. Several really silly errors but an essential service that is of great use.

And whom do they work for ,ASDA?
Sorry the Buck etc, applies in this case

Posting because of promised delivery - off once it comes!!!

The errors in real-time subtitles are a consequence of they way they are generated. They could be made more accurate, but that would delay their broadcast, and getting them out quickly is arguably more important.

If you're interested, there's a lot more about this here

The errors are in more than real time subtitling.

The old human driven system was far better. The ones during the Royal Baby story were an utter joke in places... Sainsbury's was the place of birth at one point and the Queen changed sex to a "great grandfather" which is basic stuff.

Always finding programmes I've recorded when played back are not what I was expecting due to Tivo EPG having wrong listings, almost a daily occurrence.

Really?? I get that once in a blue moon.

What channel?

[Doug P]

I agree hardly ever happens to me except when Eurosport decide to move coverage between their two channels...
