TV guide wrong

w2pixel — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 13:00:39 GMT

I wanted to set up a series record for the new show I, Jack Wright which is due to start airing in alibi on Wednesday at 9pm, but the guide has a listing for Every Single Penny instead . All the online guides say it should be Jack Wright at that time.

It would appear that Every Single Penny is actually the title of the first episode of this series. It looks as though this is where the confusion has arisen. I’m going to set a series link recording for it and see what happens. Hopefully the listing will have been corrected before the broadcast. It will also be available on demand via the NOW app.

I hadn't realised it was the episode title, thanks, I'll give recording it a go, though last time I had an error like this in the guide it recorded one episode ok, but then I had to reset the series record for the second ep

You were quite right to highlight it. It is still definitely an error. I checked the Sky listing for it and found that it was the title of the first episode. Someone needs to correct this on the EPG.

The error is repeated in the search function too, as I thought I could find one of the repeats to record but the title of the show gets no results.

I still prefer to record too. At least we can still FF through the ads on that channel. I find the PQ on the linear channel to be superior to that of the on demand via the NOW app.

I notice that the EPG has still not been updated, and it’s not available on the NOW app either ahead of the first episode this evening.

Next Wednesday's episode seems to be listed wrong too, under the episode name Fight Like Hell, though the series link seems to have caught it, so hopefully the recordings work.

It will be interesting to see how the box stores the individual episode recordings under different titles if the situation isn’t corrected with the proper series title.

All episodes now available on the NOW app. The EPG is still incorrect.

It is surprising that the information supplied in the EETV EPG for a major new series on U Alibi is inaccurate and incomplete when all other platforms are correct. Whether the responsibility for the problem is U or Now or YOUVIEW is unclear, but I suggest that EETV should raise concerns. Quite apart from the confusion due to episode names appearing instead of the series title, the EETV guide would be expected to have a brief synopsis of the episode AND to include any GUIDEANCE warnings about the content. Now data indicates NOT GENERALLY SUITABLE CFOR CHILDREN UNDER 15 applies to that episode.

Ta for that info, unfortunately the streaming version on the Now app doesn't have subtitles like a lot of their series, one reason I keep up the recording subscription is that the recordings have more subtitles available.

The EPG has now been corrected.

That's good, I do wonder how it happend though.

Re: TV guide wrong

Me too. Interestingly my recording is still under Every Single Penny though.

Mine too, it'll be interesting to see if next week's episode gets added to that thumbnail or if it doesn't recognise that they're the same show.

I suspect that the thumbnail tile will show the primary title of the episode recorded as it was at the time of recording.

My recordings have now gathered under the same thumbnail. The first one is still with the title of the first episode and the second is titled I, Jack Wright.
