Am I having a TiVo issue?
My TiVo says that it has successfully connected to the Internet as recently as a few hours ago, but my channel guide hasn't updated in days, and is currently scheduled to run out of information by Monday. Is the issue TiVo or is Spectrum simply being slow about updating its listings for TiVo? --Bob

Re: Am I having a TiVo issue?
I have an odd problem: one of my Tivos has no listings for next Tuesday through Friday, but the other one (a different model) does. Two weeks ago, the other Tivo had no listings for two days.

Could this be a subtle way of telling you that you haven't paid your cable bill?Bob78164 wrote:My TiVo says that it has successfully connected to the Internet as recently as a few hours ago, but my channel guide hasn't updated in days, and is currently scheduled to run out of information by Monday.

Re: Am I having a TiVo issue?
My Dish converter boxes, which convert digital to analog signals, also provide a viewing guide from Dish network. I pay Dish network nada. Some days the guide is available via one box & not the other.
Disconnecting & reconnecting a box can get the guide back. It will also get back a signal when the signal is frozen or gone. I learned this all the hard way, i.e. through experimentation.
I would bet these boxes, & your TiVo are set to scan for programs on a regular schedule, & sometimes they miss a scan.

I just got off the phone with TiVo because they stopped doing whatever's necessary for the commercial skip feature to work. They said to give them 7 to 10 working days to fix it.Bob78164 wrote:My TiVo says that it has successfully connected to the Internet as recently as a few hours ago, but my channel guide hasn't updated in days, and is currently scheduled to run out of information by Monday.

TiVo gets their program guides from a 3rd party. I would reboot your unit.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Am I having a TiVo issue?
Thanks. I'll give that a try if no new program information appears in a couple of days. --BobBob Juch wrote:I just got off the phone with TiVo because they stopped doing whatever's necessary for the commercial skip feature to work.
