I just noticed that some of the guide listings for channels like TLC, History, etc. are per-program, not per-series. For example, right now I'm watching an episode of "Dangerous Missions" but the guide calls it "Army Rangers." The keywords shown are Documentary, History, Military/War. OK, well, that's fine for some opisodes but this series also covers things like logging, ski patrols, etc.

Is there a way to get a more detailed guide or is this just an example of being at the mercy of however the guide is created?

Just create your own keyword wishlist with the words dangerous missions. If it finds spurious matches, try to narrow the wishlist with show type, etc.

I've made a number of wishlists. In this case, "dangerous missions" isn't in the descriptions.

Oh, well, good thing the Discovery network has a month of schedule online, so does A&E Network.
