Live channel guide not accurate

On some channels the shows shown in the guide are not the ones actually playing. I don't know where they get their guide data from, but it's totally inaccurate.

Also, who decides which episodes are in the cycle? On some channels they keep replaying the same two dozen episodes over and over again.

Re: Live channel guide not accurate

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @sambou!

No worries. We'll find you the best resolution for this. 

Would you mind providing us with a photo and video of what you are referring to so we can assess the situation better? Also, kindly tell us on which specific app or channel (also the movie or TV show title) you are experiencing this so we can check and figure out the root cause. 

The best course of action will be suggested once we have a better understanding of the situation. We'll be anticipating your response!

Best regards,
Carly

Roku Ultra TV Roku Channel Live TV guide app.

A few channels often have inaccurate information: Motor Trend, Torque, Power Nation (sometimes), Modern Marvels are examples of those I watch regularly.

Re: Live channel guide not accurate

Same problem for me mostly noticing it on the Torque channel. It is 12-19-23 at 10pm central time. My guide tells me that Truck Night in America should be on. But the show playing is some kind of motor cycle club show. Possibly called We're the FUGAWIS?  The guide for this channel has been wrong for months.  Here is a photo showing the guide and the program currently playing
