networks need to get on the ball with season finale naming
 

so far in the past week, the tivo schedule has not known about the finales
of
- the third hour of survivor
- the second hour of the bachelor
- the second hour of enterprise

i think its a combo of the networks changing the naming conventions
sometimes
(ie survivor: wherever vs survivor: reunion) and just not reporting the
schedule
properly (enterprise 2nd hour didnt even show up in the guide)

FWIW, it showed up and was recorded on my Series 1 SA.

Doesn't mean it can't and shouldn't be fixed.

Not up on this one.


Me either, this was my wife's show, fortunately she checked 15 minutes
into the second hour so just missed that 15 minutes.

- the second hour of enterprise

Completely untrue. You're the first to report it, and I would suspect
padding to be the problem.


I had no padding on it.

properly (enterprise 2nd hour didnt even show up in the guide)

Again, first and only to report this.


No I'm not, I found out about Enterprise because of a post
in this newsgroup from someone else alerting people to check
their guide.

My TiVo (SA 1 standalone) got that one fine.

- the second hour of the bachelor

Not up on this one.

I don't watch this.

Completely untrue. You're the first to report it, and I would suspect
padding to be the problem.

The guide was 1 hour off on this, and I got the second hour (TiVo
was expecting the first), not the first. The guide said 7 and 8 (Central
Time), but it was actually 6 and 7.

I did, though, have manual recordings set up on a non-TiVo DVD recorder,
which got what I wanted.

So use a wishlist instead of a season pass. Problem fixed.

This was fixed for everyone by the time the show aired. And it has
nothing to do with TiVo since they don't create the schedule information -
they buy it from a 3rd party vendor. If the schedule info is wrong, you
shouldn't blame TiVo.

My Tivo (a series 1 DTivo) knew about the second hour of Enterprise (though,
after watching it, it might have been better if it didn't). I don't watch
the other shows, so I don't know whether it would have picked them up or
not.

So then fix it. It is, as I said, well-known that CBS does not consider
the Survivor reunion to be an episode of Survivor, and that is the way it
is reported to Tribune. So you either keep this in mind or set up an ARWL
for Survivor rather than a SP, which has the added benefit of not having to
redo the SP every season.


CBS fixed this problem some time ago. At least the last three reunion
shows have been picked up by my season pass.

look at the title of the post... NETWORKS need to get on the ball,
not TiVo. I know it's not TiVo, I've had a tivo for 5 years and none of
these glitches got me, I was ready for them (well, except bachelor),
I'm just saying it would be nice if things were ironed out.

RobR seemed to utter in news:[email protected]:

My DirecTiVo got all three hours of Survivor and both
episodes of Enterprise fine.

The second hour of Enterprise was labeled "America's Top Model".
That is, Paramount/UPN did not notify Tribune Media Services or
its member stations of the change, which means that Zap2it.com
did not get notified, and neither did standalone TiVos until
1:30am on the day of the show.

So, is was not a "season finale naming" problem; I put the
blame on Paramount for sending out proper notifications.
