I've noticed that there is no guide data for Series until the 30 June where it starts again.

 Another thing I've noticed, particulary on weekends is that the supersport data is one day behind, for example this last weekend the guide showed the tri-nations rugby on Sunday rather than Saturday.

I was going to post a notice about this. It seems monochoice is upgrading their scheduling system [1] and broke the current system before the new one went live. I don't know how this relates to supersport.co.za but dstv.com's schedule has not been functioning for more than a week now. From the website [2]:

This service is temporary unavailable. We are in the process of upgrading our scheduling software. Please bear with us during this transition. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Due to DSTV's ineptitude, we will not have guide data past this weekend.

Doesn't look like they are any closer to providing a solution either. 

Seems some of the guide data is back. 

4months of hard work getting my wife to believe a media centre is the key to our entertainment needs and thanks for DSTV Guide issues I get my ass kicked  

Lets hope all the channels are updated soon!  Been searching the forums, but could not find anything about channel 10 and 36?  Never had any guide data for those channels and was wondering if anybody else has the same problem?

Saw that too.  Thank goodness.  It looked scary this weekend with pretty much no guide left.

Can't remember if there is data in my guide for those channels but I'll check for you tonight.  

What EPG tool are you using to update you guide?

Cheers

I am using ZAEPG with a 3g MTN manual download.  Checked teh DSTV site and there is definated data for channel 10 and 36 just nothing on Media centre guide.......

Does anyone have guide info for these channels?

There is no data for channel 36 or channel 10 on dstv.com today, I don't know where you got that idea. At the moment the epg data on that site varies wildly from day to day and they have mangled the categories too. Unfortunately we just have to wait for monochoice to fix it.

Yea, thats really strange 'coz now I've got a whole months worth of guide info loaded on MCE for channel 36, but still nothing for channel 10.  Go figure.  Seems the monochoice guys are taking a basing on their DSTV.com forum :)

Same here.  I am sure it will sort itself out at some point...  Oh, and they deserve the whipping they are taking on the forum.  :)
