I like HGTV.

HGTV was unavailable / not seen by the Tivo EPG for months (years ?)..

Now Tivo announces they are stopping the service & guess what ? HGTV is now available as at 30/3/2017.

Me not happy chappy.

AAAGHH - Ive done a signal scan - HGTV was received but bad quality. & now HGTV not found :(

Not a not happy chappy not ni am.

The same aerial will also be used by whatever you replace the TiVo with though, so you'll still get the benefit.

It seems HGTV is back now - was gone for over a year & now re-appeared.

Took a day or so to settle back in, but it seems to be staying on..

Hopefully it stays on...

I did notice that in my upcoming schedule on channel 36 APNA, there is a 4 hour "movie" on at 2 a.m. sunday. dont know what it is though.. i may delete it as i dont watch Apna.

HGTV all good for me and nice their EPG is active which I knew they had been working on since day one. Pity it will have a limited shelf life.

You can always block Apna if you don't watch it so TiVo will ignore it. Go Messages & Settings / Settings / Channels / Channel List, select Apna from list, click Select to untick it then across to Finished.

Working for us. Wife is happy.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

This channel has also just appeared in my Tivo EPG

Seems odd that they have sorted it out when their service is ending soon? I did email them a few months back to ask them when we could expect EPG for HGTV and here is the response I got:

Thank you for contacting TiVo Support.

We have contacted our EPG provider who is working with broadcasters to get the updated information.

We do not have a time frame yet, but we are hopeful it will be soon.

For any future enquiries related to this issue please reply to this message leaving the reference number in the subject.

Regards,

TiVo Support

Yes I noticed that the EPG just appeared a couple of days after this post.
