The AM Show returned to TV3 last week and I did a Series Booking to record it on my Freeview PVR as I had done all last year.Everything appeared OK, the EPG indicated the Series Booking for each of…Continue

Hi Def on TV1

Like many, outside the Auckland/Northland, I was dissapointed to find that Hi Def on TV1 was limited to to the Auckland/Northland area.But wait!! This is being transmitted by satellite so it should be able to be received all over the country.And, yes it can!!. TV1 is transmitted four times over satellite. (Auckland, Waikato, Wellington and the South Island) This is only done so we all get appropriate regional advertising.... What a waste of bandwidth!!. And Sky don't do it..So if you are…See More

SKY Open EPG

Congratulations Sky TV.After a few days of the SKY Open EPG displaying NO programs after midnight on January 2nd 2024 some one has finally fixed the problem over night and programs are now listed.And yes, there were no programs listed on FREEVIEWNZ.TV either.I am surprised that nobody seemed to notice. Nothing on these Forums.And there is no option to contact SKY regarding problems with SKY Open their web site. Go Figure!!It's not like this EPG problem has happened before... Wait! Yes it has,…See More

Prime +1 on Satellite

Has anyone noticed that, after quite a few years, Prime has finally properly added Prime +1 to the Freeview Satellite line up (Channel 21).Prime +1 has been available on my DishTV for a few years. It showed up with a channel number in the 1000's and it seemed that the EPG was not in the Freeview MHEG format so no EPG could be displayed and no bookings could be made.Woo Hoo!!! Now Prime +1 is properly operating with its Freeview friends and has a working EPG.That won't take long, did it?See More

Alan Douglas replied to Adrian Harray's discussion Prime EPG

"That sounds strange. My satellite DIshTV S7090 (That does have more bugs than an ant hill.) has no problems with Prime or its EPG. Prime+1 comes up as 'Service Number 1015' on my S7090 and although the program information is…"

Alan Douglas replied to Adrian Harray's discussion Prime EPG

"Adrian, I think that the problem is that Prime+1 on satellite is not actually a Freeview channel. It has not been assigned a Freeview channel number nor does it transmit its EPG in the correct format. (MHEG 5) That is why the EPG does not display at…"

"Hi Oli, I thought that I would respond as I think that this Freeview forum seems to be a bit defunct. I don't have any experience with the Panasonic TV but I may have a couple of suggestions. I am assuming you can record and playback OK using a…"

"Wonders of wonders. The only person at mediaworks with some common sense has returned from holiday and the AM program is now listed as a single one hour show in the EPG. Big tick for Mediaworks, but it should have never happened in the first place."

Alan Douglas replied to Alan Douglas's discussion Recording The AM Show on TV3

"Deja Vu....... The AM Show has started again for 2022. Its name has changed to just AM but we are now back to the three hour show being listed in the EPG as three 1 hour programs. Doing a series booking on my PVR books all three to record but…"

Alan Douglas replied to Alan Douglas's discussion Recording The AM Show on TV3

"As of the last couple of weeks The AM Shows program title on the EPG has reverted back to just "The AM Show" (ie. the date has been removed.) I knew that the date thing would not last long. Did it? Common sense has finally come to…"
