My Media Center has not updated its guide in several days.  It only goes out as far as 8/27/08 which is 9 days.  It usually goes out 12 or 13 days.  I have tried manually updating the guide and it says update successful but the date is still 8/27/08.

I am having the same issue on 2 PCs. 

Is this an issue or is it just that the guide provider has not updated their listings?

Thanks for your help,

jeff

Thanks..I just posted it there....

Many times I have noted delays in the guide updates, but never to the extent that it actually caused a serious problem such as a missed recording, etc. Usually I just wait and it resumes the updates a day or so later.

Thanks....I have just never gone under about 8 to 9 days of listings before a guide update that is why I am getting concerned.  Hopefully, an update will come in the next day or so.

I had this problem using TV Pack 2008 after I changed a channel name to use download epg data, as it showed no broadcast epg data.  Although the channel then showed current listings, all subsequent downloads failed to update the epg data until I changed the channel name back.

If this does not apply in your case, I'd suggest renaming your EPG directory to EPG.old and rerunning TV Setup to recreate the guide data from scratch.

Hi,

Thanks for your help!!  It actually finally updated overnight.  I guess there were just no new guides until last night. 

I am ok now!!

 

Thanks again,

jeff

 

Remember it says UP TO X number of days...

I have had mine go low on Vista a few times as well.

The data provider is zap2it so when in doubt check their site and see how far out their data goes.

this happened to me at the same time, and is happening to me now (not updated in 4 days). Is it happening for you also? Mine shows an end date of 09/01/2008.

Hi,

I recently posted that my Media Center PCs are not receiving updated guides as often as they used too.  I have two PCs, one with Vista Home Premium and one with Windows XP Media Center 2005.  They both show the same guide listings.

I used to constantly have 12 to 13 days of guide listings.  For the last 2 weeks, I updated with 9 days left and now I have listings until 8/31/08 which is only 8 days from now.  I have updated manually as well as automatic.

Is there a link to a site that shows what the updated listings should be?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

 

 

 

I Have the exact same problem.

If you do find any answers please let me know.

Thanks!

Do you think it is just because they do not have updated guide listings out yet?

I am having the same issue with two different PCs so  I think that is the issue but am not fully sure.

I am seeing the same thing also. No guide data after the 31st. I have even tried to update the guide but that has not helped.

I have tried manually updating the guide as well.  I even downloaded a different cable companies guide into my guide and the date still went out to 8/31.
