@krugie wrote: So here's an update... despite the EPG showing 19H30 to 21H00 (on top of a totally incorrect episode description), the episode actually started one or 2 minutes EARLY and was done by 20H13 - so basically 45 minutes. And it was most definitely the final episode.   I didn't see any promos as to what will be airing next week or whether, indeed, season 33 might be starting.   Thank you @krugie ... View more

@krugie wrote: I wouldn't read too much into that. The episode for tonight has a totally incorrect description and season number on the EPG as well. On the SABC website for tonight it says " Survivor S32 - Kaoh Rong-Brawn Vs Brains Vs Beauty " - the EPG says S33/E15 - and for next week the SABC website says " Survivor S33 - Millennials Vs Gen X " so maybe they are even showing the next season right away. In the US season 39 is starting soon.   Thanks for the reply. ... View more

When reunion episodes were added, I had to set new series recording. This has happened before with RH so wasn't an issue. Over weekend I noticed that the reunion episodes were detailed as s8 instead of s9. Had to check that they were not a repeat of s8, but they are for s9. ... View more

From other's comments on this thread, I assumed tonight was the last episode of Survivor. EPG reflects Survivor next week? ... View more

It seems once again, it's a case of screening something and not really caring if anyone watches it!!!   Eventually saw an advert for GOT on Friday. ... View more

@krugie wrote: I think there is only 1 hour left - basically the winner announcement and then the reunion but rather record 2 hours to be safe. Next Monday's episodes (currently) also has the same episode number (15) as this past Monday's episode, just FYI. Thanks @krugie. Not watching this live, so don't want to binge watch and be missing the ending ... View more

@GeoffD wrote: The double episode never happened. Hence why the EPG changed. The recording for Monday is a to be continued ..... Saturday's EPG still reflects the timing needed for a double episode, not updated and probable won't be fixed. The final episode is next week. I have left my TBR schedules assuming a double episode in case.  But it may be a fruitless exercise anyway, as every day MC screws up the sw on my 4 tuner decoders which breaks all schedules regardless. Thanks for the reply @GeoffD. So the 1 hour recording for last night is fine - I don't need to record Saturday repeat?   As for next week - should I set a manual recording for 2 hours to be safe? ...

@Grace_DStv1 wrote: Hi All, below is the schedule update for M-Net City ch 115   M-Net City Schedule Updates: New Updates: From Monday 9 September – 30 September M-Net City will be adding season 1-8 of Game of Thrones to its schedule. The award-winning hit series is in the lead with a record 32 Emmy nominations for its final season and the channel wanted to celebrate the series in style. Three episodes will air every day (Monday-Sunday). This means your M-Net City line-up has changed. The following shows will take a scheduling break and will be back in October: Mondays: Better Call Saul Legacies Tuesdays: The Truth About Harry Quebert Affair Wednesdays Ray Donovan Thursdays Escape at Dannemora Saturday s Riverdale This is completely unacceptable!! Throwing the schedule out the window because a series got Emmy nominations is a really pathetic reason for showing a series. "The channel wants to celebate in style" - fine, do it in your own time, don't inconvenice your viewers by removing series and much needed repeats. Also it's the final season that got the nominations, why is GOT being shown from season 1?? Most of the seasons have already been scheduled multiple times anyway. I seriously doubt anyone is going to be watching this - fans would have seen it already, it's poorly scheduled and would be a nightmare to watch / record and there are no repeats. I seriously have to wonder about thought given to what viewers want and how to keep them happy - it seems to be what can MC do to upset and inconvenice viewers at every turn!!   By the way, I must also note thatI have not seen a single advert or anything saying that this is happening -I picked it up because I regularly check the EPG. It seems once again, it's a case of screening something and not really caring if anyone watches it!!!   This is the worst service ever!!! ... View more

@Grace_DStv1 wrote: @MadCat, by the looks of things GOT is scheduled to air from S1 on ch 115 M-Net City, at 21:40 on the 9th Sep. Keep an eye on the TV Guide for any updates or changes.  With Ray Donovan, we're still checking with the channel we'll get back to you.    @Grace_DStv1  thank you for the reply, but this is unacceptable!! Why is the whole schedule being disrupted to screen GOT from season 1?? This makes no sense what so ever!!   If you have some sort of contractual requirement to screen it, then do it after 1pm when regularly scheduled programming is done or bring back your binge channel.   Not happy about this and it needs to be sorted! ...
