I just added Bewitched and “I Dream of Jeannie” back in and did a rescan of EPG data. Same problem. Going to get Season 2019 again tomorrow for those shows.

No change today - still bad guide data being attached to certain shows as they are being recorded.

I’m in the USA and I have noticed missing guide data. Specifically The Weather Channel.

I’m having the same issue in the UK, most (not all of the time) episodes are being named and filed by the date they first aired, not the SxxExx format, despite that being in the guide (at least from the broadcasters website anyway).
It’s super annoying because I have to rename the episode after it airs, and then if it airs again it doesn’t detect it as a duplicate.
I’m in SG5, using ‘Freeview Anglia OTA Broadcast’

please send me your zip code by PM and I will look into this.
Is that the only missing channel?

If the series season and episode numbers are not available then we would go by the date.
There is an issue that will be fixed where the TV Series / Show start year is not identified correctly and recordings end up in a “TV Show Title (2019)” directory instead of one with the start year
Let me have specific series examples of where you are expecting season and episode numbers and you are not seeing them. Channels 1 to 5 current airings have already been reviewed and corrected by our provider - but soaps are not yet.

The folders get named Season [first air year], rather than Season [season number].
It’s happening on channel 105 - Peppa Pig at 6:00, 6:05, 6:10 each day.

Our provider has updated the episode sequencing for Peppa Pig. This may take 2 days or so to feed through. A guide refresh would be needed once the data is available.
We can review the state after the season / episode information is in place to see if there are any residual problems

Thanks for the zip code. 815 The Weather Channel HDTV does now exist within the “Comcast Blairsville Digital” lineup.
Suggest you go through setup again by deleting the DVR and re-creating it

Of course, thank you for taking a look! Bewitched is on 36.2 myKY (MNT) and I Dream of Jeannie is also on 36.2 myKY (MNT). I’m also seeing an issue with Leave it to Beaver on 18.2 MeTVHD (MeTV-E) scheduled a few days from now. @sa2000
