Old EPG STILL Here.

[ByTheCringe]

This morning, I forced a daily call, and have received another day's EPG, complete with a lineup change message, but no other message. EPG data up to 20 June. So where does that leave us? Could they be extending their service...

Don't forget the time difference between California and the UK - the data you just downloaded was prepared on the 31st May. Don't count your chickens until tomorrow!

The messages from tivo say the service will end on June 1st. So they may not switch it off until June 2nd.

I have data up to 21st June, Tivo made a call at 11.30pm last night

Same here

I doubt they have it as a high priority to shut this off the second they're supposed to. Surely they will just 'get around to it' sometime soon. Probably just after we all think they forgot

... the official TiVo service should see UK users through to July

Think I was right.

2 (or possibly 3) weeks doesn't really count as an "extension" in my eyes

Then think of it as a "grace period". Like the 7 days free data when you first got it

FWIW. Just done a guided setup on the old EPG system, it completed

Just think about that for a minute: you might be the last person in the country to do so!

More like a "stay of execution" perhaps

Interesting. My TiVo Next Scheduled Call time had been at about 3pm. Then yesterday I forced a daily call at about 8am, after which the next scheduled time was still 3pm.

I assumed that this morning I would find that a call had been made at 3pm yesterday, but it has just finished a call started at 8:11am. Normal successful call, another lineup change message, but nothing from TiVo Inc. about their intentions.

The next scheduled call time doesn't get changed until the downloaded data has been extracted and indexed, this can take some time. I did a test call followed by a forced call on an old tivo on Saturday around 6pm, the call status changed to 'succeeded' immediately data had been extracted but the next call was still showing 'Saturday 6.06pm' well after 8 o'clock. It eventually changed to Sunday about an hour later.

Ah, thanks, that explains that then.
