Channel Nine Melbourne are advertising new Big Bang Theory episode(s) starting Thursday evening on 9Go (probably only one new plus a repeat, but who knows...).

The IceTV guide still shows both episodes that evening as older repeats.

The same problem exists for the the Melbourne guide too - Channel 7, Monday night.

And with all the advertising Seven are doing, it's hardly a secret that "The Secret Daughter" will be followed by "The Catch" - the latter of which isn't even listed in the "Coming Soon" section of Ice.

On some devices (such as Toppys) if you also had Castle scheduled, it would have deleted Qantico, tried to reschedule at the new time, resulting in a clash with Castle, Castle would then be updated (unless you scheduled it for repeats as well). Not sure if this is what happened to you.

I record Castle as well, so this may be a possibility, but in that event I should have received an e-mail notification for a failed timer; no such e-mail arrived.  :-\

It also doesn't explain the three grey circles - this indicates the server has decided not to schedule a recording for some reason.

I have a series recording in place for Quantico.

It has successfully recorded every episode in the series up until tonight.

I happened to notice (but unfortunately only after the episode was half-way through) that my PVR wasn't recording it tonight.

Looking at "my week", the website shows three grey circles against the EPG entry. Why?  It's not a repeat, so why wasn't it scheduled for recording?

I'm seeing a number of movies appearing in the EPG missing the standard "Movie:" prefix in their title.

The prefix is visible in the guide on the website, but is not visible in the IceTV EPG on the Beyonwiz T3.

It is not affecting all movies at the moment (maybe only affecting movies updated after a particular point in time?).

Two examples for tonight (here in Melbourne) include:


  • Con Air - 7mate - 20:30
  • Thunderbolt - SBS TWO - 20:30

I've double-checked the "Remove "MOVIE:" prefix from movie titles in the Windows 7 guide" setting in my account settings and it remains unselected, as it has always been (though, going by the description, it shouldn't affect the T3 anyway, even if it was enabled).

SKIPPA / Re: IceTv in Voluntary Administarion
October 13, 2015, 12:25:23 AM
Despite being a long time IceTV subscriber with a registered e-mail address which successfully receives messages from IceTV, I haven't received any e-mails regarding the appointment of administrators, nor the latest query re: whether I would resubscribe to the EPG service. I've learned of both via the Beyonwiz forums.  ::)

I would express my interest in re-subscribing to the EPG service, but I have no e-mail and hence no link to click.

I wonder how many other people have also not received any communication and have absolutely no idea this is going on...

Beyonwiz / Re: BIG and GROWING gaps in EPG content

I've not done the clear, reload & resend, but the EPG is now filled in.

Whatever was corked up appears to now be uncorked.

... I contacted Ice Support in January and was told the interim API the T3 uses can't handle it ...
I don't know what that's supposed to mean. All that the function does is change one of the strings that is already displayed by adding a something like '[R]' to it. I don't know why that would change the API.

I agree. I have this feature configured to add the text to the description, but of course this has never actually happened.

This doesn't need an API change, it just needs the IceTV server sending the data to my PVR to honour the setting and add the flag text to the end of the description text.

Beyonwiz / BIG and GROWING gaps in EPG content
June 03, 2015, 07:56:15 PM
Since the switchover to the new backend servers (and all the attendant trouble with series timers) I've noticed large gaps in the EPG content.

Over the last few days I've noticed these gaps in coverage getting both more frequent and larger.

For example, the attached images show the EPG for a subset of Melbourne channels

       
  • EPG1.jpg is tonight's EPG - this looks pretty good
  • EPG2.jpg shows tomorrow nights EPG - this looks pretty horrendous
I used to be able to rely upon IceTV having a reasonably reliable EPG out to six or seven days in advance. Now I can't even see what's on tomorrow night.  >:(

Black Ops on ONE at 20:30 today (26/05/2015) in Melbourne is incorrectly marked as a repeat.

Melbourne, 18/2/2015 22:25 - Rectify - "The Great Destroyer" (Series 2, Episode 14)

Curiously, immediately beforehand is showing Series 2, Episode 13 "Weird as you" which is correctly marked as new (not a repeat).

Another bug currently evident with the IceTV integration on the Beyonwiz T3 is that updates to EPG entries are often resulting in additional entries in the EPG rather than updating the existing entry.

The attached screenshot of this evening's guide for ELEVEN shows several examples, e.g.


  • The same episode of Futurama is shown for both 20:00 and 20:05
  • The same episode of The Late Late Show... is shown for both 23:35 and 20:40
  • The same episode of Everybody Loves Raymond is shown for both 00:30 and 00:35
  • The same episode of The King of Queens is shown for both 01:00 and 01:05

Starting to see a pattern there....?

After observing this issue last week I disabled the IceTV plugin then re-enabled it and re-downloaded the EPG - the refreshed data was nice and clean but has steadily been polluted since with results as illustrated above.

Beyonwiz / T3 - incorrect EPG data in Melbourne
September 27, 2014, 03:35:08 PM
There appears to be a significant mismatch between the EPG data being sent to my T3 and the IceTV website itself.

E.g. the attached screenshots from my T3 show:

Channel 7, 19:00-21:00 - Brave
   - the IceTV website and Channel 7's website both show this starting at 19:30. IceTV has even set the timer on my T3 for 19:30.

Channel 7mate, 19:30 - 21:30 - Megastructures followed by Ultimate Factories
   - the IceTV website and Channel 7's website both show that it will be "The Italian Job" showing at this time.

The IceTV plugin log on the T3 shows EPG downloads occurring regularly. If I try to "Fetch EPG and update timers now" the log tells me there are "No EPG updates".

So - what gives???  >:(

P.S. My DP-P2 on the same account has the CORRECT data in its EPG.

They sent out an e-mail on Friday which said:

QuoteApple has just released an iOS software update. We have received some feedback that the IceTV app has compatibility issues on devices that have been updated to iOS 8.

An update to the IceTV app that fixes these issues will be available for download from the App Store within the next week.

I'd still post any specific bugs here though, just in case they've not seen it yet.
