Re: TV Guide won't download, Code 23



It seems that everyone is having the same experience as I am -- the problem
started today.

I have noticed that the tooltip (when I move the mouse over the icon tray
item when downloading) gets as high as 36% download completed before the
failure. Is it possible the corruption is actually in something which is
part of the download -- that the problem is not in our machines?

Have you actually forced a guide download today to check this?

Thanks to you and the others for posting the info on the log errors. I
don't have an answer for you at this time, but..........

In a recent discussion with a number of MVP's, it was determined that the
majority of us were doing clean installs during the beta testing of Rollup 2
(this means a clean OS install, update to the newest MCE drivers for your
hardware, apply all Windows Updates that are applicable, make sure that all
MCE functions work, then install Rollup 2 and the update to Rollup 2).
I've got 3 MCE PC's here, a Gateway, an FIC and a clone, and none of them
are experiencing problems. The Gateway and the FIC are used solely as MCE
machines with little extra software installed. The clone is used primarily
for extenders, as an MCE machine, and as my primary desktop. Its got so
much crap on it, it isn't funny.

But the General consensus was that clean installs will yield the best
results, at this time.
