Anyone else's listings wrong?
It never fails. Any show that I may be interested in watching is always listed incorrectly. For instance last night. i wanted to watch Big Brother listed at 8pm. I turned the TV on at 7:30 and it was already on! I know it's not award winning television, but still...Then you have shows listing at certain times that don't come on at all. Especially repeats of Project Runway, etc. Why has TV Guide Magazine become such crap? There is so much useless filler in the magazine it's pathetic! What's the point of using a "guide" and still not being able to identify what's on TV? I do occasionally use the internet to check showtimes, but when I'm sitting on the couch I don't want to constantly get up and down to check a schedule.

I have stopped relaying on those listings. I know when my favourite shows air. So I turn on the Tv at the apporximate time. But it sure is annoying if you depend on the listings and they turn out to be incorrect!

Why is channel 105, USA network, suddenly missing from Dish Network with Local Channels (pacific)? This is on the online TV Guide listings.

Yep. I assume you are talking about the online listings? Mine are ALMOST all correct, but not quite. For one thing, it shows us as having TWO Fox channels, when we have only one. And it doesn't list the CW, even though we have it, so I have to edit location to a nearby big city, to see what the CW has to offer.
There are some other listing errors - shows we have BBC America, e.g. when we don't anymore. But by far, leaving out the CW and showing a duplicate FOX channel is the most annoying.
Also annoying is that there doesn't seem to be anywhere to report errors.

Oh, you can report problems all over this site, you just won't get a response. The listings are wrong, what they have of them, the magazine barely has listings, and they cheat you on the amount of issues you THINK you paid for by putting out "double" issues, i.e. one magazine for two weeks of tv, but with one cheers & jeers, etc. and counting it against your subscriptions as 2 issues. They don't care. They don't have to.

Big time errors int he listings EVERY WEEK!!!Shows are listed but they are listed for the wrong times and some shows aren't listed at all-likw NatGeo and sometime the History channel. IF ANYONE OF THE EDITORS IS READING THIS< DO SOMETHING OTHERWISE I AM NOT RENEWING~and NO LISTINGS FOR THE DAYTIME IS RIDICULOS and their answer to that was that there weren't enough people interested ot list them in the magazine-how ridiculous so you only get listings from 8PM and nioght till midnight???

Regularly the episodes are wrong, or start at the wrong time, or don't aire at all. I received the Christmas double issue today, and in the Hot List for 12/26, it said USA is running an SVU marathon ... except their not!
HOW DO YOU GET A MARATHON WRONG?
