Gracenote's DIRECTV lineups are outdated and full of errors and omissions, which ends up affecting 3rd party services that rely on that data like Zap2it, Schedules Direct, Plex, tvtv, etc. Part of it is because DIRECTV ingests via the Gracenote API directly, so they rarely tell them about lineup changes.
