Cable Forum - View Single Post - TiVo Just how bad is the EPG at the moment?

I have seen TIVO not record several things it should because of the EPG, also seen about 7 or 8 occasions when the EPG data was incorrect ie. wrong episode. I have also seen a few instances of series i have recorded where a couple of the episodes only have the "Generic" data for the series, rather than have the episode specific details.

All of these problems have still not convinced me that getting TIVO was a bad idea, but I do think it is a bigger problem than anyone actually believes. The problems that I have highlighted have happened on the channels that I watch, but that only accounts for about 25% of the channels we get, so if these same problems occur on the other 75%, then as a whole, it is totally unacceptable.
