I had these in the past with SD particularly with the Discovery
Channel but to SD's defense we find the local papers copy of TV Guide
to be wrong so many times that my girlfriend has given up on using it
and asks me to check myth to see what is really on tonight..

I think the big problem here is the networks do not always send the
correct data to the people who collect this data.
