Why the programme guide stops after today

Compare what is present with what the source supplies

A guide that ends tonight may be working exactly as far as its source data goes. Pick two channels and find the last dated programme in the app. If they stop at the same point, ask when the source last published and which dates it covers. One channel ending early points to a feed-specific gap.

Separate downloading from storing

Check the app's refresh status, then open the guide again after the refresh finishes. Some players discard older listings or restrict how far ahead they store data. Compare the saved guide limit to the source window before increasing it. A longer guide consumes more working space and can make initial indexing slower on a small streaming stick.

Recheck tomorrow's first slot

Choose a show just after midnight in your local time zone and one later the next day. That exposes a date boundary problem that a list of today's programmes can hide. When contacting the guide publisher, give the date and feed names. Keep the subscription link private.

Questions readers ask

Why does the guide stop after today?

Check the source’s last published date and the app’s latest successful refresh. When several channels end at the same point, compare the supplied date range and how far ahead the app stores listings.

Should I increase my EPG history when the guide is slow?

Check available storage and whether you need older listings first. A longer history can make the local guide larger. Use the smallest retention window that covers the viewing task.

Why does one guide list tomorrow while another stops tonight?

The data sources may publish different time windows, and the apps may keep different lengths of guide data. Compare the last entry on two channels and the last successful refresh. That tells support whether to inspect the supplied schedule or the app’s storage.
