Anyone told Tivo? will these channels change over automatically too.


Yes, the guide download with the new EPG numbers was available from
midnight last night; TiVo owners will get the automatically generated
message with a huge amount of channel movements and the deletion of the
radio channels on the next automatic dialup after then.

Those who record radio stations can get the radio stations back by
following the instructions at the top of the TiVo UK forum on
http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/

The above opinions are mine, and Edinburgh University can't have them

Thanks, I should have looked more carefully at the time planned for the
update. I thought it was happening tonight not last night! I haven't
switched Sky on so far today otherwise I would have realised my mistake.


The change went through on my box about 5.30am

Why the hell can't Sky carry proper radio listing though?

Looks like someone forgot to tell We Love Telly! magazine, or, perhaps
they weren't paying attention. :)

Agreed! - I want to set my Sky+ box up to record Something Understood
each week but I can't. :(

One exception is the Children's section (which Sky seems hell-bent on
calling "Kids" at every opportunity. I don't think they even know the
C-word). Not a single channel is moving, for obvious reasons.


Except Trouble, which has finally decided to become an "Entertainment"
channel instead.

That's what we were promised, but it hasn't happened. Eg
137 Life TV/Vision
138 Life TV +2
139 Life Showcase
146 You TV
148 BEN
183 Passion TV

I share Paul's worry.


If they're in the entertainment section then the majority of their
broadcasts MUST be entertainment, and not (for example) religion,
gambling, "specialist", etc. That's how Game Network found itself in
the Adult section.

Maybe those channels are changing their ways?

Why can't you? Repeating manual recording, every Sunday, 23.30 -
00.00, channel 0104. Job done.

I learn something new every day - thank-you - I've got too reliant on
the EPG.
