My local cable provider is incompetent. I am not just talking about the normal grumbling about cable tv service. These people are world class incompetent.
They provide cable television service to our complex (through an exclusive contract) by a bunch of Dish Network receivers at a head end on our site and then pass the signal on to us. It is not unusual for them to set a receiver to the wrong satellite feed for a channel, e.g. point to the East Coast U.S. feed when they are supposed to pick up the West Coast feed. This ends up making the listings off by three hours and useless for scheduling recordings. During these times I have to use manual recording but besides the inconvenience, this method also loses all the program description.
The solution is not to wait until Schedule Direct has its own ability to fix lineups because these interruptions are temporary but could last weeks until the jokers who maintain the system fix their mistakes.
If I could set a unique offset in CONFIG for each individual channel then I could compensate for the problem until it goes away.
