No locals / other channels - guide data missing

So damned microsoft.
No data for local channels after 7pm tonight - of course, right before prime time.
I've done all the reset, and now I have a mess to go through, but yeah. no guide.

any way to prevent this from happening in the future?

Thanks.
Figured it out... ROVI changed the names of the stations!
So I have to go through and "edit sources" to make them match up again...

GD! It's happening again.
guide info says guide expires 3/30, but no local channels have data after tonight, and other cable stations (great american country, bravo, OWN, etc) don't have data after 9pm tonight...
WTF~

Might be related to this post. Somebody over there might have some ideas for you. When you say local channels are you talking about Over the Air (OTA)?
