The program data at RTL Passion is still chaotic.

I have programmed the three soaps to be recorded, “Among Us”, “Everything that counts” and “Good times, bad times”. The following is displayed or goes wrong:

• Episodes are no longer listed with the episode number like before. but with the following title, sometimes it happens that both are displayed and are recorded twice.
• If you look at the synopsis for the series with the episode title, there is no episode number anywhere. As can be seen, sorting by episode is no longer possible.
• Since the “Classics” of the series are still running, i.e. episodes that were repeated a few years ago, these will also be recorded additionally. Here too, a distinction should be made between classics and the new episodes.

Now the oddity goes even further with the three series.

The series description, i.e. before you select the series episode, is now in English for GZSZ, French for AWZ and in Italian for UU, … beautifully Swiss 🤣

@roku73 I have to honestly say, this is really awesome, let’s hope the suppliers get this under control soon 🤪. There are already rumors in the French-speaking forum that everything is great with the German-speaking EPG, but there are discrepancies with them 🤣.

@Gaeilgeoir then you can reassure them in the French forum, my example proves the opposite 🤣

@roku73 Exactly, can I take a snip of your post 🤪.?

@Gaeilgeoir of course you can 🙂

So what I’m particularly annoyed about is that (future) series recordings have been cancelled, they are simply gone without warning and will therefore no longer be recorded.

When I open the menu with the planned recordings, the number for the next 14 days is almost half that of a few days ago.

Is it just me?

I thought it was just me. I also noticed that series are suddenly no longer being recorded. Or that in a series suddenly only the even episodes were recorded so that I had to start a series recording again for the odd ones. I’m curious whether the series recording that I set up today works and for how long.

So today I would definitely not recommend Swisscom TV.

The Craction TV EPG seems to be a bigger problem

@Andy7171 That doesn’t surprise me

Is there actually an EPG for Craction TV now or can this channel, which is not really usable, be removed?

Speaking of gone:

Thanks again for shutting down Dubai Sports 🙄

So far I only see a deterioration.

E.g. crime scenes. No more showing the episode number. The last crime scenes this week in the 3rd programs in Germany are listed as CH. Sure, if Ballauf, Odenthal, Singer, etc. are investigating.

Continuous recordings are gone.

There is still a lot to do.

Well, I have to say that some things aren’t that great. This morning I accidentally discovered a series in HR that I watched as a child or young teenager, “Three Ladies from the Grill” and watched it for nostalgia reasons.

Apart from the fact that the picture doesn’t fit and that the episode was from 1983 and not 2021, it doesn’t bother me that much. I just found it a bit distasteful when I saw her gravestone among the cast, under the main actress Brigitte Mira, instead of a photo of her. (yes, yes, I know you can discuss what is tasteless or not, everyone will certainly have a different perception). I’ve never seen anything like that with any other actor on the home screen, or I didn’t notice it.

Yes, it is really absolutely unacceptable that a gravestone is shown instead of a photo of Brigitte Mira!!

Things are getting worse all the time with this EPG and the data and information about the programs.

A clear 👎👎👎

Hello @Gaeilgeoir and @Andy7171

Thank you very much for your note.

I placed this internally and found out that our TV experts are working with the EPG supplier to replace Brigitte Mira’s picture. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you when this will happen at the moment.

Best regards,

RaphaelG

So I’m starting to suspect that the new supplier was chosen because he was cheaper and not better.

I hope I’m wrong, but so far I haven’t noticed any improvement.

At least the error with the series recordings should be fixed as quickly as possible, so they are not really usable.

It is, I believe,

also a premiere for a new film and series channel

(Craction TV)

as long as there is no EPG

@Andy7171 I assume that the problem with this channel is that it is not a channel that comes via satellite or DVB-T, for example, but in Germany it is also a channel that you can watch outside of Samsung TV cannot receive. I have no idea where Swisscom gets the signal from, but it could well be that EPG data is not as easy to obtain as with channels via satellite or antenna.

It is an FTA channel that shows 3 to 6 series in an endless loop. The channel has been on Samsung TV since spring but most people already know that. Swisscom tries to record all German channels that can be received for free. Normal or…

Unfortunately not, otherwise we would have had “Health TV” long ago. A channel that may not be action-packed, but is still useful.

The EPG supplier will probably have a Samsung cell phone lying around somewhere. You can simply write off the EPG. Since the same thing always works, it doesn’t take much effort.
