    Guide acting up again

    ADVERTS 1
    Awoke this morning to good and bad news:

    Good news - I now have a full 6 days of programming information, that's right SIX days! I had to scroll right to next Monday afternoon at 2:30PM before it ran out.

    Bad News - I've lost about 80% of my channels!

    What the h!!??

    Now I could be wrong but I don't remember having all these problems when the IPG was on G0. Since it moved to G1 it's been one problem after another and I'm really getting tired of it! .

    I just read on satforums that the guide is screwed up for many. I guess we need to call NPS & SRL and get them to contact Motorola again. G1 vs G10 has nothing to do with it. It's probably the program that Motorola is using a very corrupted. I heard there was a fiasco when they were moving HITS to C band and tried to clean up the data base and did a cut and paste to get it back up again. Probably haunting them now.

    I'll have to use my unsubscribed direct tv receiver and a pizza dish I threw up there to use there guide till they fix the 4D. Actually if anyone wants a nice guide for free toss up a 18" pizza dish on 101 and use a donated old direct tv receiver for it. I use it to check schedules when generics are ITC on the 4DTV.

    I notice the EPG for many channels is incorrect. TCM, FMC, ALTV, TVLand to name a few examples. Many titles and programs are wrong or start - end times for movies also incorrect.

    I noticed it after the time changed 2 weeks ago.

    I just power reset my 922 in order to get SyFy to show up again.
    Azbox Elite and Ultra, 4DTV DSR922/HDD-200 (non-bricked 4160 EMM), Paraclipse-12 with C2, KTI CKD-12 w/DMX741, WS9036/DMX521/SG9120, Sony Bravia 46", Sony BluRay models BDP-S360 and BDP-S570, Onkyo 6.1 Amplifier, too many remote controls.

    Move your dish to G1 and set your channel to 3 or 150(Stars) and press the guide button and let it set until your guide loads up. Or unplug your receiver for 60 sec. Plug back in and do nothing for about 1/2 hour. That should download your guide.
