Starting this week quite a few of my timers (I have a legacy Quad) have been recording the wrong things on certain channels like Movies, Catchy Comedy and the like. It’s like the guide info changed a week before DST actually is scheduled to kick in. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yep, I believe I tried to record a Sherlock Holmes movie that was on 45.2 “Movies” and something else entirely was recorded.

I have noticed the same thing on my legacy Quad—timers on Movies and Catchy Comedy have been off all week. Seems like the guide shifted early for DST or something.

Came here to report same. (Tablo Gen 4, 4tuner) First noticed it on main METV channel, then spread to others, just noticed yesterday MOVIES channel recording are off by a couple hours. Also a FAST channel recording made yesterday began 5-6 minutes late, and ended early.
Why only in Phoenix market?
Also, while doing a channel scan a few days ago, after saving scan, guide was full of incorrect channel/program info, but when clicking on channel, the propper program would play under the bogus listing. After a couple tablo quick resets, correct listings finally returned.
As it stands now, the majority of the channels I really watch cannot be reliably recorded.
No point in a DVR that can’t record your choices.

Hey there @RTR @smess @peter11 & @mgo_davis -
It sounds like the affected channels are:
- 40.1 - ME TV
- 45.4 - Catchy Comedy
- 45.2 - MOVIES
A few questions about what you’re experiencing:
- You noticed issues before DST kicked in on Sunday. Are you still noticing that the guide seems off based on what’s currently airing on those channels?
- If so, can you send some additional details? For example, if it’s currently 11 a.m. and the guide says The Love Boat is airing, but Andy Griffith is actually playing.
- Are there other channels in your lineup experiencing a similar shift? Or are these the only ones affected?
- Is the current time reported in the live TV grid of your Tablo app correct?
- Is the current time reported on the device running your Tablo app (i.e. your smart TV or streaming device) correct?
40.1 - ME TV: - For the first time in months, METV 40.1 plays at time indicated on guide. Previously for example, Perry Mason played two hours AFTER guide listed it to play.
45.4 - Catchy Comedy: Plays correctly, and WAS NOT previously affected.
45.2 - MOVIES: Movies channel now plays correctly…after DST change.
*Other channels affected in your lineup:
METV Toons 40.4 is listed in Tablo guide as Oxygen-True Crime. METV Toons 40.4 programming plays at the correct time, but guide lists it as Oxygen-True Crime 40.4 channel.
Antenna TV 15.2: After DST change, Antenna TV no longer plays on 15.2, Guide shows Antenna TV but instead plays SCRIPPS Sports. Antenna TV is no where to be found.
40.4 also shows “Oxygen” for me when it is MeTVToons (and has been for a very long time)

Now that everyone (except us) has changed their clocks, all the guide info has returned to the way it was before, and my timers are working fine. The current time has always been correct. I see Antenna TV; in fact, I recorded some stuff this past weekend, but they do preempt for Scripps Sports stuff, but the guide never reflects that. Also, my legacy Quad got the firmware update today. I upgraded, and everything seems to have gone smooth except the guide rescanned, and now a lot of station call letters have disappeared, and almost everything says “INDEPENDENT” now. Also, for years there has never been guide information for 39.6 Nosey and 35.3 is GET but says it’s The Nest and has incorrect guide info. I’ve reported this multiple times in the past but always get the canned responses (rescan, reset your Tablo, delete and reinstall the app, etc.). I’m too far away from the transmitters to receive the Weigel low-power stations on 40.x

Thanks very much for the info regarding Antenna TV / Scripps sports stuff. Very helpful. I hope they fix your missing and mislabeled call letters. Thanks again.

UPDATE Regarding Antenna TV:
15.2 Antenna TV now has a 1 hour Guide display error. For example, Mad About You S05E02 is indicated as currently playing by the Guide, (beginning at 12:30 AM) but instead, Designing Women S05E02 is actually playing. (which the Guide says begins at 1:30 AM)

Is anyone else noticing that 15.2 Antenna TV has a 1-hour guide display error?
Yes. After the overnight guide update Antenna TV 15.2 guide info is now an hour behind and Nosey 39.6 has guide info (for me) for the first time ever.

I’m also in Phoenix on a legacy dual and was wondering why I was getting random shows recorded that I hadn’t selected. I’ll check the guide against my scheduled recordings.
After looking at it, on 40.1 it now has Love Boat, Hogan’s Heros, and Collectors Call all showing in the live guide as recording, although I have never chosen to record these shows and the recording option for those is “don’t record”, so not sure how to stop those from continuing to record.
Something got jacked up between the firmware update and the DST change that shouldn’t have affected Phoenix.

Thanks Tablo TV.
