Re: TV Guide won't download, Code 23



Clean install - check!

this is a brand spacken new system. Just configured all the hardware last
night, today I installed all the drivers, then did the updateathon to the
system. The only piece that I do know that went in after the updateathon was
the hauppaug tuner card, wanted everything stable before I introduced this
piece. But as there are some here who were working fine prior to this, and
didn't update a thing today, I've got to believe its an issue with the
download and not machine specific....Hope to here an answer soon. BTW my
error message is dito to the ones above. Thanks.

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.
