When I looked in the iPhone app this morning, there was nothing in My Week, Recommended or New Series, but there was in TV Guide. Swiping down in My Week to force a reload didn't help. I tried Settings>Reset Application, but all that did was remove the data in the TV Guide, so that now none of the IceTV data pages show any data.

I can still access everything in my IceTV account Web pages, so I don't think it's an account issue.

I also don't think that this is a problem with the new version of the iOS app, either, because I haven't had any problems with the new app version until today.

Movie: The Dish 9HD, 9:15pm, Tue, 11 Jun

From the synopsis: "Man is about to land on the moon for the very first time and the spooks at NASA want Parkes' radio telescope to relay TV signals!"

Has someone confused NASA (space research) with the NSA (signals intelligence)?

I don't recall any spooks, whether spies or ghosts, in The Dish :)

World On Fire 'Series 2, Episode 4' SBS HD, 10:35pm, Fri, 14 Jun
is marked as first run. I think it's a repeat.

Both my What's On This Week and iPhone app Recommended (ACT region) have movies listed that aren't on this week (Mon 3 Jun-Fri 7 Jun):

Listed for Monday next week:
The Secrets We Keep
- Actually in IceTV guide on Sat 8 Jun

Listed for Tuesday next week:
Maigret
The Third Murder
- Both are actually in IceTV guide on Sun 9 Jun

Listed for Tuesday next week:
Rabbit-Proof Fence
The Burnt Orange Heresy
- Neither is in the IceTV guide yet.

Why do movies and shows that aren't in the time span of the app (and now on What's On) keep showing up in the lists?

The Recommendations for the ACT region for this week in my iPhone app are almost all missing. The only item showing is Eurovision Song Contest, listed as "Coming Soon", but it has already come and gone.

I've tried manually updating the IceTV data with a swipe down in My Week, and by doing Settinge>Reset application, but neither has any effect on the problem.

Also, if I swipe left or right from the Recommendations screen with only the one item in it, I end in a black screen, and left or right swipes do nothing, and a swipe from the left edge of the screen, which would normally take me back to the app home page, also does nothing. I think that this issue is probably unrelated to the issue of the missing content in Recommendations, except, perhaps, for the fact that there is only one item in the swipeable list.

From the black screen, the only way back to the app home page is by using the "< Home" button in the title bar of the screen.

Even though tonight is the third episode of the season of Silent Witness currently showing on ABCTV, it's still being listed in Recommended in (at least) the ACT in the the iPhone app.

I've tried doing a Settings>Reset application to force a full IceTV data reload, but Silent Witness is still listed in Recommendations for me.

The Suspect, 'Series 1, Episode 1', ABC TV HD, 11:05pm, Sun, 7 Apr
and its simulcast on ABC TV is marked as a repeat. The episodes S1E2-S1E5 that follow directly after it are correctly (I think) marked as first run.

Strangely, the ABC Web EPG shows all 5 episodes as repeats (on both channels).

Sorry I didn't raise this earlier, I only just noticed it.

EDIT: ACT IceTV region

The Blacklist 'The Whaler' 7flix on Prime, 11:30pm, Sun, 10 Mar

This is S10E2 of The Blacklist, but AFAIK, all episodes of The Blacklist have been shown on Australian FTA, so surely this is a repeat.

In  case the IceFolk haven't already noticed, the certificate for *.icetv.com.au expired yesterday (2 Mar 2024).

Whitstable Pearl, 'The Offer' 9Gem, 9:40pm, Mon, 4 Mar

Is marked as a repeat. I don't think it is.

For some reason, Prime7 Canberra is showing some sort of Australian surveillance cameras show, followed by Border Security International, in The Chase's normal timeslot (today, 12 Feb, 15:00-16:00).

The error doesn't seen to be IceTV's. yourtv.com.au is also showing The Chase in that timeslot.

No idea what they might do tomorrow.

This week in the ACT IceGuide, S3E15, S3E17 & S3E19 of Chicago P.D. are marked as repeats, but S3E16 (2:30am, Tue, 13 Feb) & S3E18 (3:00am, Sat, 17 Feb) are marked as first run.

Surely they're all either first run or repeats, and since IMDb shows S3 of Chicago P.D. being released in 2015/2016, it seems "all repeats" is more likely.

Ocean Wreck Investigation, 'Assassins Of The Deep', SBS VICELAND HD, 6:40pm, Sun, 4 Feb

Is marked as first run, but I'm pretty certain that it's a repeat: we already had a series recording set for it, this episode is S1E1, and I remember seeing it, particularly the part about U480 "the world's first stealth sub".

Also, SBS has (now, at least) marked the episode as a repeat.

It's probably too late now but 7bravo is actually showing MOVIE: Wimbledon at 20:30, not what's in the ACT IceGuide, Tennis: Wimbledon, because it's still winter in the UK, and Wimbledon isn't on yet.

The Blacklist, 'The Skinner, Conclusion', 7flix on Prime, 11:30pm, Mon, 29 Jan (S9E2)

Surely this is a repeat, since the last ever Blacklist has already screened in Australia.

Under The Dome 'Caged' S3E6 9Go!, 12:15am, Tue, 23 Jan

Is marked as first run. Surely it's a repeat?

The Promise 'Movie: The Promise' SBS World Movies, 8:30pm, Sat, 16 Dec
... is marked as a series, but, as the "episode name" suggests, it's an unrelated movie.

I've had a queued series recording set for it by the old series recording we created for the original series.

I'm not sure whether this can be easily fixed without messing up people who've inadvertently set a new series recording when they tried to set a recording for the movie. At least it hasn't yet appeared in Ice Picks (if it ever was going to).

These seem very likely to be repeats:
The Blacklist 'The Wellstone Agency', 7flix on Prime, 11:30pm, Sun, 26 Nov
The Blacklist 'Chemical Mary', 7flix on Prime, 12:30am, Mon, 27 Nov
but they're flagged as first run.

The Night Logan Woke Up, Series 1, Episode 5, SBS HD, 23:00 Wed, 15 Nov 2023
"To everyone's surprise, Julien finally shows up to reveal the truth about what happened the night Laurier Gaudreault woke up."

The character who is called Laurier Gaudreault in the French soundtrack of the series is called Logan Goodyear in the English subtitles. The original name of the series is La nuit où Laurier Gaudreault s'est réveillé - The Night Laurier Gaudreault Woke Up, but for whatever reason, Laurier is given a different name in the English subtitles. It makes the synopsis confusing because Logan/Laurier is a central figure in the series.

I know that the synopsis comes from SBS.

The Betoota Advocate Presents synopsis says "There's news, fake news, and satyrical news. The Betoota Advocate falls squarely in the last category."

Satyrical? Not from what I saw in the first episode! Satirical, sure, but this?
