Contour Guide... Request/Suggestion/Problem

Why doesn't the Cox Contour guide Display the Series number and episode number e.g.. S1-E2 and the subtitles for shows so you know which one you are looking at, which gives you more information than just the information alone because the Big Bang Theory does it e.g... The Big Bang theory, Season4 Episode 10 The Alien Parasite Hypothesis, and so does every other TV show instead of just The Big Bang Theory or just the title of any other show,I know that the Direct TV Genie does it and arranges the recorded shows in order, and you can get more information from the TV guide App on your Smart Phone than the contour guide typically gives you. So, why doesn't Cox update the contour guide to show such information that will be very helpful to people watching TV.

That info is available on some programs by pushing the "INFO" button once or twice.

Hi ManMade,

We work closely with each network and provide the on-screen programming guide content exactly as it is received from our broadcasting partners. It looks like some shows include the episode number in the full program description and some do not. For example, tonight's episode of Supergirl includes "Episode 108" in the full description. You can find the full program description by highlighting the show title in the Guide and pressing the Info button.

I'm new to this interface, But it definitely seems to be lacking in some areas because there is room on the banners for the Season number and Episode number and episode subtitle because every series on TV has all of this information I just think it should be available on both the short description and the long description. However I have noticed the information on the Long description after pressing the info button but it could still use the information described above not just the episode number and subtitle because some shows have hundreds if not thousands of episodes and nobody knows the what number goes with what season, that is why the season number and episode for that season are important, and the recorded programming should be automatically arranged in chronological order.
