Gracenote / Zap2it not showing new episodes

Looks like Chicago Med and Chicago Fire (Season Premieres) are listed in Gracenote as not new. They are missing the New tag (though it looks like Chicago Med is half right. Luckily I caught it to manually record the episodes otherwise I'd have a very unhappy household.

Chicago Med:

Chicago Fire:

Going to the Zap2It site and listing New episodes for these two series are showing no airings.

I'm not sure what you're expecting, but those episodes are repeats. The Chicago shows had their season premieres Sept 22.

So the yellow Season Premiere and the purple New tags are the ones that are wrong?

Yes. Although, the guide doesn't always reflect reality, so keep your scheduled recording. But since they're all showing the season premieres, and the guide data matches what aired in Sept, it's probably likely the New and Premiere tags are incorrect.

What I do for some shows is set two passes.
Higher priority one for New only.
Another lower priority one for Season > last season.
That way if the DVR misses a new airing for whatever reason, the second pass picks it up.
Since Channels DVR will not record the same episode twice, you won't get duplicates.
