Guide Busted

As an app developer myself, I hate to report app problems in reviews but DirecTV ignores their feedback email (they just send an automated email with a FAQ that is only vaguely related to the problem being reported).

If a show overruns its normal timeslot by a minute, the guide displays that show in the next half-hour time slot, even though that show only occupies 1 minute of the 30 minutes. For example, tonight (12/15/2016), there are two consecutive episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS. The first one runs from 8:00 to 8:31. Since the second episode doesnt start until 8:31, the first episode is displayed in the guide for the 8:30 timeslot. There is no way to view the second episode in the guide since it ends at 9:00 (the 9:00 show is displayed in the 9:00 timeslot in the guide).

I have written to their feedback email (the link in the app) several times, but like I said, they ignore these emails.

07/14/2017: I just noticed another annoyance with the guide. I dont know if it was introduced with the latest update or if its been there all along. Say its 4 oclock in the afternoon and I want to check out whats on at 8 PM tonight. I bring up the guide and select to view 8 PM. That works, but if I select to view the details of any show, the guide whips back to 4 PM after the details window is dismissed. Its VERY annoying to have to select the time again EVERY time the details of a show are viewed!!!
