The guide is messed,,,,,,,,, AGAIN!

[Radioguy41]

The guide is replicating the Hallmark channel listings on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries which means I can't set a timer to record any new movies that might premiere on HM&M and that does not please the better half. I forced a guide update but it's still messed. I'm really getting tired of this nonsense.

How did you force guide update?

How did you force guide update?

Make sure nothing is being recorded and nothing is scheduled for the next 30 minutes or so then turn off the Hopper and all connected Joeys and a guide download should start within minutes.

My solution was to get a divorce. YMMV

How did you force guide update?

Go into Setup and do a switch test. When it's done and you go back to live TV it will automatically update.

It’s the awesome Rovi data again. . It was fubarred with Friday’s upload to all their customers. I’ve complained to TiVo, and hoping it’s fixed with this afternoons update, but knowing tivo/rovi it could be a few days.

Saturday, I set some manual timers on my TiVo, for the new HMM movies tonight and tomorrow.

What receiver are you talking about?

Are we certain for the Holiday week they are not the same programming?

 

[Radioguy41]

Should work in any receiver since it's the setup for the dish and switch, not the receiver.

Yes, we are certain it is not.

A hard reboot forces a guide update, too, as long as the Joeys are off and nothing's recording

Must be why I had a few Fox News Business shows recorded, which I could not find any times set for such and I’ve never, ever recorded one of these shows. I don’t have enough $$ to even pay attention to a financial channel!

Rovi strikes again!

So you probably have a legacy receiver because it doesn't work that way on Hoppers.

What receiver do you have?

 

[Radioguy41]

VIP211K. So there's no way to go into Installation and check the dish and switch on a Hopper?

 

[lucky86]

Yes, there you can see the switch matrix on a Hopper.

Sure you can do switch test, it's called 'Check Installation', but it doesn't force a guide download when it's done. To force a guide download on a Hopper or Wally you make sure nothing is being recorded and nothing is scheduled for the next 30 minutes or so. You then turn off the Hopper and all connected Joeys and a guide download should start within minutes.

When a guide download is needed, the receiver should recognize this and once there is an available tuner, the download should begin.

And the operative words there are both 'should'.

Fair enough
