EPG no longer updating

[samw5]

Looks like my EPG stopped updating around 12/03/2015.

So far here is what I've attempted:

- Changed DNS to google public dns, connect directly to my ISP modem and attempt the refresh.
- re-run the TV setup. Getting error that the new TV setup data could not be downloaded.
- uninstalled/reinstall MCE addon
- statically add tv.
- ran mcupdate.exe -uf -pscn0 –dbgc
- Delete the mcepg db files
- try various zip codes
- disable/enable Windows firewall
- disable IPv6
- pulled my hair... hard
- rebooted along the ways

Still unable to pull the latest EPG. Server showing Failed to retrieve EpgListings (Error: Unable to connect to the remote server).
I am able to get data.tvdownload.microsoft.com resolve properly via DNS so I can't imagine that's the issue.

Any other tips that I could try that doesn't involve me ordering a freaking TiVo?

What country are you in? Are you actually running XP MCE, or what version of WMC? The only proven solution for TV setup data download failure is "try, try again." Microsoft servers are so slow these days that it's difficult to get definition updates for MSE, not to mention installing Windows Updates for December, which I had to divide into two installments.

I know this sounds basic, but have you tried syncing the time? Check that the time on your computer is the same as http://time.gov

Yup machine is actually part of a domain but I checked the make sure the DC was up to date....

Interestingly after resetting all the media center apps I am not even able to update the play ready plugging... keeps tossing error not having Internet connectivity which is bull since I have no issues getting anywhere from the box... and not using any particular av or firewall blocking apps.

Mine just stopped too. Was working fine for about 3 months. Have 2 other computers on the network. Their guides seem to be updating ok. Uninstalled WMC and reinstalled. No luck. Tried different zip code. No luck. Some channels update but most do not. Guide updates some of the the big HD networks (not Fox) and some SD cable channels (MTV, VH1, etc). Don't know happened. Help!

For what it's worth it reinstalled windows 8.1 added mce and TV tuner drivers and so far so good English came right up...
No idea what crapware may have done this but could waste any more time trying random things...
