Occasionally, Windows Media Center might not be able to download Guide data. Typically, this occurs for one of the following reasons:. Your computer is not connected to the Internet or there is a problem with your Internet settings. If your computer connects to the Internet by using a dial-up connection, make sure that the dial-up connection is configured properly. The Guide server is not available or is temporarily out of service. If the Guide Setup was previously successfully completed, Windows Media Center will try to download it again daily.

If a number of channels are incorrect, try selecting a different set of Guide listings in the Guide Setup. If only a few channels display incorrect network and program information in the Guide, you can edit the channel numbers, change listings, or add listings to a channel.

A check mark next to Edit Numbers indicates that you can edit channels. Select Restore Default to remove all changes made to the Guide listings. When you select Restore Default , it turns on all available channels and restores the default listings mapping. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list and locate the channel number you want to change.

As you select each channel, the inset window displays that channel. Enter the new channel number. If you are using a keyboard, make sure the NumLockkey is on. One of the following things will happen:. The new channel number will already exist in the listings and you will be asked to resolve the conflict. If you are editing many channel numbers, you can select Sort List to sort the list numerically by channel number and view the revised listings.

On the Start screen, scroll to Tasks , select settings , select TV , select Guide , and then do one of the following:. From the list displayed, click the appropriate Guide listings for that channel. Continue to add listings as needed. After completing your changes, select Save to return to Guide settings. Follow the directions to select a new channel lineup. If you are not sure which TV service provider to select, check your monthly cable bill for that information.

The Guide information is downloaded periodically over the Internet from your Guide’s listed service provider. You’re notified that “No data is available” in the Guide if:. Windows Media Center can’t connect to the Internet to download the new Guide information, and the Guide information that was previously downloaded is corrupt or has expired. If you receive a TV signal from a satellite TV provider and you do not subscribe to the local channels, the TV listings in the Guide will probably not include the local channel package.

Because the digital TV listings are often derived from the local listings, not having the local standard TV listings in the Guide means that you won’t have listings for the equivalent digital TV channels.

To get listings for the digital TV channels, you can reconfigure the part of the Guide that deals with standard TV and choose a different TV service provider that includes the local channels.

By adding the local channels, your digital TV channels will be correlated with the appropriate Guide information for the local channels now included in the Guide. Try selecting a new region, and then select a new ZIP Code or Postal Code to see if you get more accurate Guide listings, even if they are not listed specifically for your region. You will be prompted to confirm your region. Select No, I want to select a different region , and then follow the instructions to select another region.

Complete the Guide configuration with a new selection for Guide listings that could better match the channels you receive.

If you are notified of Error 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, or 82, a processing error occurred that caused the Guide download to fail.
