Other channels release 3-6 weeks ahead so they'll will be complete but most likely subject to change.

Ahh right, not noticed this until recently. This also explains why I get dummy programme entries that end up in 'Recording Hiccups' because they are later replaced with the correct programming.
There's a drama on ITV that keeps being listed (Girlfriends) despite having ended. Also, on ITV3 On The Buses and George and Mildred keep appearing and then replaced. You can tell such entries are false and delete them as the synopsis is always generic.
Sometimes Viacom list Impractical Jokers for hours at a time until they have decided what to show; it's annoying as it makes you think that actual recordings have failed!

It seems our recording hiccups only goes backwards ..

I've sometimes found advance recordings in 'Recording Hiccups' nearer to the scheduled time to be recorded. It's usually due to a clash that I am able to rectify.

NEW recordings are based on the air date.
In any case the episode at 9pm on Friday 6th April is a repeat. The episode is actually on for the first time on 5th April.

It took me a fair while to realise that 'New Recordings didn't necessarily mean a new programme! The fact that the EPG metadata is sometimes wrong doesn't help.
