We’ve noticed when trying to record programmes for tomorrow night (13/02/23) that again on BBC 1 whatever is on at 8pm is then showing as being on all the way through to 6am the following morning (10 hours). This time it’s Pamorama.

A couple of weeks back it was on a Friday evening. It’s not good if you don’t notice it before and you miss your shows. And if like us before you were recording the 8pm  show then it recorded for 10 hours!. 

Why does this happen? Any idea?

It's a guide error and it shouldn't happen, but I have seen the same behaviour myself.

First off, email details of the issue to tivoguideerrors@virginmedia.co.uk - the team won't generally respond, but might just have a chance of resolving this if you mail tonight and they pick it up first thing tomorrow.

There's a workaround, that you change your V6 series-link to be "all channels" rather than specifically BBC1-HD. The scheduling logic will now look for recordings on the BBC regional variations - the 86x Wales/Scottish/NI versions - first. If those have correct EPG data, then your V6 will record from those instead.

You can always change the SL back if you want afterwards.

Thank you, that’s very helpful. I’ll do that now.
