It doesn't look good for those recording Breaking Bad on .

Series 3, episodes 4, 5 and 6, airing next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are on a different series crid so would not be recorded without user intervention.

The correct series crid is reinstated for S3e7, next Thursday.

The Breaking Bad crids are now correct.

Yesterday: Still one odd crid left -

2015 05 15
service_name = "Spike"
default_authority = "www.channel5.com"
{
programme = "Breaking Bad"
crid = "/V7INF", item, date: Fri 15 May 23:00
crid = "/R4CQG", series, dates: Fri 15 May 23:00, Mon 18 May 23:00, Wed 20 May 23:00, Thu 21 May 23:00, Fri 22 May 23:00
crid = "/V7ING", item, date: Mon 18 May 23:00
crid = "/644024441", item, date: Tue 19 May 23:00
crid = "/1396365688", series, date: Tue 19 May 23:00
crid = "/V7INI", item, date: Wed 20 May 23:00
crid = "/V7INJ", item, date: Thu 21 May 23:00
crid = "/V7INK", item, date: Fri 22 May 23:00
}

Today: Fixed!

Unable to get Spike 31 on my Toshiba TV. Have you any thoughts about what is the problem?

Alex Esdale: Can you get 4Music on 18? Both are broadcast on the same , so if you can receive one but not the other you have an issue with corrupted tuning data, which can generally be solved by unplugging the and retuning to clear the , then reconnect the aerial and retune again which should restore all of your . Be sure to make a note of any future recordings as the retune process is known to delete them on many receivers.

I have enjoyed the content of some of your programs, but find the background ear shattering and so disturbing that it sucks the enjoyment right out of the brain! Please tell me what you think does to enhance your programs? In no way could it even be called music. It is a continuous assault on the ears. Of course this is my opinion, but others have the same thoughts.I 'm not the only one!

jeffrey mcewan : This is not 5Spike's website and no one here has any influence over which programs are shown on any . You would be better off contacting the broadcaster via their own website.
