This issue has been discussed few times before, the issue is with EPG - box manufacturers like Humax promote ~EPG; now, next, tomorrow...
But unfortunately channels and broadcasters must provide the information for the box to display and they simply still Don't bother.

(TNTSAT PVR HUMAX 5000) You can still record ahead of time; just go into the guide, select the channel you want to record from, move to the right and press the record button. This brings up a dialogue box into which you type the date and start/end times.

If you don't know, there are online TV guides, and there are some free mobile apps too e.g. Télé 7 on iPhone and Android.

If you prefer a proper paper TV magazine, I recently subscribed to Télé 7 Jours via newsstand.co.uk which is better for browsing in my view, especially if you're not that familiar with the channels to know where to look for stuff you might like.
