any other users something similar lately? The EPG used to have time slots but no titles. Now TV3 and Prime are missing are mssing both.

Changing location to Other brings back the time slots, but no tvtv EPG.

I still have the time slots on TV3 and Prime on PlayTV, up until 11.00pm 03/04/2012
They have full stops in each listing.

It's becuase tvtv has added those channels to its listings so EIT data isn't listed.

Hopefully this means that sony are in testing and have got it's acted togeither and are adding Mediaworks channels and Prime to the tvtv for full 10days listings.

If you want the EIT data you'll need to unselect those channels in tvtv untill tvtv is providing data thorugh it's service

this works, thanks. Hopefully we'll be seeing the full 10 day guide soon.

Now if only Sony would fix the recording / playback glitches!

I've had PlayTV for about a year now and this is what I've noticed about the glitches.

I have a 320GB PS3 Slim.

Once my HDD falls below 20GB I always get glitches. And the lower the HDD gets after 20GB the worse they get.
Live pause can cause them, both on the live pause and the recording of the other channel.
Recording one HD program and watching another will get you random glitches.
Recording while playing NFS: The Run makes my whole PS3 die. lol
Deleting other recorded content while recording can stop the current recording.

I think most of the glitches are caused by thr write/read speed of the HDD so I'm going to purchase a Seagate 750GB Momentus XT. It's a hybrid HDD with 8GB of SSD making write/read speeds up there with other SSD hard drives.

yeah I get basically the same glitches when simultaneous recording and playback. I'd be interested to hear if the HDD speed fixes the problem, please let me know.

thanks for your help.
