Well that's odd.   I'm not seeing that behavior, the games today were not
updated.   Perhaps it's a data source issue.   I'm not sure how to verify
exactly what schedulesdirect is sending for guide data.

In any case, if others are not seeing this it seems like something for me
to debug on my own.  Thanks for the responses.
