View Full Version : Stargate SG-1 poor guide data

Show: Stargate SG-1

As has been noted in other threads the guide data from Sci-Fi isn't properly showing first runs so even if your series link is first run only it may be picking up daily reruns.

HR20 and R15 effected for sure. Not sure about Tivo's as I haven't had a chance to check it but it usually has the same issue (Scifi seems to do this to SG1 quite a bit).

I noticed that a few minutes ago. I was looking to record SG-1, but I could not tell if it was a new episode or not. I think I saw a comercial saying that SG-1, Atlantis, and PKJ were going to be all new next week, not sure though.

P.S. I have hr-20, I didn't check my r-15

My guide shows "Line in the Sand", which is a repeat. It is about them shifting a village into different dimension.

Same on Dish receivers just about every week.

I've just got used to having to delete all the repeats for SG-1, Cops, Simpsons from my DVR's, I gave up on this ever getting fixed.

Actually what I've been doing is going through the to do list and deleting them before they get recorded, also helps with any possible conflicts that might come up. Either way it's still a PITA to do.

Episode #s have been wrong for the recent runs too. I had recorded a few and went to watch them, but since The Quest, part 2, they have been wrong, so I had to go by recording date.

I've had this problem on on the Simpsons and, only recently, on SGI.
My Simposns solution was to kill the Season Pass/Series Link, and just remember once a week to schedule the new recording.
Almost like putting in a blank cassette!

Programming a VCR was usually a longer task than it is on the 622, but I get your point. :D

look at the bright side, there are only a handful of episodes left. then you can delete the timer and be done with it.

Either way it's still a PITA to do.I started doing this too. It's very easy to look at To Do and just press STOP on the recordings you don't want to occur. Peice of cake. (But I still want the guide data fixed so I don't even have to do this!)

I think the issue might have to do with the order being different and already shown in Europe

Not really. We are talking reruns from years ago showing up. Just bad guide data by Sci Fi and it happens nearly every year at least twice.

Not on these last episodes--the episode numbers indicate that "Bounty" is before "The Quest-pt 2." The Quest-pt 1 was the cliff-hanger where Sci-Fi split the season. Therefore, finishing pt 2 (retrieving Daniel Jackson) had to come before the other episodes.
