WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER TV GUIDE WINDOWS VISTA

For the last two to three weeks the TV guide in Windows Media Center Vista edition does not update. All the channels cume up in the guide as "NO INFO AVAILABLE"

Is there another TV program guide that works with vista that you can schedule recording programs for the Angel dual TV card that can replace the windows media center will work with windows vista?

Hi Drop Zone,

Many folks have reported recent issues getting an updated TV Guide through Windows Media Center. This may have something to do with the fact that Microsoft recently altered the source for the programming guide. Windows Media Center originally used the Zap2It service, but switched to Rovi on July 7th, 2015.

Rovi is working with Microsoft directly on all Windows Media Center related issues. The official path of support for WMC issues is to log a feedback report within the Microsoft Connect site at https://connect.microsoft.com/site1145/Feedback. Microsoft will triage the problems there, and report any lineup or data accuracy related issues to Rovi for you.

I found a few helpful articles as well as one user's proposed workaround solution for the problem. Check out the following article: http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/cfuller/archive/2015/07/22/workaround-for-no-television-guide-available-in-windows-media-center-after-july-20th-2015.

Also, North Americans can go to http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/tv-listings to view the same data that is provided to Media Center. I hope this helps!
