Default Freesat EPG - Channel 5

Has anyone else noticed that the Channel 5 listings in the Freesat EPG
are a mess at the moment. This is from 2 Humax HDR boxes.

The Freeview version is OK and matches printed listings and the schedule
on C5's website:
http://www.channel5.com/schedule

The Freesat EPG shows Spiderman finishing at 22:00. The Freeview EPG and
the other sources show it as finishing at 21:05 and being followed by
World's Greatest Heroes and then the News (21:55 to 22:00).

There was a similar mess yesterday evening.

Looking back a few hours in the Freesat EPG it shows some slots as "TBA
60'" and then movies that are completely different from those shown in
other listings.

I realised there was a problem yesterday evening when I had left a box
to record Big Brother. I noticed that the box had stopped recording at a
time when I expected the show to still be going. I checked and BB was
indeed still being broadcast. The EPG showed that another programme had
started even though BB was still being broadcast. The box seemed to be
using recording timings from the incorrect information in the EPG.

It looks as though the Freesat EPG is OK for tomorrow. (fingers crossed)
