Show Descriptions not showing in Guide

Using an HR22-100.  For the past few months, a large number of channels do not display the show description in the guide.  Most show "Upcoming:", "To Be Announced" or it is just blank.  I have reset the receiver a couple of times.  Sometimes the show names wioll appear, but then they go away later.

Show the date?

Is there a setting to show the date and not just the time? It's extremely weird it doesn't show the date.

If there is a conflict with the first showing of the show, the first showing will not be recorded (as expected). However the software is not properly adjusting to record the

When pausing a recorded show, once the screen saver comes up, the show won't play and starts from the beginning again.

Just as in the in the subject line. When we are watching a recorded show from the DVR, on either box, living room or bedroom, once we hit pause and the screensaver comes up, the show will not play from where we paused it. It starts it completely from the beginning each time. There doesn't seem to b

Showing new vs. reruns on the guide

We recently switched from Spectrum to Direct TV streaming. So far so good.  However, on the guide there is no indication of whether a show is a new show or whether it is a rerun.  With all the new fall shows about to debut, how can I tell which show is actually a new show or a repeat?

There are nearly as many commercials as actual show time in a 50-minute show.

I'm streaming an on demand TV show on my pc. It is showing 17 commercials per break over 8 minutes! This cannot be normal. Given the multiple breaks in a 50 minute show, ther is nearly as much commercial time as actual show.

DVR - Other Showings only looks for the same episode, not the same program.

When you want to look at upcoming episodes of any show you go to Other Showings under the Info screen of the show you are watching. Instead of showing upcoming episodes it only shows the exact episode you are looking at instead of just giving the next episodes. What possible good is that? So for exa

Why isn't the ACC Network channel 612 showing up in the Guide?
