Waiting 18 months for Lineup change!!!!!

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

I live in a little town in Nebraska, so things go pretty slow out here.

Our cable company moved a bunch of channels around, I'm sure it was
over a year ago. My Tivo, an old Phillips Series 1, still doesn't have
this.

Just checked some web guides, My Yahoo has the change, but I don't
think they've had it very long. TV Guide online still had the old
lineup, even after I registered.

So, I'm recording Smallville and Charmed from C-SPAN....hehehehe....

Oh, um, if it makes a difference, I'm not paying for Tivo on this box,
just doing manual recording......

Try doing a complete reset by repeating guided setup. You'll lose all of
your recordings, but if Tivo (via tribune media services) has the new line
up you'll get it.

Well let's see. You no longer pay for updates. What a shocker that it
doesn't update anymore.

Ah, I knew there'd be one voice of reason.

Actually, I've never paid for the service, after buying the box for
$100 on eBay. It got the channels right on initial setup, so I doubt
it matters for updating channels.

I don't even have a home phone, just cell, so I take it to my folks
once or twice a year to update the clock. I did guided setup about six
months after the channels changed but didn't get anything. Last week I
did a daily call which took ~45 minutes, but that was just a software
upgrade.

Guess I'll try guided setup again next time!

Thanks, Kenny!

Don't expect much sympathy from folks who are paying for their service.
