Workaround for no television guide available in Windows Media Center after July 2. I have been a Windows Media Center user for a while as can be easily seen from the variety of blog posts which I have written on this topic as shown below Whats the issue Recently I found that no programs were scheduled for recording on my Media PC. This is pretty much unheard of in my household so this started ringing some alarm bells. With some debugging I found that the television guide was not updating correctly for my over antenna signals. The issue was easy to see when opening the guide which looked a lot like the screenshot below. From this article http www. Electronic Program Guide EPG data was converted from Zap. It to Rovi. This conversion appears to have been the cause of having no television guide information available in Windows Media Center after July 2. I went through a variety of debug steps which did not resolve the issue. Handcraft more than ever is a strong direction for the future.

TaskI recommend avoiding the tasks above if you media center system is currently working but is just missing the guide data. I found an existing discussion on this topic at https connect. FeedbackDetails1. From discussions on this thread and recommendations from ewtaylo. I was able to put together a workaround which works for my system and from feedback Ive received in twitter it appears to be working on other systems. This blog post will provide the steps that I used for this workaround and suggestions for this issue going forward. Workaround Details The steps which I took to work around this issue are as follows Remove the media center feature note, this is only required if you cannot successfully re run the TV tuner setup in Windows Media Center and reboot system. Re add the media center feature. Re run the tv tuner setup trying other local zip codes. The key on this was to start with the closest ones to your existing zip code and radiating outward see http zipmap. Texas. htm for an example of a website which shows this type of information. Since this is a guide for over the area transmissions, zip codes which are close by should be sufficient. You can put in your own zip code and find others around you. As an example if you live in Houston UPDATE I have gathered all of the valid zip code information which Ive been able to find online and combined it at https onedrive. E0. 95. 79. CA8. AEAC02. A failure to get data for the zip code you entered will show up with an error like the one shown below. Do not continue past this step, go back and try another local zip code. To determine if the zip code you entered is working refer to the underlying log file available in c programdatamicrosoftehomelogsFirst. Run. log.

After completing the setup the guide listings message indicating a successful update appeared a few minutes later. A successful update to the guide was able to be show that the data was successfully being gathered from Rovi as shown below. And a successfully populated guide is the final step in validating that the new guide is now functioning correctly. Reference links Summary In my environment I was able to work around the issue by trying a variety of local zip codes until one of them would populate the television guide data correctly. Suggestions For Microsoft on this issue going forward its critical to the user community that the guide data is available for all locations. In the interim, having a list of acceptable zip codes would be a huge assistance for other people in the community who are running into this issue. UPDATE 73. 02.
