DVR and Guide

My DVR is set to record only new episodes only of South Park on Comedy Channel, but the DVR is recording every episode.  The second problem is the Program Guide.  The Comedy Channel and TV Land are not showing any program descriptions in the Program Guide.  How do I fix these?  I tried doing a restart and a system refresh to no avail.  I went to connection status and it says that planned maintenance is scheduled to start tomorrow, but this has been going on for a couple of months with the Comedy Channel and more recently with TV Land.
