Post subject: Season Pass (new Samsung, Season Pass missing episodes) Archived from groups: alt>dbs>directv, others (more info?)

Hello
Long story short.....I have a Direct TV 35hr Samsung in my living room, and
just received my 2nd 35hr Samsung for my family room. My current 35hr
TiVo works perfectly in all aspects. I just finished activating my 2nd
35hr Tivo, and, it works perfectly----except for Season Passes. For
instance, I set-up a Season Pass for "The Simpsons" (which is on twice a
night).........I set the Pass to record ALL EPISODES, and click
"SELECT"----then, I click on upcoming episodes and the Pass lists ZERO.
But, when I go to the guide, the episodes are there and I have to manually
record them.
Now, is this just a 1st day set-up glitch....and, after a 24hr period or so
the Season Pass will see all the episodes??? Or, is my TiVo messed up??
Not all Season Passes are incorrect.....mostly local channel Season
Passes......however, some Cable Network passes are also not accurate. I
have called into the TiVo service via the phone connection---as well as
unplugging the TiVo and plugging back in.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Regards, John |

Yeah, give it a day before letting panic set in. Has to finish downloading
10 days or so of guide info, then index it all, then start building a ToDo
list. |

Wait 48 hours and come back. There is a difference between the DirecTV guide
and the Tivo guide ... they are two different streams of data. It takes about
48 hours to get all the guide data out two weeks for Tivo [and season pass]
purposes.
