    Question Why is the EPG Synopsis on Radio Times Different Than on CrossEPG?

    Hi, See this link: http://radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e...untain-stream/
    It's for 11 Nov 7.30pm on BBC Four.

    I was wondering why both the Sky box EPG and the CrossEPG (Sky UK OpenTV (Astra2 on 28.2) don't show the episode name of "Mountain Stream" in the synopsis yet the Radio Times website does? What EPG is Radio Times using and is there any way to use that on my VU+ box? Bit annoying having to check the radio times website everyday to find out the episode names which I need to do to find out the real episode number since BBC Four doesn't use the correct episode numbers. Thanks

    The Radio Times says it's Episode 9 of 26, the EPG obtained from Sky says its episode 9 of 26 and both general descriptions appear to be the same!

    The Radio Times (published by a German company) also goes on to say it's Series 1 episode 9 but when first broadcast it was series 11 - so the RT is mistaken in its episode

    The program has only recently moved to the BBC and a lot of the programs have previously been brodcast in the UK on another channel.

    Series and episode numbers differ depending on how many of the programs have been purchased and on which channels they are shown. The BBC is just saying that it is the 9th program of the 26 they may have purchased.

    .... although the episode name of "Mountain Stream" is only shown in the Radio Times (and the bbc shedules on their website), which is what the OP is bothered about.

    Infact,
    Code:

    tv guide shows it as well.
