TWC Channel Program guide info not being refreshed

Has anyone noticed that the DETAILED info about programs on TWC is not at all being well-maintained and being refreshed ? Using the remote control, you need to click "INFO", and it loads the program's detailed description, but it has not been storing the loaded description.

Also, with PBSHD ( Ch 708 ), despite programming being shown, it says " Off Air ", from 6 am to 6 pm. I just looked at Fri, Sat, and Sun. and it shows absolutely no programs for Ch. 708. It has been like this since they eliminated 752 and 754, and activated 708.

I shouldn't have to subscribe to TV Guide for this information. It's difficult and discouraging to set up DVR recordings ahead of time...not knowing if you want to record a program that you know no details about.

I've re-booted the DVR box many times with no change. If anyone else notices this, call TWC technical support to let them know. I was once told that if less than 5 complaints are received, it is treated as if there is no problem. But, they'll suggest re-boot, and offer to send a technician to look at what you're calling about.

I have noticed the same symptoms. I have given up on power cycling the box. It eventually returns.

If you can do so, call TWC

If you can do so, call TWC to tell them about this. They'll only act if there are enough calls about it. Thanks for the response. It's good to know it's not my HD DVR.

TWC did some corrective work

TWC did some corrective work with the program info guide. They have all days back to normal, except Monday, which still exhibits the same problems. I guess just be grateful for this much improvement. Ch. 708, also, is showing normal programming. A good piece of work by TWC. Now, we can better appreciate the rate increase with all systems back in order.

It's even worse now than it

It's even worse now than it had been. From Thursday night, next week, up to midnite on Saturday, there are no shows listed at all. It will most likely be up to midnite on Sunday, next week..........after this Sunday's shows are done.It is just one big void.
Anyone else seeing this ? Call Time Warner and complain if you are.

teenbean2: digitaldean - I just hooked my outdoor antenna to the existing cable junction box that is mounted outside the box. I unscrewed the Time Warner Cable and hooked my cable to the cable wire going into...
on Which antenna placement is better?

Keith: It looks good to me. Obviously a great improvement over what it was. I like the colors, the bug on the right with the simple temp and time, the panning out, and the text scroll at the bottom....
TvBoy: Damn, For as long as it took to get that thing launched, I was pretty disappointed. Not that impressive. Better than the last set, but not worth the price paid.
