MLB Extra Innings guide data missing

[erikwurz]

I can watch MLB EI on my TiVo but no game information is provided. I have Comcast cable in South Eastern PA.

I wrote a note to TiVo and they responded with this note...

Is this a global issue or isolated to Comcast?

I noticed the same thing this morning as I checked the "To Do" list to see all my Red Sox games lined up for the week. I was unpleasantly surprised to see nothing but an upcoming TBS broadcast scheduled. If Comcast doesn't supply programming info for the baseball season, this sort of renders my Sox wishlist schedule useless. They seem to have all the info for the NHL games, I noticed. Knowing this, I may not have purchased the package...

Any other thoughts or suggestions? Or am I doomed to m-a-n-u-a-l-l-y schedule all of my games?

This is likely a TiVo/Tribune Media problem with them not providing MLBEI schedule info. It's not correct on zap2it.com either.

I have had the package (from Comcast) before and it has always had guide data, so this should get fixed soon.

I just got off the phone with TiVo support; they did not know whether or not the lineup information would be provided from the service provider. So I just have to wait and see. Interestingly enough I have information for the Hockey package I did not purchase, just as TiVoSam posted.

MLB EI Channel lineup information is available today. Yeah!

[tivosam]

Yep. The programming info is back in Baltimore. Anyone know why MLBEI does not broadcast every game? No Sox today, April 5th.

FOX national blackout. No local games can air in their window.
