I went ahead and sent samples from 4-5 of the channels, across a SLM and non-SLM source (both from IPTVboss before that).
Let's focus on one channel you have in "Favs", with this channel-id:
"US MGM+ DRIVE-IN"
And, this current airing info:

Piping that value through the jq statement I'm using, gives me this:
127123
So, back to some data from you. Using this URL:
http://$dvr/devices/ANY/channels
Can you post the M3U dataset for "GuideNumber":"127123"?
I did find a problem with collection names that contain spaces, which I fixed. Otherwise, the data you provided me was all handled fine -- so no issues there.
Pull the most recent :latest when you have a moment, and try producing an M3U for your EPG Problems collection, and let me know how it goes.
Hmmm....getting a HTTP 500 error. Maybe :latest hasn't propagated yet, though it did show an update available.
Pushed another update a few moments ago, for a different reason -- but I was able to pull it right away. So, if you could try again...
I was able to generate a m3u from that EPG_Problems collection (I renamed it to avoid things like that spaces in names issue). The 500 error was because of a file permissions error on this new m3u - I'll have to sort that but it's an easy fix.
I am still getting no guide data in my exports for those other channels. I'm going to keep investigating and try to simplify it so I can determine if it is a CDVR, PLM, or O4C hiccup. Will keep you posted!
As an update, I just tested that EPG_Problems collection m3u and while the source has 10 channels - the output has just 1, so there's definitely something up there. I don't want to muddy up the thread any more, but when you have some time can we work through this via messages or a Github issue?

I created its own thread but maybe OliveTin is the better place if anyone could do this project. DirecTV offers a free service called Myfree DirecTV. Is it possible to create a container for it? I'm willing to share my username and password if needed.
That wouldn't work because DRM.
All of the channels on there tho can be gotten with other containers (tubi, plex, pluto).
