I think that this issue will also affect WMC users when they get the next update (some of you may have already been affected).
For now, I have disabled updates on my system by putting the following in my c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file (remove any other reference to these domains if you have them in there from previous Windows server issues):
Code: Select all
0.0.0.0 data.tvdownload.microsoft.com
0.0.0.0 cdn.epg.tvdownload.microsoft.com
If anyone else knows of a better way to do this, let me know.
Some of the channels affected are:
USA
BBC America
FXX
AMC
HBO
LAFF
CBS
NBC
MSG
CNBC
MSNBC
TBS
BRAVO
Disney XD
Disney Jr.
And these are just the ones I spot checked during prime-time for tomorrow and the following day.
I'd advise that you block your WMC box from connecting until this issue is resolved.
If you use EPG123 with Schedules Direct/Gracenote data, this issue will not affect you, so no need to do anything.
