Guide data appears wrong for a number of channels

Advertisements

I'm seeing discrepancies between TiVo's guide data and that of Zap2It TV for a number of channels as of October 1. Channels I've noticed with screwy data are:
Cartoon Network
Comedy Central
Nickelodeon

There might be others, but that's ones I've noticed. Problems I've seen are:

1. Guide data simply being wrong, where the wrong show is shown airing at the wrong time.
2. Guide data shows the correct show at the correct time, but there is no detailed program description so it just shows generic data.

As such shows are getting scheduled at the wrong times in addition all airings of a show being aired.

For example, I have a season pass for Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network. Compare TiVo's listings to Zap2It's listings.

Basically it looks like TiVo's guide data is wrong or not updating for some cable channels.

 

It's not just Mondays. It's everything after October 1st.

I checked TiVo's web site when not logged in and all the data still looks generic with no cable provider selected. When I selected my provider manually it was still generic, but the times looked more correct so I repeating guided setup. That won't fix the generic data, but I'm hoping the times will be right.

What maintenance downtime?

Also can anyone click the two links in my first post and confirm that one contains generic data and the other does not?

 

Looks like this is starting to fix itself.

 

That only helps if there is an actual line up problem. If all of TiVo's data for a channel is bad, that won't really help since it isn't user specific.

 

In any case I got a response that the bad data was likely caused when TiVo did the system update this weekend. It's fixed now though.
