I am noticing the FiOS TV Guide as increasingly inaccurate.
1. Not labelling a new show as NEW in the guide. This happened just last weekend with the premiere of "The White Lotus" - Episode #1 of season #3 was not listed as NEW. I set my DVR "series recordings" to "NEW only" to avoid repeats. Had I not looked 2 days prior, I would have missed the show as it would not have recorded, since it was not marked "NEW". I had to change my series settings.
2. Shows marked as NEW, which are not. Every Saturday at 10PM, NBC repeats an old SNL episode and every week I have to delete it off my DVR as it is marked NEW. Last weekend was a repeat of an SNL episode first aired in 2023. This also happened for every episode of the new season of Outlander, where every airing of the show was marked NEW, instead of only the first airing.
3. DVR does not adhere to "no duplicates". Even though I always set that, since every airing of the new season of Outlander was marked NEW I would get 3 versions of the same episode. With only the ability to save a limited number, if I didn't go back and clean it up, older episodes would have dropped.
4. Incorrect times listed. I missed the last 15 minutes of the SNL50 anniversary special because FiOS only had the show listed as 3 hours, though when I looked online the day later, NBC/Peacock listed it as 3 hours and 15 minutes.
3. Sometimes, shows not showing up in the guide in a timely fashion. Sometimes specials are not listed until the day before, making it very hard to plan, especially for specials that only air ONE TIME. This is annoying as online I can see when these specials will air, sometimes weeks in advance. This includes listing the wrong channel for sporting events.
I know errors and changes to happen and years ago, it was only an occasional occurrence, now it seems to be happening more and more over time.
