You’re probably using the FreeTV/pbbtv guide. Turn that shit off.
You have to visit the channels first for the EPG to populate for them.
Unless your tv has dual tuners, which most don’t because $, or use an internet connection to populate the TV guide, that’s how digital TV guides work. Remember the analog TV guides? Yeah. You had to go and buy a paper…
Alternatively, you can visit any of dozens of online tv guide websites and get heaps more info with links to imdb etc for info and ratings. I don’t even know why TV epgs are a thing…

Some TVs will sweep through the channels populating the EPG while the TV is ‘off’ or store EPG data it received earlier, so as long as it’s been plugged in recently it’ll have a reasonably up to date EPG data right away.

The EPG on my old TV was brilliant.
Any suggestions for online TV guide sites? I presume some of them might be better than others.
