    Vista Media Center Edition Guide EPG will no longer download!
    Anyone know what the hell is going on ^%$##@@.

    Even a complete HP restore does not fix this issue.
    Is there something going on with Microsoft? Anybody know what the deal is?

    I can't even download my local cable providers info ...

    thx,

    Yea, I might have posted to the wrong section.
    It's my DV9200 that came with the HP Digital/Analog Tuner.

    I am running Vista w/ SP1 and seem to be having issues with the Media Guide, just recently. Apparently a lot of people are having the same issue. I think it might be due to the IPv6 protocol that Vista is pushing out on everyone. Vista supports IPv6 by default. If you don't know if you are using it or not, you can visit http://www.ipv6.org to see if you are running the older IPv4 or the newer IPv6. Stupid Vista is screwing up my HP. :mad: Some hostnames simply won't resolve. I tried unbinding IPv6 from my network adapter, but still the Media Guide cannot download anything. I can't recordaficate my cartoons that I can't watch because of my job. :eek:
