Vista WMC - resetting the guide?

#1

Post by rmeden » Thu May 18, 2017 3:40 am

I have an old Vista WMC box that is using the Rovi guide.

I'm getting data for some stations, but not all.

Is there a way to blow away the guide database (to reset it), but keep my list of scheduled recordings?

I think there's a button in EPG123 to do it, but since I'm on Vista I have to do it manually.

I tried an initial setup, but after that it still had the same problem.

Not sure about EPG123 but....

I use Sean's WMC Backup to save Scheduled Series in a Rovi Guide.

WMC "Factory Reset" is usually good enough.

On messier jobs uninstall WMC from Programs and Features and reinstall from the same place.

Occasionally I have deleted the 2 ehome folders prior to reinstall.

Might have been discussed previously over here....
