TV Diary anomaly

[peterworks]

I have set up two recordings for today.



I set up Centurion on Great Movies manually and the other via the EPG.
However Centurion does not appear in the 'To be recorded' list.



Any clues ?

Sorry, TV Diary doesn't do ad-hock recordings very well. It's very EPG related.
It makes the linkage if you start part way through a show from the EPG, but it doesn't infer the EPG entry from the channel & time.
Primarily, it was to save me money from buying TV listings, and to avoid recording things I've seen before.
The aim was also to analyse what I'd watched, and how completely I'd watched it, to guide smarter recommendations. Today AI is more readily available & capable, but it could never have been done on the box. Sadly I lost 11 years of viewing data when my disk died recently.

@martxw Thank you for your response. As I said it is an anomaly and, as I know it happens, I can take it into account. I do find the TV Diary really useful mainly to ensure I am not recording stuff I have already seen (an age thing !)
Sorry to hear of your loss.
Thanks again
