EPG - slow to update
Is there a reason Virgin are slow to update the EPG?
For instance
the entries for the 2 super rugby semi-finals were updated on Sky's EPG several days before Virgin caught up
Sky's EPG has the Rosenborg v Celtic 2nd leg on Prem Spts next Wednesday whilst Virgin has yet to update

Re: EPG - slow to update
I see they still haven't sorted this out. The guide seems to be wrong from 11.45am on Wednesday onwards.

Re: EPG - slow to update
Classic example the boxing on Channel 5 on Saturday night was cancelled the day before after 1 of them got injured however come Saturday night still in the EPG as Boxing when they put some film on instead but I didn't know what it was because the EPG was wrong.

We are told the epg updates I believe four times a day, your example disproves this.

It may be updating four times a day but this will only be as accurate as the information put in manually, one presumes.

I know we have visited this many times, but I simply cannot understand why, if Freeview has a dynamic epg , VM cannot do it.

Sky's EPG is updated by the broadcasters , last time I looked into it the EPG on Virgin TiVo was updated by Tribune Media based in the USA. I'm not sure if that's still the case.

Re: EPG - slow to update
Sky has had Rosenborg v Celtic on Premier Sports Wed 2nd Aug since last Thursday - still not on Virgin's EPG
Sky has also had Aberdeen's Europa qualifier Thurs 3rd Aug for a couple of days also on Premier Sports, also still not on Virgin's EPG
Updated 4 times a day my foot! We are paying good money for a service which we are not getting.
At least the Super Rugby Final is on sky Action at 7am on both sky and virgin EPGs - unfortunately, everyone knows it is going to be in the afternoon as the Lions are at home not the Crusaders.
Still can't blame Virgin for that one.
