This isn't only happening with The Big C. When I get another one I will post.

Interestingly I have also had first run shows have repeat in the text but still record (thankfully!).

Okay,  can anyone explain this? Ice has Secret Millionaire and Cold Case listed for Gem on Tuesday night and Top Gear on Win. Media Centre has Top Gear listed for both.

I originally set Top Gear to record on Gem as it is in HD. Media Center is still showing this as recording yet Ice has individual recordings for Secret Millionaire and Cold Case.

I looked at Thursday night and the Media Centre guide appears to reflect the differences between the channels. the two guides are frequently different but this one i really cant understand...

I have been having this problem for quite a while. I have also noticed that times will be out by 1 minute in WMC which causes a scheduling error with Ice. The only way I have found to overcome this is to set series recordings in WMC.

 I have had a few strange issues for a while, and some really weird ones i think since ABC added channel 24. While it is a painful process, completing the steps below has solved most things (including it appears the high idle CPU usage). Give it a go and see what happens.

To fix the current channel information. You will probably need to reset the Media Center database and then re-setup the guide within Media Center.

To do this, the first thing to do is close IceTV Interactive, and then delete the files in the "3.0" directory. You should also ensure that Media Center itself is closed. Then in the start menu search for "Task Scheduler" and run it, on the left hand side expand "Task Scheduler Library" and then "Microsoft" and then "Windows" and then select "Media Center". From the middle window select "MediaCenterRecoveryTask" and right click on it, then select "Run". This will reset Media Center back to defaults.

You should then go to the IceTV website and under the My Account section on the Interactive tab on the left hand side select the option to re-send all recordings. At this stage if you are looking at getting information for the ABC News 24 channel you should also re-enable the channel under the My Account page of the IceTV website.

You should then go through the initial setup of Media Center again as per the instructions at http://www.icetv.com.au/cgi-bin/websupport.cgi?op=show_faq&faq_id=154&faq_cat_id=30#configuremce

i am running the same.  Ice doesnt need to know about the number of tuners but I have had some problems. Mainly they relate to phantom timers and the guide data not matching up.

I don't see how this could be daylight saving related (but admit i could be wront) as i have had the same problem and the shows were showing up before DST.

Okay, comma I can live with but the Win7 Ice guide has not got 24 listed at all! It shows as a repeat of Ugly Betty, hence I would have missed 24 this week! This seems to happen frequently where the Media Centre guide is different to the website version. Yes, inband is disabled and I have the correct '-IceTV' channel selected.

Seconded. i just had Media Centre freeze on me and i believe the problems (not the first time I have had performance problems with MC) are related to the large amount of CPU Ice chews up.

Some information/suggestions would be much appreciated.  ;D

The first episode was the one that recorded (I think, "Life After Death"). Without spoiling the outcome, the one dealing with the aftermath of the ambulance explosion.

ER this Thursday has been marked as a repeat. Looking at the episode info it doesn't sound like a repeat at all. Series recordings may be affected.

The Canberra Times Weekly guide for this week has "To be notified" for Prime for the whole of tonight (Sun 7 Feb) from 18:30 to 00:30. If the network has no idea what's on, it's not too sorprising that IceTV's a bit wonky, too.

No, that's not the problem (for me at least). Interactive (ie. the website) has had pretty accurate guide data. However, Media Center has had different data on a couple of occasions.

i have noticed this week that the guide seems to be off. However my series recording for seven local news still recorded (as seven news). I have had problems this week with Win too.

For some reason the Interactive website does not match the guide data being sent to Media Centre on Win 7.

I'd like to add to this and resurrect it if possible. I have just noticed something peculiar between Ice and MC in Win7.

I have House set as a series record and all is showing nicely in Interactive. In MC though the first episode is recording correctly for this Sunday night but the second one is being recorded as the Star Wars movie. Thinking the guide may have been out of date I updated this but no change to the recording. The second House is now in the guide (but showing as no data!) however the movie is still being recorded instead of House.

I have also noticed another instance of the MC guide not matching what is on Interactive - the WIN news at 6pm.

Help and ideas anyone?

I have the same problem from time to time. I changed from a wireless to a wired connection which seemed to help some. The only thing you can do is turn the Topfield off wait and restart. It may also fix itself if you change from Ice to Air but not always. The problem is with the Topfield. Check out the iTopfield forums for more help.

Are you using wireless or wired?
