Yah, I got nothing. I'll try a few things here to see if I can force the same indications. You might want to do Microsoft/Rovi again then use epg123client.exe to manually import the epg123.mxf file and do an automatch by number. You will have both Rovi and epg123 in the guide at the same time... you should, anyway.

One more question right now ... how big is your epg123.mxf file?

I lied ... got another question. Are you running epg123 locally? or are you connecting over the network?

epg123 is local. I will have to check the size of the file later, I,m not on state there now. I do have the Rovi guide on it now.. one thing I noticed last night is that my times is a few minutes slllooow not sure if that would mess it up.

I have this same type of problem but my WMC didn't crash. It started at the end of February. I don't know if it matters but I'm using Frontier FIOS (Keller) for my guide listings. I just tried using ATT UVerse which has almost the same lineup but the guide is still empty.l I have not tried to use the MS/Rovi guide info. For troubleshooting I installed the newest version today and did a Clean Start but the Guide remains empty. EPG is local. Was there a resolution to this? The epg log showed everything was successful and I manually attempted to import the MXF file via epgClient GUI and it was successful but the Guide remained empty.

Holy crackers. My problem was stupid user error. I deleted all my EPG123 files and re-installed EPG123. I noticed something - I had changed my days to download days to 30 in the previous release. I left it at the default 14 days and just added everything back and now it's working fine. The other thing I did that probably didn't matter was move EPG123 from Program FIles(x86) to My Documents in the new install.
