EPG hopelessness

[J. P. Gilliver]

Switching to the news channel, my set told me I'd switched into
Newswatch, which of course I hadn't, as events have made all but rolling
news cancelled. Fair enough, I thought - events. But then there was
going to be the travel show - also cancelled, but also still there (in
both "now and next" and the guide). Finally, Click also out - so six to
eight hours of no updating.

I've noticed it's frequently wrong.

Finally, a trailer for the travel show was shown - OK, it only mentioned
iPlayer, but that was the last straw!

Its worse than that, a couple of weeks ago Really had a plug for a
program coming up in the middle of the preceding program, right over
the crucial dialogue of the program, The program they were plugging
was in fact not on at all.

BBCNews finally got round to showing an episode of Click overnight. I
didn't notice whether the EPG was correct.

I never looked at the EPG as its generally only a guide and must be
being maintained by the work experience intern, who does not give an
xxxx unless he can be on his phone.

On the whole I get the impression that it's not _maintained_ at all;
it's set up, maybe once a week, and then completely ignored. Very
occasionally it _might_ get tweaked if the great god Sport overruns,
though not usually even then.
