Guide Data Turns Generic

This seems to be alluvasudden: I was checking my To Do list this
morning, and I found that all the episode descriptions for "The
Shield," "Enterprise" and "Smallville" on my SAT-T60 have gone generic.
(All are First Run Only SPs. All episodes presently in the Guide have
now been scheduled to record, including same-week repeats.)

I hadn't seen this happen before. I've had generics turn into good
data, but not the other way 'round.

For "Enterprise", they're having a vote for the 3 favorite episodes,
which they'll broadcast. The promos say they won't tell you which
episodes won the vote until just before the broadcast. This might
be related to what you're seeing for Enterprise. I'm not sure about
the others.
