An example was Sunday night, the aussie dancing show was called "So you think you can dance Australia", then on Monday night it was called "So you think you can dance", without the Australia, therefore my wife missed out on her show. As we didn't get time to setup the recording for the NEW title, we also missed out on Monday nights recording.

We love the idea of the Guide and how easy it is to record things, but from now no we unfortunately will only use it for reference and not for it's FULL purpose

If anyone can suggest a way to make it better for us please let me know.

Cheers

P.S. until we get our Microsoft Support with people PAID to make efficient guides then I guess we can't do much.
Sorry to hear about your problems with scheduling "So You Think You Can Dance Australia" ... It's actually quite entertaining and I could understand the disappointment with missing out!

We do actively check and correct a lot of our data (Free*EPG feed), even after it has been checked by ozTiVo.net, but occassionally things do slip through, and those do tend to be new series. I believe in this case there may have been some confusion between the new Australian version and the American version (from about November 2006?).

Unfortunately we won't have a 100% accurate guide in Australia until all the TV Networks agree to making it available for download to digital recording devices.

Thanks,
