Why am I getting recordings of BBC News at Six? Also a Pointless issue

[Ian_AW]

G'day,

All of a sudden I am getting the BBC News at Six recorded.

I have never done an immediate recording of it and I have never setup a series recording or a once off recording of it either.

When I check with the iOS app or on the web, there is no timer to delete. It kooks as though when the first IceTV fetch of the day is done IceTV is setting.

There is something similar happening with Pointless. Here I do have a series recording for new and repeats, but as I understand it, an episode will not be recorded if it has been recorded in the last 24 hours.

This is fine as the program is recorded at 2 pm. This should mean that episode should not be recorded until 2 pm the next day, only it gets recorded at 7:25 am the next day again.

With the BBC News at Six, I have no timer to delete.

With Pointless, I have deleted the timer, removed it as a favourite and then waited until the timer was deleted from the timer list and then waited an hour before I created a fresh timer and checked that the correct episodes were being selected, but the next day, it starts recording the duplicate.

Is there something I'm missing?

Am I correct in my recollection that the first screening is on 9HD and the subsequent one of 9GemHD? Cannot see why different LCN would make a difference.

Have you checked in your account that in you Guide Settings you have selected "Enable Timer Conflict Avoidance" which also prevents duplicate recordings. I think the time frame for duplicate is a week rather than 24 hours.

There are some issues with deletion of timers with IceBox (which @Daniel Hall is working on), but I doubt that this is the causes.

Yes, the two channels were different but it is only the next day that the recording was getting added.

I have now set the timer to 9HD only so hopefully, that should fix it.

I did have Enable Timer Conflict Avoidance ticked.

So, now to why I am getting BBC News st Six recorded when I have never recorded it through IceTV or otherwise.

Thsnkd.

Absolutely no idea why you are seeing this. I have a dim recollection of someone reporting a similar issue before, but cannot recall the details. I may even have seen it myself during pre-release beta testing, but that may just be "senior's moment" inspired recollection.

It may be time to contact IceTV technical support (clearly not a hardware issue).
