DVR Function is essentially unusable because, for example:

Guide says “Channel No Longer Broadcasting 9/23/29 – Channel No Longer Broadcasting”
This is 4.1 WDIV-TV (NBC) in Detroit. (Works in HDHomerun) while 4.2 and 4.3 are listed and viewable/recordable. I don’'t know what that future date means.

Further, an attempt to view gets “Playback Error. Unable to tune channel (Not on air)”.

This is NOT good.

And, the last anomaly – ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and ‘Jeopardy’ (between ‘Unknown Airing’ and ‘Channel No Longer Broadcasting’) both appear and record correctly.

Having same issue – same channel in Detroit.

See Detroit 4.1 (local NBC affiliate) not updating in Program Guide

Glad I’m not alone. Same issue in DFW on Fios cable.

It appears that the fix for the gaps issue which led to “Unknown Airing” and “xxx Programming” has also fixed the Channel No Longer Broadcasting issue - for 4.1.

Pasting here the post I pasted in the other linked forum topic

The fix for the gaps that shows as Unknown Airing has now been deployed to the live service and I just checked the UK channels and we have zero gaps. The same issue led also to xxx Programming

A full EPG manual refresh would correct all the gaps and xxx programming erroneous entries
