Inconsistency between Infobar and EPG events

I'm almost sure that in the past, when current -and next- events (or the EPG some channels download by themselves) and shown by the Infobar were different from the ones EPG had already stored by CrossEPG or EPGimport, once you recalled MultiGraphicEPG or GraphicalEPG, it was "updated" with the new, current infos from the channel.
Now it doesn't happen any longer. I believe this is happening since OBH 4.2 but I can't be sure.

For instance, this is clear in the two info shown for the channel NOVE HD in the attached pictures.

Is it a bug or is it a feature that needs an improvement?

I have not experiance such an issue as yours but bare in mind that for the monent all epg is crazy because of this summertime crapp.
Usally it takes a week for epg to be stable again.

I do eperience at the moment empty epg often because of same issue.
My satprovider sends epg through TV4 Fakta so if i tune into that channel all epg comes back.
 
I don't think this is the cause, for two reasons:
1) the inconsistency is not about just one hour: the two EPGs are totally different, before and after.
2) Above all: this is something that I noticed a long time ago. I wrote today because I've been too lazy to post about it ;)
 
I assume that you as an old school guy have only 1 epg.dat file for all EPG to store data into
so i agree there is probably a bug in the epg system
Maybe also in the diffrent way screens are coded for how they get epg info.

OBH is a OE-Alliance image where all Teams share just the core and then add their own stuff like epg them self.
But this is a @Ev0 issue ;)
 
Yes, surely there is only one epg.dat and is in the hdd.
But, apart from this, this can't be about data read from this file: the current event are, as always, read from the channel itself. And... OK, it's not strange it's different from the one stored in epg.dat: we are accustomed to this situation.
The fact is that I'm almost sure (but not 100%) that in the past this little piece of information was able to replace the ones stored.
To be even more detailed and to give an even more interesting example, I think this happens now also with those channels that have a complete 8 days or more EPG, like the German, Swiss and Austrian ones, for instance. It happens that even if they need to change something and the current and next event change, this does not lead to a replacement in the epg.dat.
And again I believe this was different in the past. But maybe I'm wrong...
 
All i know is that diffrent provider send the epg stream with only one channel, Like Telenor on 0.8 west and they send through TV4 Fakta.
So when EPG is out of order i just zapp in to this channel and then all is Ok again.

But i dont now if OBH saves the epg in the dat file only or if some epg also is in the memory?
