I haven't tried that, but I just checked and I am now updated too, so good for at least another couple of weeks

A Windows 8.1 Pro laptop began exhibiting this problem on Feb 4, I attempted several different recovery tricks I found in various for, nothing worked. After a full reinitialization I am now no longer able to download any guide data at all. To verify (after messing with the database files in //home), I double checked with another laptop, Windows 7 Pro (different WMC license), just now (Feb 6, 3pm Pacific) which showed the same "3 days left" error, and keeps asking to download, then reporting download complete, then asking for manual download again. I've tried different ISP networks, two different ATSC dongles, wifi and hardwire Ethernet, nothing works.

And as of Tuesday 2/7, in the PM, all works properly again on both my W8.1 and W7 systems. Server side issue, clearly, and those who said "sit back and relax" were right :)
