I have a Tivo Series 3 and a Tivo HD. On both of my systems, I was seeing channels that had a number in front of them (i.e. “1 Womens HD”). Any of these channels that had a number in front of them had no channel guide information and just stated “To Be Announced”.
I sent in a support request to TIVO about this issue. It took a few days before I got a response. That was a little disappointing since many companies are moving to speed up support responses (especially those via the internet). The answer solved 90% of these channels and now I have guide info for almost all of the newly added HD channels. I can still watch the few that don’t have guide info but I don’t know what is going to be on that channel in advance and can’t set up a recording.
The answer showed a short cut to getting to Channel Guide setup. There was also a bit that tells whether you are talking standard or digital channels.
For completeness, here is the info I recieved:
- Choose TIVO Central (usually by pressing the TIVO button)
- Select Messages and Settings
- Select Settings
- Select Channels
- Select Channel List
- Press the ENTER key
- Follow the onscreen instructions. The TIVO will ask questions regarding your channels and service.
- Ensure that you enter the proper zip code.
- Ensure that you enter the proper provider for your service.
- In the screen directly after you enter your cable provider, press the ENTER key. This will take you to a list of available lineups. In my case, I needed to choose <DIGITAL>.
- You will be given an opportunity to review the line up after you chose (note: it will not have the premium channels like HBO)
- Answer the remaining screens based on your service.
- It will take 10-30 minutes to reset this data so go do something else.
- Finished
