Hi BazzaG and Adrian,

Many thanks for your message about New Shows and Coming Soons.

Some of these shows i.e. Alert: Missing Persons, Question Everything and Karen Pirie have been added to New Shows previously and there does appear to be a glitch where they are not showing in your list. Unfortunately, Dan has other projects he is working on that are more pressing so he can't take time away to look at this issue.

In saying that, IceTV's policy on the New Shows and Coming Soon list has never meant to be a definitive list of all shows that meet these requirements and it has always been at the discretion of IceTV staff. It is the same with the newsletter with not every show making its way into the email. As you're aware, we are a small team and with our limited resources we can't be across every new show or season but where we can we will add to the list.

Shows that don't appear in the schedule within the next 7 days won't provide network or date information until they actually drop into the 7 day guide. As well, shows that run on from a previous season won't appear in the list as our database won't recognise it as a  New Show.


As well in most cases, we will add shows when they are brought to our attention. The shows that Bazza has highlighted have now been added to the list if they weren't already there.

Cheers,

Tiphanee

Thankyou Tiphanee, I see 'em in the list now.

I wasn't trying to suggest that it would be

I was referring to those TV shows that IceTV subscribers, which mostly appear to be Adrian & myself, are posted in this thread do get added to the list ... at least eventually.

Like I said, in my earlier post it would be really, really, really, ... nice to be able to search the IceTV guide not just be TV show name buy also by series/season & episode numbers and also whether or not they the Repeat flag attached.

So for example, I could search for, lets say, any show that has series/season one & episode one, etc. etc.

Thanks again.

I agree with position stated by @Tiphanee - not intended to be exhaustive listing. If it did it would become unmanageable. I am not convinced of the need to include in the listing when a new season is about to commence (those who like the program will presumably already have a series recording set - but this may fall-over when there is a change in network or LCN on which it is broadcast).

That would be very useful for some users of IceTV - I for one would like to be able to limit the seasons covered by a series timer.

Ian, I believe you mean a returning season. If a show was truly new then no one would have a recording already setup until it's been added to the IceTV DB ... unless you did so via a keyword definition. Which I have done in the past ... then deleted the keyword & added a series recording.

If this list was limited to just only brand new TV shows then I wouldn't have an issue if at the same time the new show is added to the IceTV DB it automagically gets added to the New Show list. Surely, that's doable.

There would be some issues for shows that have been off-air for many years. A good example is "The Great Outdoors" which has been off-air for 12 years. Even for me, that would be a "new" show (in terms of IceTV).

Matlock (starring Kathy Bates) starts on 10HD on Monday 4 November.

It is apparently a reworking of the previous series (starring Andy Griffiths).

It would be good if it could be added to the New Series page.

This one has the 'new shows' box ticked so I can't see why it's not appearing in the list. :( Unfortunately, Dan is on long overdue leave for the next few days so I can't find out if it is a technical issue because from a guide point of view everything is correct.
