Why are so many channels showing completely wrong information on the channel guide?

First it was just one or two, now more and more channels listed in the online channel guide, show schedules that don't match at all, what is being shown on them!  And other channels are too frequently showing "No Information", particularly movie channels. And a number of channels, particularly in the live TV guide, only give general information about the show, not the storyline for that week's episode, or guests on for that show, etc.

On top of that mess, is the fact that too many of the channels that show movies, which say "Press * to begin movie at beginning", will automatically default to the beginning, even though that's not at all what I want, nor did I hit the * button! What is going on with all this?

  • You would think Roku could give viewers a channel lineup that is useful in scheduling programs to watch. The Scream Channel 770 has been showing wrong programming for over a month now. It seems the movie that is currently playing is a couple of hours ahead of the time it's shown that it will be playing. Almost like a time zone problem on their end. Today AMC Thrillers channel 766 has been completely wrong on the programming.
