DISH Episode Numbers on 622/942 wrong?

[yaz96]

Howdy!

I was trying to find some episodes that got deleted from my 622 because the disk was full, so I went to TV.com to find the episode listings. The numbers on TV.com, which I assume are correct, do not match up with the episode numbers listed for the DVR recordings. Anyone else notice this?

I ended up just going by the date originally aired, so I could find them on BitTorrent .

Anyone know where DISH gets their info for this? Seems like it would be standard info.

Dish can only show what is given them. Networks do not necessarily run the episodes in the same order they were made or sometimes get pushed back due to news and sports going over, so dish goes with original broadcast date. If you make note of that you should be able to get your missing episodes.

I understand what you are saying but the same air date has 2 different episode numbers on DISH and TV.com, and they should (theoretically) match up.

I am not familiar with tv.com, but I have seen sites with episode information that have not matched up for a lot of episodes from names to epidode numbers to air dates. The network sites themselves have messed up this info as well. I would hope using Dish, they would at least keep track of the original air date that they broadcast. Good Luck.

A good resource for episode numbers and original air dates can be found here: www.epguides.com. It's simple, fast, and appears to be quite comprehensive...

The same issue applies for the 522/625 receivers. Their year/episode # is off for some shows. They would be better off having it as N/A instead of something that is false so that it does not throw people off.

I hope they add a feature in the future which allow us to sort by episode # so that we can view the shows in order that they have aired.

I know that site, it links to TV.com for it's episode info.

I'm glad someone understands what I was talking about, garys does not get it.
