Can I manually change TV Guides Pedro_Gonçalves 24.05.2007 20:29:02 Hi, The TV Guides have most of channels mixed up. Therefore I can't program Media Center to record programs that I want because the guide is point to other channel frequency. I've the Vista Ultimate. I think that the TV Guide is obviously a file that is download from Microsoft (or somewhere else), probably in xml format. If this is true, it's stored in my disc and a chan access to it and switch tunning frequencies for the switched channels. Does any one know this? Thanks, Pedro

I have been dealing with it by knowing what is on and a doing a manual recording. Not very user friendly but I make with what I have.

Re: Can I manually change TV Guides "RichW [MS]" <a-riweis[ at ]hotmail.com> 27.06.2007 19:34:23 First, when you set-up the TV Tuner & Guide, did you enter your actual country, postal code, and antenna, cable or satellite provider information? Double-check that to be sure, by running through TV Tuner & Guide setup again. If that still doesn't match, are the call signs correct, but just on the wrond channel numbers? If yes to this, you can manually re-assign channel numbers to call signs in Guide setup. This is probably your best bet. But, if that still doesn't work... I don't believe Microsoft has a Media Center Guide feedback page for Portugal yet. Use the USA one and put as much detail in the 'brief description' field as you can. Make sure you put country, postal code, antenna, cable, or satellite provider information at the top. List the full set of station call signs and channel numbers that actually exist for your locale along with the full list of call signs and channel numbers that Media Center Guide is listing for you. It'll get routed to the corrct group at Microsoft from there. "Pedro Gonçalves" <nomail[ at ]nomail.pt> wrote in message news:%23pN8T7snHHA.4872[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...
