The good news is that it's handling recording ok as for some reason the guide on the Skippa is showing programme timing as 1 hour out - so at 9.50am the Skippa and its programme guide are quite happy thinking its 10.50am and the 9.50am (real time) programmes are being recorded

I thought that as well, until I noticed that the guide corrects itself later in the day.

After some investigation I've found that the guide adjusts itself around 2:00pm today - shows around that time are showing one hour shorter than they should be. e.g. MKR episode running from 1:00pm-2:20pm is showing as 2:00pm-2:20pm. The same applies to all other channels.

So I believe that any timers after 2:00pm will be out 1 hour - so we still have a problem, unless the Skippa time also adjusts itself at 2:00pm.

Perhaps the DST time adjustment is 12 hours out?

Didn't the series finish up this time last year? If so, how could they be new?

I know I've watched the final episode, and don't recall downloading it.

The UK (original) version of Shameless ran from 2004 to 2013 - I watched the final episode years ago.

The US remake started in 2011 and continues to run.

Therefore if these are the UK version then they are definately repeats.

I was wondering the same thing.

I did test recordings of 9HD on the Skippa and Beyonwiz due to possible recording issues reported by others.

The recording was ok however it showed a ! where the ad-skip-processsed icon normally appears on the Recordings list.

Having put my card details back in I now realise that the expiry date has reverted to the original grace period date.

All data feeds are now working again for me.

I was thinking putting my details in would debit my card immediately. Not sure why I thought that would set the expiry to 7 days from now - blame early morning befuddlement.

So it looks like the overnight payment facility change has just reset everyone's expiry date to today, and by updating the card details it will revert back to next week, when the first payment should come out.

Woke up this morning to find my IceTV XML feed showing all shows as "Expired".

The Skippa also won't connect to IceTV, saying the account is expired.

Logged into my IceTV account and it is showing "Your subscription expired on November 05, 2015", whereas yesterday it was showing as a week away. The account is set to auto-renew.

Update: I checked my account's Auto-Renew section and found all my card details were gone and Auto-Renew was disabled.

I've updated the details and the account is active again, showing expiring in 5 days - not 7?!?!

Looks like the one week grace period has failed somewhere.

All good now, following a restart.

Thanks again Daniel and Dave.

I've also just realised that TVS (ch14) data is completely missing on both the Skippa and Beyonwiz, however it does appear in the apps and browser.

It sounds like you have mixed up two channels with similar names and similar channel numbers.

• Network Ten's channel 14 is TVSN (Television Shopping Network) and IceTV doesn't provide guide data for shopping channels.
• Sydney's community channel is TVS (Television Sydney) on channel 44 which IceTV does provide guide data for.

Thanks Dave.

I rarely watch TVS but I knew it normally had EPG data, and that there was a "4" in the channel number. I just assumed they were one and the same - I obviously didn't scroll down far enough to see TVS at 44.

What a confusing name similarity!?

I've only just realised that the guide for Ch9 and GEM (Sydney) is showing "Unavailable" for all of this week, with the exception of 1 or 2 shows listed each day - mainly movies. The data appears to be complete after 19:00 Saturday.

Strangely, GO data seems to be complete all week.

This is happening on the Skippa guide only - Beyonwiz, Toppy, Win Phone app, iPad app and browser all appear to have complete data for these channels.

I've also just realised that TVS (ch14) data is completely missing on both the Skippa and Beyonwiz, however it does appear in the apps and browser.

Is there any way to force the Skippa to reload all EPG data without doing a Reset, which drops and rescans all the channels, etc?

updated to 1.1.10604 the series recording bug is still there when you try to set a series recording by the remote the skippa dose not connect to the server. everything thing else seams to be working good.

I had the same problem, but only with one particular show on SBS.

Using the remote I could create series without a problem at other times on SBS, and on other channels. However every time I tried to create a series for "Rise Of The Machines" using the remote the server conneciton message would stick on and all I could do was turn the Skippa off/on.

If I created the series from the web app (iPad and/or Win Phone) then it worked fine.

I could also remove that series using the remote.

I don't know if it is a clue or a coincidence, but this was the longest named series I had on the Skippa. All others series created using the remote had titles less than 15 characters.

If you can connect the Toppy via USB to a PC you can use TED/S to transfer the ICE EPG and set timers.

As an original Toppy user I've been using this for more years than I can remember - the Toppy is my primary PVR with the Wiz as secondary, mainly for the HD channels. I even keep a spare Toppy in case the original dies!

You can use TED/S with reduced functionality for free, or for $20/year it can do everything that ICE does and much more. It also has an application to auto-transfer recordings off the Toppy - TrecX.

Get it from http://home.exetel.com.au/trappett/teds/

There is also freeware which detects if the Toppy is running and automatically runs TED/S at set times of the day. Can't recall the location ATM but respond here if interested.

I'm still getting alerts when a timer recording is manually terminated before the due end time.

Some feedback for you....

Firstly, thanks for this feature.

Issue 1: I stopped a timer recording half way through as I decided I no longer wanted it. A few minutes later I received one of the new alerts indicating that the timer had failed.

Issue 2: I had 2 consecutive timers set for the same channel (20:30 and 21:30). At 21:33 I received an email alert saying that the first timer (20:30) had failed, even though the show had actually recorded correctly (albeit without end padding due to the second timer kicking in).

Equipment is a Beyonwiz.

Hi Judy.

John forwarded your plea for help to me, so he does listen, even if he can't help.  :)

I have emailed you directly for phone contact details.

Can ICE advise what their channel ID will be in the EPG data for GO in Sydney, please?

I am aware the channel is 99, but I need the ID that ICE will be passing in the data.

Thanks.
