Apple TV note: Keep app purchases and provider billing as separate records. Availability varies by player, version and service.
Separate video from schedule data
The TV guide is metadata that may refresh on its own schedule. A working video stream with an empty programme grid points to guide configuration or source data, not automatically to a broken connection.
Check device time and player refresh
On Apple TV, confirm the correct time zone and open the player guide refresh option. Siri remote navigation and account entry can affect how easily the grid is used.
Record what is missing
List two specific channels and the date/time where EPG entries are blank. Compare the supplier’s current guide support and contact them with these precise examples.
Before paying for a longer plan
Confirm the total charge and currency, permitted connections, app fees and renewal route. If your goal is a reseller account, check the brand-specific credit rule rather than using a retail plan as a price proxy.
