Zap2it not that reliable?

[psykoalby]

I remember reading a list of the most reliable TV guide providers but I'm not sure where Zap2it stood on that list. But IMO, it ranks near the bottom of the list. I've been getting a lot of wrong scheduled shows in the guide. It lists the wrong episodes sometimes and even the wrong shows. For instance, I noticed that on the FX channel, "Over There" and the other shows are actually playing in opposite timeslots contrary to what the guide shows. There's more instances of this problem in other occasions.

Is this just a problem with my guide or what?

Zap2It isn't bad on the whole, but you get what you pay for. Free may not be worth it if you're having that many problems.

There's a padding setting in the xml that fixes some problems w/ FX. It accitentially mis-detects shows because FX shows them many times in a row.

Are the listings 3 hours off of what they should be? If so, Zap2It has the wrong feed listed for your provider. What ID does GB-PVR show for FX? FX is the Eastern feed and FXP is the West Coast feed. There is a forum at labs.zap2it.com where you can report channel discrepancies, show discrepancies, etc.

It is spot on for me. The only times it has been wrong Directv was wrong also.
