Episode # how to request it be added to guide data

#1

Is there any way to request episode numbers be added to guide data for a particular channel, and would that help with multiple recordings of the same program over and over again?

I've tried using the NEW recordings only, but they seem to drop off the guide prior to the program actually airing (another problem), even though they clearly show as scheduled.

The program in question is "Bill O'Reilly No Spin News" on "The First" channel, every single episode has the exact same description. "Bill O'Reilly's No Spin News and Analysis. No Spin. Just Facts. Always looking out for you."

This appears to be just laziness on the part of the guide/program provider, and really hope there is some kind of work around so I can get a reliable pass set up to record the original airing of the program and not the 3 re-broadcasts every day.

You can submit feedback at zap2it (uses the same Gracenote EPG that Channels uses) and hold your breath.

Or modify the pass to remove New and record the time of the airings you want.
Like adding Time CONTAINS 8pm or whatever time the New airing is.

Thanks, Time contains was the trick, had not thought of that one. Nice.
