DTV and other providers buy the guide data from a third party guide maker that the networks send their data to so either CBS hadn't sent it to them or the guide maker didn't include it to DTV.

DirecTV Guide updating

How often does DirecTV update the Guide schedule? Back in February CBS announced the 2 hours long season finale of Hawaii 5 Oh" was airing on April 3, 2020. However, when I went to the Guide for April 3, 2020 it only shows a 1-hour episode. I'm guessing CBS will pre-empt either Macgyver or Blueblood

Guide for foxnews is not displaying the shows that are on.

The guide for channel 360 just says: "Upcoming: The Ingraham Angle" instead of the shows that are on. This is preventing series recording.

The Guide

Why is the DIRECTV Guide showing the Faulkner Focus instead of The Five on Fox News in the 5:00PM time slot? Is it so our DVR‘s won’t record The Five? Are their ratings too high? What’s going on here?
