Guide data differs between sources for same channel

Local PBS channel guide shows different programs depending on Source viewed.
Three sources, CABLE, TVE and Locast.
Local PBS channel has the same Station ID (34197) on all three sources.

Station's website schedule agrees with zap2it which agrees with TVE source.
Cable and Locast agree with each other but show different programs airing.

Performed a Delete and Recreate Guide Database for the three source at the same time.
Still shows different programs.

So far I'm only comparing airings for Wed 3/3 7-10pm since that's where I first noticed the discrepancy.

A post was split to a new topic: Explanation of Source and Guide Database Maintenance selections

Thought I figured it out. The guide data must have changed in the 3 minutes after downloading that time block for Locast and downloading it for TVE.

After re-downloading the guide data for Locast it's now correct, but that didn't work for my HDHR Prime guide, it's still incorrect, Argh.

Just tried again delete and re-download guide data for my HDHR Prime, listing is still incorrect.

I don't understand why the discrepancy in the guide data.
All three sources have this PBS channel as the same station id.

And it still looks the same this morning after the daily guide updates. Locast listing is still correct, TVE and Cable are still incorrect. Doesn't make sense to me if they're all the same station id.

Fixed itself after the daily guide updates this morning.
