As much i want to blame dish for this the problem is the dropped there original EPG provider to save money that change lead to start of problem then when that contract end the changed providers it again and it start all over again. They should never change epg provider.
Then again i fail to see how the guide have wrong info and names, when 99% of all channels that have there OWN guide and schedule, that these providers can just download and parse and put into the guide. into one full guide complete and correct functions guide. the whole thing is should be automated and so long as info from channel own guide and schedule is right so should this guide, problem come when they start changing it. I am sure it not that simple but cant be complicated as they are making it.
Who else remeber seeing guide say new episodes of quantum leap in 2021 a show that been off there air reruns from more then 3 decades? among other shows do the same.The best was when timer simply would not trigger or even see the show having timer despite name being exactly that, cause meta data was wrong. at some point i had 5+ times of same show cause each week diffrent timer need to be made to record the show. atlest that issue is fixed, I can deal with timers not recording cause it dont think it new but timer not triggering period cause each week the meta data for show changed was just bs.
DVB EPG specs have nothing to do with info being put in guide being inaccurate and half assed, that just issue on providers end screwing up which what cause the start of issue in first place, Dish change provider to save money, cause start of this that provider took almost 2 years fix most the issue, then dish change providers again and they started again. if current provider is original one before they start changing the provider then they went do tube too.
