Me too,(I'm on Eastlink as well) I've seen this problem but it appears to
have gotten a lot worse in the past month. Before it was only visible
if you went a week ior more ahead. I've been hoping its just a temporary
thing.

I can confirm this, I've seen this too, though I don't see it on any of my
BEV guide data (I have both BEV and cable)

Well in this case the bext way to find out would be to capture a copy of the
data myth is pulling from them and looking manually for anything in the
missing time frame.
