Satellite HD Receiver Guide program timing is off

When I press the guide it is not accurate to the timing of the shows  e.g. its 4:30 pm and it shows a show that starts at 5:00 pm on the channel

I have a 6500 receiver that’s doing that same thing every evening at 7:50 until 8:00 (possibly other times as well but not sure).  I then get a message stating that I’m not authorized to view the program  & miss the end of it. Very frustrating!

This is affecting both of my receivers.  Example: At 7:45 the guide shows the 8:00 programs in the 7:30 time slots & no 7:30 programming is shown.  Specifically, on Channel 1202, I get a "Not Authorized to View" message pop up at around 7:45 & then cannot view the end of the current program current program since the guide has jumped ahead to 8:00 programs - Very Frustrated!

My 9400 is doing the exact same thing as well.( Guide times are off ) You can do a guide flush, helps for a bit but happens again. Plus I am still having issues with if you are on the guide and select a channel it takes you to the timer page pops up you have to manually exit the guide and select/enter the channel you want to watch

This is going to be hard to explain. If I look at the guide at 7:50 it doesn’t show the program that is on at the moment. It shows the program that is on in 10 minutes but it is stretched back. So if the show that’s on at 8:00 is an hour long, it now shows that it starts at 7:30 so the show appears to be 1.5 hours long. If I want to click on the Chanel it won’t let me because the guide is wrong and it’s asking me to auto tune the Chanel at 8:00 so I have to individually scroll one Chanel at a time until I get to the Chanel that I want. I hope this makes sense. This is on all the receivers not just one.

My TSN channel guide times do not correlate to match start and stop times major tennis competitions are a good example

Hi there @FloraGary 
Thank you for your post.
Are you able to share which receiver model you have?
Are any other channels impacted or just TSN?
Are you able to share how far off the start and stop times are?
Looking forward to hearing back.

Why is it when I go to the guide section, it only shows programs scheduled one hour ahead.

I have the same issue. I have Bell Satellite and just installed a new 6500 HD receiver hooked up to my TV. After activating the receiver and synchronizing the channels the actual time and guide were one hour off. I've done the hard reboot by unplugging the receiver and still have the same issue with the guide showing one hour ahead of the actual time.  I don't have a Bell TV home Network. Just satellite hooded up directly to TV. 

  • My satellite guide time is off, it is 1 hour ahead of actual time. How to I fix? 

I just got off online chat with a bell representative. He sent a report to tech support. They should contact me within 24 hours to resolve the problem. He also gave me a phone number to call if I don't hear from them. We'll see.
