If you have any other questions please feel free to let us know.

Anyone else having trouble with the channel line-up on Windows Media Center? It says that the guide listings are from Zap2it. When I go to Zap2it.com, the listings on their website are correct with new line-up, but my listings in Media Center are still the old listings. I've redownloaded the listings several times, to no avail.

I've sent a e-mail to Zap2it's support, but I'm wondering if anyone else had this issue and have figured out how to get the new listings?

TiVos seem to be acquiring new info, tho I had to force a data download. And a restart. And cable cards seem to have issues.

Other than that, going "smoothly"

Good news/bad news regarding Tivos and the new channel line-up. My season passes appear to be migrating to the new channels automatically. The bad news is that though the channel guide has the new line-up, the actual channel switch doesn't occur until Saturday. Looks like I'll have to do some manual overrides in the interim. Any chance the channel switch will occur tonight?

agreed. this completely and utterly sucks. I'm fine with them standardizing the channels, I'm pissed that much **** isn't going to be recorded properly because they changed the roll-out date.

Good Evening,

We are extremely sorry for the mixup that this is causing. Some customers with a retail TiVo and Charter CableCARD may not have the correct lineup on the day of the channel changes. The lineup may be fed from one headend for their equipment, but their TiVo channel lineup information was set up from a different area (e.g. Belleville headend for equipment and Maryville for channel lineup). Customers are still able to tune their channels to the old channel location. There is not a need for a tech for this issue.

Thanks,

Dylan

The only *possible* fix is that in some areas TiVo offers multiple guides for a given zip code. If this is set incorrectly it may cause your guide to reflect an area that is scheduled to change at a later date than is expected so we do recommend making sure that you have the correct guide loaded.

Thanks,

Dylan

Unfortunately you will have to wait for the launches before they lineup correctly

Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

I'm in Florissant and it says the 18th. My cable card tuner in my media center does not have the correct line-up in the guide. As I stated earlier today, redownloading the guide data doesn't help. Without the correct line-up, the cable card/tuning adapter won't work. When can I expect to get the correct line-up in the guide?

Well, that's ridiculous. I'm paying for a service that isn't working properly through no fault of my own and nothing can be done.

Good Evening,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. We have verified that we are pushing the correct guide data for your area. This would need to be resolved through Zap2it.

Thanks,

Doesn't work for me with my cable card. Windows Media Center needs the correct guide data in order to tune the cable card/tuning adapter.

We're working very closely with all of our vendors to ensure a seamless transition to our new guide and channel lineups, and we did not anticipate for this to happen. We request that our vendors make their updates after 11 p.m. the night prior to the change to minimize impact to viewing schedules. In this instance the update occurred before the channels were moved to their new locations.

Per the schedule in our possession published 3/20 Ballwin area was set to change on 4/21 and all vendors were made aware of this. If possible, please go through the guide setup again and verify that there are not multiple options for your zip code, which is the case in many areas.

Thanks,

Dylan

As I stated earlier today, I notified Zap2it, and so far no response at all. Why in the world didn't Charter give Zap2it both the old and the new line-ups well ahead of time, so that the new line-up would be available on Zap2it BEFORE the changes were made to the channels?

I pay a fortune for this service (~ $2.60/day), and it is useless right now. Every channel says "Channel Unavailable (SDV error:1)".

Good Evening,

We're sorry to read that Zap2it did not update for you with our new channel lineup information. As we indicated above, our new lineup was provided to all of our service partners with plenty of notice for the changes. The fact that Zap2it's website listing is correct shows that they have the correct guide listing information. Zap2it obtains their information from Tribune which also provides information to TiVo. A member of our team, who also lives in Florissant, owns a TiVo unit and it has fully updated. This means that the guide data has been pushed out successfully from Tribune, as well.

At this point, it appears that all the initial steps are covers, so we are going to need to do some additional troubleshooting to help you resolve this situation. Please PM us with account details so we can get to work determining why you are unable to pull the guide data.

Thanks,

Dylan

I just received a reply from Zap2it and they said that their data is correct and that I must take it up with Microsoft on their connect web site.

The connect ticket I opened is here, in case anyone else is having the same issue:https://connect.microsoft.com/site11...arter-in-63031

I'll send a PM with my account details, for whatever good that will do.

I get listings from SchedulesDirect, which comes from Zap2it. My location changes tomorrow, but I already see the new channels in my lineup. Somehow the old ones are still present, though, too. For instance, I don't have all channels enabled in the lineup. It still shows 780 KDNLDT enabled, but there's a disabled 780 TBSHD and a disabled 712 KDNLDT. It appears that the new channels are present, but anywhere I am subscribed to one it still appears in the old spot. I guess that's about as good a way to have it work as I can imagine, but I suppose that's only SchedulesDirect. No clue how MS/Tivo handle it.

Charter, what time tomorrow do the channels change? Is it at midnight tonight? Or just whenever it happens?

Good Morning,

It may vary slightly but currently they are changing between midnight and 2am. You may have to reset all equipment in the morning for the guide to load properly.

Thanks,

Dylan
