Does anyone else on here have an issue where multiple channels in their guide, both SD and HD, just say “Upcoming” and the program that’s upcoming isn’t on until 12/4 or 12/6 at 7:00pm? I noticed the problem last night, like for example 209 ESPN2HD and 209 ESPN2 said “Upcoming: Jimmy V Week - Jim Valvano’s ESPY Speech”, a program that isn’t on until 12/4 at 7:00pm, even though a repeat of the Tennessee State-Montana FCS playoff game was what had been actually airing at the time.

Yes, I'm seeing that too on other channels.

I see. I still knew it wasn't just me cause I had seen a complaint on Twitter/X about the same problem. Either they just fixed it or it's something that's only affecting customers with a certain setup.
 
If you are on the National Release software, they have been rolling out 0x1B7A, replacing 0x1B18, in the early morning hours over the past month. That would have caused a reboot which would clear your future guide.
As of today, all H44s and HS17s have been upgraded, while the rest of the Genies are still in progress. They will probably be complete this week.

It takes up to 24 hours to fully populate the guide out to two weeks.

DirecTV did confirm that it was a known widespread issue on their X account. Seems like it was more of a guide data delivery issue rather than just a temporary side effect of a new software update. I was not getting any “missing guide info” errors, however.
