Great minds think alike! Thanks both of you. Will try that the next time I turn the DVR on to watch something tonite, and report back ASAP. Right now it's unplugged, with the coax antenna disconnected, because I didn't know what else to do when it was still rebooting for me when I'd hit the My Recordings button. You've given me LOTS of hope again. I REALLY didn't want to reformat and lose everything I've been saving for the past year.

Thanks a lot Mark and CO_Bear. It worked great! Missing my TVGOS a bit, but I'll survive using PSIP data. wink.gif Clock is about 90 seconds behind in Houston.

Thanks again

One more tip that will come in handy. Since you want to keep old recordings, you may want to go into "Options" under My Recording first and sort your recordings by Ascending dates. This will allow you to keep all recordings listed above the "Bad one".

I love forums like this. I, too, recently ran into the same problem with my DTVPal rebooting because of a bad recording, although I didn't know that's what it was until I came here. I, too, had gotten to the point where I couldn't even get into My Recordings without the reboot and I don't if I ever would have figured it out myself. Thank you mabuttra and CO_Bear for your efforts in figuring it out and sharing the results.

I got hit hard by the DST bug this morning, with both overnight recordings an hour fast, and all timers screwed up. However, things got weird while I was watching a recording. About a half hour into the playback, the remote became totally unresponsive, but the green light continued to respond to the remote's button presses. I left it alone for a while, and the DVR proceeded to reboot after about 4 minutes. I checked the timers after the reboot, and they were all correct again. Good times.

The hour change happens today because we are exacly a month away from March 10, the day we advance our clocks.

Our DVRs receive a PSIP message with the day (10) but without the name of the month and perform the change today!

The DVR clock as well as the Guide move forward by 1 hour.

From last year experience, I think the best thing is to do nothing and hope that tomorrow things will be back to normal.

On mine, tonight's and this week's recordings' times look fine. However, next week's repeating schedule are all an hour behind. I will have to check them often to be sure if they need to be fixed. Also, all these recordings (five minutes padding before and after) were set from my TVGOS (still active in Los Angeles/L.A.).

I still do not have TVGOS in Washington DC. As of this morning, the logo has disappeared. The PSIP guide would be okay if it went out at least 24 hours. I may have to bite the bullet and buy a TIVO or build my own system.

Same happened to mine. I'm PSIP only BTW - TVGOS ended several weeks ago here.

I have tilted at this windmill a couple of times. Setting the day of month for the change today is an error on the part of the station but they don't believe it. Or in any case the manufacturer of the equipment they use doesn't.

I guess it is time once again to complain to each station (although only one has ever responded) and visit the FCC complaint web page again. I think that I am the only person complaining.

I didn't get a chance to check this forum last night, but I figured out to change to Ascending by myself, so that makes me feel pretty smart this morning. LOL! I never looked into Edit or Options before I read about it here, so this forum has really been useful. Once I recorded a short item last night, I was able to get into My Recordings as predicted, but I wanted to make a list on paper of everything I have on the HDD right now, before I tried to delete anything.
I did try the Select All, but I was trying to deselect one of the ones I wanted to save, and the DVR rebooted, so I gave up for the night. I have over 40 programs in the list, so I won't be able to see all of them on the same screen when I uncheck the boxes, and that kinda makes me nervous that I will accidentally delete one that I meant to save.
Everything on the list is protected though, except for 2 of the 3 pieces of the one I want to delete. Since I've never done this before, I'm wondering how the protected one will delete. Let's say I do this without unchecking anything, just hit Select All and then Delete. Will it only then delete the 2 unprotected ones that are the questionable ones? That would make things easier. Or would the Delete not work at all because most of the Selected ones are protected?
Do we know what caused this to happen in the fist place after never happening before? We aren't all in the same city and we weren't all recording the same program, so what happened Friday night that made a recorded program reboot the DVR for several of us? I wonder how many others with a Pal who don't know about this forum are going to scrap the machine thinking it can't be fixed. :-(

After a day of observations, I'm pretty sure the ROVI's "inserter" is still connected and running at KPIX premises; TSReader shows its PID 0x0111, my DLL shows TVGoS tables/packets, TR-50 does get TVGuide logo after rebbot but guide data.

It would be interesting to compare logs before Monday and after to catch what is missing; I'm collecting one for further investigation; I did start the morning after 8am and will keep it running for next 12 hours.

Unfortunately, without decoding internal data of each relevant packet, we couldn't say for sure, I'm expect to see if some ID missing or its size is reduced. That's would be simple check what could give us some clue.

Right now I see Time/ID98/ID100/ID26 for 5 min monitoring. Wanna see TSReader's snapshots or a log ?

On my Sony DHG-250, I am seeing

LastClkSet is 2/10/13 16:15 (current time displayed is 18:00 - GMT, I assume?)

LastDLStart is 2/5 17:11, LastDLTime is 2/5 17:38 (I am guessing those are related to listings)

so I also appear to be receiving clock data, but not listings.

Yes. The only time it would delete protected recordings is if you were to Format the HDD.

True. But some might find it simpler or more convenient to create the initial timer from the guide (even a guide that just says "no info") then edit it, rather than entering the date, start & end times, and the channel all manually. even though they'll end up with a manual timer either way. And I didn't want to complicate my explanation by getting into too many details, so I just threw in a note about the timer picking up the wrong show name if you edit it and it starts early.

I agree; this forum has been extremely helpful.

The other day one of my Pals went haywire, and my wife called me in to fix it. It was acting very strangely; you could change channels and the info box would pop up, but then go away in less than a second, and there was no picture or sound on any channel.

Before I started reading this forum I probably would have panicked; but instead, I calmly picked up the remote, pressed the Power button and held it down until the Pal started to reboot. Once it rebooted all was normal again! My wife thinks I'm a genius, but it's actually you guys & gals wink.gif

For sure timestamps are coming each 15 sec, I see it with +3 sec error ( by TSReader + DLL reports); my 3 hours log does show 26 different types of packets (I recall before I saw/got 27 types). If we could look inside of these ...

Comparing 05/19/12 and today's data, I see increase in numbers and sizes for 12 hrs runs.
So, the KPIX 'inserter" is alive and pushing TVGoS data, but the content is blocked for parsing by Sony or the DVRs.

Who is cheating us?!

Nothing. Less than 24 hours PSIP on everything, except channel 7 which has a teensy bit more. This blows

It's like having a VCR again. Manual programming, here I come.

Way to break something that worked like a charm for 5 years, Rovi. You dicks.

Is Rovi still in business?

Since when we bought these DVRs and TVs and everything else which had TVGOS as a benefit, doesn't that mean there is a legal commitment by ROVI and the manufacturer of our units to continue that service according to our original purchase agreement? Is there some potential here for a class action against not only Rovi but all manufacturers which included it as a function of their hardware?

Just wondering.... would rather have TVGOS back instead of some monetary refund... but maybe pressure is what would get us TVGOS back again?

This has been discussed multiple times in multiple topics related to TVGOS devices. The short answer is Rovi doesn't owe you anything, because you were never a customer of Rovi. The manufacturer of the DVR you bought was Rovi's customer, and if you read the documentation of your TVGOS-aware device, it has a disclaimer saying that TVGOS may not be available everywhere and to everyone. Some people lived in markets without a station to distribute TVGOS and never had access to it, and now that Rovi is discontinuing the service nationwide, everyone else falls under the disclaimer, too.

I left it alone for a while, and the DVR proceeded to reboot after about 4 minutes. I checked the timers after the reboot, and they were all correct again. Good times.

I'm in the NY market and turned my units on this afternoon and found the clock off by 1 hour ahead. I did a soft reset with the remote and the time corrected itself.

And then it quickly changed back. So I now changed the time zone from Eastern to Central and the clock so far is right.

The difference is that TVGOS was available to me when I bought the unit and the un-availability to me right now is not an OOPSY, just not available, but instead, a FRAK you, we are discontinuing it to you just to save money....

Any judge can and will see the difference between the two.

If I buy a car with anti-lock brakes, and the manufacturer has some troubled financial times in the future and discontinues the car software which continues to provide those anti-lock brakes, then that is legally pursueable as a breach of contract.... just as this is regarding TVGOS. Nothing is preventing Rovi from continuing to adhere to the contract we signed except they have decided our contract is now too expensive for them to continue to adhere to.

People like you provide logic. Others are happy you suffer. That is the difference. Rovi treated their customers very badly. the ceo never made a statement. It was we are better then you and we can do what we want. Many of us tried to rally support and go to the rovi facebook page to post our unhappiness. Yet some one here attacked me and others who did just that. What rovi did was morally and ethically wrong. The sony boxes are now $1000 door stops.
