Are you sure you pressed INFO *twice*?  Pressing INFO once brings up
the details screen.  Pressing INFO additional times toggles between
more and fewer details.

If you still don't see programids, are you using EIT or some other
source for guide data?  Either way, you might want to double check the
duplicate checking settins on your recording rules.
