SVU and odd interactive program guide behavior

Sometime yesterday I checked today's primetime schedule in my interactive
program guide and set recording timers for CSI and Law and Order: SVU. The
latter was on CTV2T, as I recall, and definitely on one of the CTVs in the
channel list.
Just now I double-checked the recording settings and it's a good thing I
did -- the SVU recording setup had disappeared, along with, astonishingly,
SVU itself. None of the CTVs showed any sign of it!
I used the program guide's search to find it and it turned up on NBC-E at 9
Eastern and on NBC-W at midnight Eastern (nine Pacific).
No other instances.
What the heck is going on with my program guide and/or with SVU?
I've fixed things for now by setting it to record off NBC-E at 9, but this
simply should not have happened. If I hadn't double-checked everything I'd
have gotten up tomorrow to a hard drive short one (first-run!! S14E6) SVU
episode.

In article <k6sda7$k43$1...@news.mixmin.net>,
This is a nice change. Usually Seamus complains about shows that are
missing in Canada because they've been preempted in the US. This time
the show is on in the US, but it's been preempted in Canada.
Just curious: What's being shown at the times that CSI and SVU should be?

Criminal Minds was at 9pm, CSI at 10pm.

CTV bumps things to the secondary channel (that isn't over the air in
every place so those of us without cable or satellite lose the shows) when
it overloads the actual CTV channel. But what goes where seems to be hit
and miss.
Criminal Minds was banished to CTV2 last year or I guess it was the year
before when there was that Criminal Minds spinoff, that lasted a few
episodes. For some reason they figured we'd want to watch the spinoff
rather than the main show. I'm not sure I've ever caught up with the
episodes from that season (which of course had someone die but not really,
and so on).
So Criminal Minds is back on CTV, but they are shifting it. Initially it
aired on Tuesday nights, then in recent weeks it's been on Wednesday at
the same time as it airs in the US. According to an ad, next week it's
back on Tuesday nights. but I can't remember what was on Wednesdays at
9pm earlier in the season, so I dont' know what this shift back next week
is about.
I don't think they'll shift SVU to CTV, it seems gone for the seaons, at
least, but who knows.

Who is "Seamus", Margolin? There is nobody in this newsgroup using that
alias.

Suffering from reading comprehension problems, Margolin? Particulate
clearly stated that only SVU acted up, Margolin, not CSI.
