Really, when a feature is on Freeview but not something you pay £5 a month before even watching anything, you know someone isn't doing their job.

And there lies the problem , people can preach all they want about TIVOs super features , but all these fail miserably if the EPG screws up. Nothing's perfect and I'm sure there are issues with Sky and Freeview EPG's however they do generally update more reliably than TIVO , my parents find Movies/Christmas 24 listings can be pot luck some days.

I know for sports fans, where a lot of live content is involved, a DEPG would be usefull. But DEPGs can also cause other problems and therefore i wouldn't want one. Sky seem to have the best option where you can turn the DEPG on or off, to suit the user, or just turn it on when there are live events on. That would be good; but a forced DEPG, with no option to turn it of, I would be against.

Freeview's definitely does, even if a prerecorded program overruns a minute it will correct the guide.

Yes, it was fixed for everyone by mid-afternoon yesterday.

I was just browsing my TiVo and noticed that American Horror story is back but the series link has picked it up at all. I have had to set another series link and thankfully can catch the first episode on catch up.
