Up until last week Windows Media Center was working fine for me. It would
d/l daily the tv program guide but then all of a sudden it stopped doing
that. Now it says download programming data guide, 0 percent complete. When
I click on the guide info itself, it says no data available, and I get a
little popup saying Guide listings are still being download OK. The thing
is it's been downloading for days then but nothing is happening. I'm using
Vista home Premium. Is there anything I can do to get this working again? I
sure would appreciate any help you can give me.

Have you tried rebooting? Verified that the MCE machine can connect to the
internet?

As a worst case fix, just run thru the tuner setup inside Media Center
again. I had to do this recently with my tuners (tuner issue, not a guide
issue, but still). Took about 10 minutes and seems to be working fine now.
