Hello IceTV, it's too late to fix now, but in case you hadn't heard, there's an election in WA today and we're not getting national programming as indictated via the EPG.  The cynic in me would say that this wouldn't be the case if it was in NSW or Vic  >:(

Very well put!  8)

Agreed 100%.

Mitch, will do.  Appreciate your response.  Now that I have 'Interactive' working with the new BW firmware, you'll hear from me more often!   ;)

Edit:  I've done some research and this appears to be a Perth Channel 7 thing, which explains it.  Apologies to ICE TV, I don't expect you to pick that crap up.

------------------------

Again, there is a discrepancy in what's shown in ICETV on the Beyonwiz (and on ICE's home page) and reality as well as what's listed on Yahoo 7.

As I wasn't believed last time, here's what's shown on Yahoo7 this evening:
             
Seven
             
Better Homes and Gardens G (60) 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Fawlty Towers PG (40) 8:30pm - 9:10pm
The Vicar of Dibley PG (35) 9:10pm - 9:45pm
Dangerous Minds M (120) 9:45pm - 11:45pm
        
          
7HD
        
Fawlty Towers PG (40) 7:30pm - 8:10pm
The Vicar of Dibley PG (35) 8:10pm - 8:45pm
Pirates of the Caribbean M (180) 8:45pm - 11:45pm

However, IceTV (and the ICE EPG) shows "Panic In The Ring Of Fire" on 7HD at 7:30PM, followed by "Ross Kemp on Gangs" at 8:30PM.

To be fair, it's now 8:52PM and the promo on 7HD just said "Vicar of Dibley next..." so who knows that the f*** is going on?

In addition to this, the ICE site and my ICE EPG) was showing NASCAR on TEN HD, which didn't happen (was the Footy when I checked it).

So, what's the problem guys?

Simon....

Mitch, firstly, thanks for your response (sincerely).  Secondly, I'm not sure which 'dig' to respond to first.

This was posted on TV Tonight on the 21st of April:  http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/04/axed-michael-palins-new-europe.html

and this thread on the popular DTV Forum:  http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?s=&showtopic=65177&view=findpost&p=1036075

Now, I realise you have your day job, but surely keeping up with industry news is a pretty prime part of your job description?

Anyway, re the other 'digs'.  I probably didn't make it clear, but the Tigers thing was on the HD channel and Great Outdoors and then Fawlty Towers was on the SD channel.  The IceTV Guide had it showing as Fawlty Towers and then something else (not Great Outdoors).  The whole of the HD channel was 15 minutes later than reality.  IceGuide didn't have the correct line up for the SD channel. 

Now that we've addressed that 'dig', I will reserve my decision to continue my subscription (I have already terminated automatic renewal) and see what happens over the coming months.

One parting dig back at you - smart-arse comments to the customer aren't the best way to keep their business.

Guys, can you please explain why I am paying for a guide that's not updated when TV stations make changes a week before broadcast?? 

I knew about "Michael Palin's New Europe" being pulled and replaced by a stupid show about tigers, but IceTV didn't show this change even though it was public knowledge a week ago. 

Related to this change, Ross Kemp's Gangs program started 10 minutes early vs IceTV's guide and IceTV's guide bore no resemblence to reality against the 7's SD channel (Great Outdoors was on before Fawlty Towers, not the other way around).

What's going on?  Will this be improved or should I use the TV stations EPG's now (they were correct, as I viewed them myself) instead of 'wasting' my money?

[hang out]

Hi, my name's Simon and I'm an alcoholic...  Oops, wrong forum!  Sorry, pinched that off someone else  ;)  I guess there's not a lot of point in posting here at the moment, other than to say that IceTV is working fine on my Wizza, but I am hang out for PIMP to be fully functional.  Come on BW, hurry up with that firmware upgrade!   :-*
