I have been using EyeTv software on an oder Mac for many years without an issue.
Yesterday when I went to do my regular update of guide and check for new recordings, I got message "Update failed, can"t connect to server".
Same thing this evening.
Is Ice TV still supporting that platform or is it an issue on my end?
Any help would be appreciated.

So, now that the replacement SSD's have been available and sent out, are users finding that it has been the "fix" for their bugs?
I watch these forums and have not seen any/much on how the IceBox is performing with the new drive installed.
Has it fixed most issues experienced by users? Or are there underlying Kodi problems?
Just would like to know before deciding on a purchase.

If I order an IceBox now with tuners, will it ship with the latest firmware updates or will I need to do those myself?
Particularly the SSD boot issue.
I know some configuration is required, half the fun.
Been watching forum, help is there. Some of us are not too tech savvy.
Is it all good to go out of the box?

I have a series recording set for "The 1% Club" and all have recorded fine.
Since I first created this recording schedule when I click "upcoming episodes" ( either through "manage series" or a "TV guide" search, I get the message "400 Bad Request".
This happens even if the episode was showing in "my week" as scheduled. Before and after being sent.
I have not encountered this before, found it strange. Tested on numerous others  in "manage series" and the message never appears.
I'm posting out of curiosity as to why this happens. A data base error? I have no idea on these things so any enlightenment will help. Thanks.

Received an email alerting me to the increase of the monthly subscription cost on Thursday 01/06.
No problem with that at all. I'm happy to pay the extra dollar.
Thanks Colin (MD) for the heads up.
That you have found time to do so (even if automated) whilst the team is trying to solve any and all issues with the IceBox is appreciated.

In new series, Taskmaster series 10 is showing, starting 06/06.
From the synopsis I am sure that I have watched this series,..but that might have been on You Tube.
Just curious if the contestant info/series number correct and if this has aired previously.

9HD 8:30 Wednesday 04/05.
The synopsis is showing the correct information, however this is episode 5, not episode 4 as is shown.
The 9;30 airing is correct, Episode 6.
Probably a Nine "mistake".
Just thought I would let you know.

I have "Land Of Primates"  set as first runs only but I get the same episodes showing in "My Week" the following mornings.
This has occurred for the past week.
Also when I checked "My Week" earlier tonight the schedules had changed, mainly Episode 1 starting tonight, 25/12.
I adjusted all schedules to suit, but when I went to watch it ,  a completely different program was recorded.
Upon checking "My Week" again it was showing as the first episode starting 26/12 as was original and all other schedules were showing as donuts, not sent to my device.
All other SBS services are usually very accurate in scheduling, nothing much changes, well nothing padding can't handle.
I am just curious as to why this is happening, is it another ploy from the networks to foil free to air recordings?
I notice that the commercial networks have done a lot to mess with this, and ABC are constantly adjusting irregular times. Again nothing that my padding can't handle.
But it really does stink of their efforts to thwart free to air recordings.

I have this series set as a first run recording.
It is showing as a first run on ABC PlusKids Wednesday 01/12. Series 1 episode 1. Roger Daltry.

I know that I recorded this (series 1) before. But I stupidly erased all episodes before watching.
I have it set to record as a first run and it is showing to record as such.
But surely it is a repeat, unless it is now showing on a different network/channel.
Just perplexed, not complaining. At least now I can catch them all again.
And not repeat my accidental deletion.

I read the "what's on this weekend" email very bleary eyed early Friday morning.
I am sure that I saw a listing of this movie, but deleted mail before it registered that I should record it. What day/channel/time.

I have searched the icetv guide and all other guides but have found no listing for this.
Was it an error or am I missing something in my search.
I love Tarantino films so any help would be appreciated.

Something strange is going on.
According to the Ice TV web guide and SBS's own guide, Perth region, on Wednesday 05/05 from12pm until 11:30 pm, they are showing nothing but repeats of the movie "The Fifth Element".
I have been waiting for a time slot for this so as to not interfere with other recordings and thought this one would do.
That movie has been on repeat screenings on Viceland quite often, but not 5 repeats consecutively on the same day.

Unusual for them not be showing usual their early evening line up.

I will keep an eye on the guides to see if changes are made.

I saw the post about repeat flags not sticking to some shows and that you are aware of this, looking into it.
The ones that constantly show up on for me in "my week" are;
Wednesday night premieres of - Diesel Brothers & Iron Resurrection on 9 rush Perth- Pawn Stars on 7 mate Perth.

The same episode for these (with series, episode and description the same as Wednesday)  are always appearing as premieres in all (obviously repeat slots) on Thursdays in early morning and afternoon. Diesel Brothers also late night.

I know you are working on this, but just letting you know of the main ones I am noticing.

I can understand having some bugs with an update, willing to wait it out.
I can usually work out what is a repeat and is a premiere.
But most shows are still only showing a generic description of schedules in My Week ( Perth guide )
With no season, episode number nor year it is getting difficult.

My Week is showing that QI on Wednesday 25/11, ABC HD 10:20 pm is Quills.
However when I look at the description it is showing as Quagmire, a repeat.
Quills has not shown before so a premiere, Quagmire is a repeat as the description states.
This time slot for QI on ABC is usually for first runs.
One of the entries is incorrect, could you look into this please.

I have a series recording set for "8 out of 10 cats" first runs only, and a seperate series recording set for "8 out of cats does countdown" first and repeats.
These are different shows, and I know the difference.
I exclude recordings of".....does countdown" that I have seen before, so when "8 out of 10 cats" showed as a new show, I thought good, let it record. There was a schedule change reflecting the length of show only which made sense as these are usually longer  than the first posted time.
I adjusted my recording to suit, but when I went to watch it found that it was a recording of an older episode of "....does countdown" with half an hour of unwanted recording at the end.

These are different shows and should be differentiated in the icetv guide/scheduling.
I have them scheduled as series not keyword.

The Block 2020- Wed. 30 Sept. 2;00pm/Thurs. 1 Oct. 2;00pm are scheduled to record as first runs, I am sure they are repeats.

The Block> Monday 7.30 pm is not scheduled to record as it is flagged as a repeat.
This is a premier: season 16 episode 9.

Been in new shows for some time, SBS advertising this as starting on 06/07.
I could be wrong.

9Rush is advertising a new series of American Chopper, 7:30pm Thursday 02/07.

Fresh Eggs as a new show is appearing on icetv guide as episodes 1 & 2 on Sunday, 30 minutes each. Then on Wednesday Episode 2 again shows as 60 minutes.
Online guides show this series as episodes lasting around 43 minutes.
Is this correct or am I misguided?
