TiVo
Problem Wizard
TiVo
is recording repeat episodes of programmes that it has already recorded,
or is missing out some episodes that it should record.

Actions
|
| If you are using
the "First Run" Season Pass option then note that
this option does not stop you recording repeats. It is intended
for use where a channel is airing two series simultaneously
- a new one and an old one. A good example is Stargate SG1 on
Sky1. Here there is often a new series being run once a week,
and an old series being run concurrently at other times. Selecting
First Run Only in this case should just record episodes in the
new series. As a general rule leave this option on "First
Run and Repeats" unless there is a good reason to change
it. Repeats are stopped by the 28-day rule which is an automatic
process, but also reliant on good guide data. If you have already
recorded an episode of a programme with the last 28 days then
TiVo will not record it again (unless specifically asked to).
So for example, if you have a Season Pass for Enterprise on
Sky1, and you recorded the Monday episode, then TiVo will no
re-record it on the Sunday when it is repeated. If it wasn't
recorded on Monday (say because another programme with higher
priority was recorded) then it will get the repeat on Sunday
instead. The technical info on how First Run works is: a "First
Run programme" is ANY program that is airing within 28
days of the program's "Original Air Date" field and
has not been previously recorded. The "Original Air Date"
field can be viewed by pressing the ENTER key when viewing the
programme's details. |
| Use the "Recording
History" menu item in the "To Do" list to see
why TiVo is not going to / did not record an episode. It may
for example conflict with another recording. |
| TiVo relies heavily
on good guide data. If you think there is a mistake then call
customer services to report it on 08702 41 84 86. |
