Whoops:

The last update of new data was on Tuesday 7/26/16 through Sunday 9/7/16.

Would that it were...

Same problem here. Connect ticket bumped.

Down to 9 days. Wish I could bump too, but MS won't let me see the page. Yes I am logged in to live and connect.
edit update: Weird, after updating my profile twice, it lets me see the page.

Send PMs to JonFincherMSFT & KyleCreamerMSFT

...and tell them to re-seat the power cord on that XP box that's running the guide data. It keeps bumping loose from the wall.

Last logons here in March and Feb respectively.

That we have no effective way of reporting these outages annoys me even more.

same issues, switching to epg123 next week as M$ will eventually stop fixing these issues, but to their credit i have never fully ran out of guide data

Yep, but sending a PM automatically sends a notification email with the body of the PM.

For a small fee I'd happily write them a script and set it to run as a scheduled task at this time of the year to automate the process. It baffles my thought processes to think that those closest to the product have failed to correct this issue.

Has anyone tried contacting Rovi to get them to notify their contacts with Microsoft? They surely should know the proper people to contact.

The MS guide data server is likely a 486 running MS-DOS. How's your DOS scripting knowledge?

I've got guide data through next weekend.

Since this is the summer, and we aren't recording many programs, if we get to the weekend without any new guide data, my first step will be to set up a few repeating recording rules to manually record the programs we are watching.

And, if it becomes clear the program guide data service is really gone - then we'll either shift over to EPG123 or take the plunge and buy a TiVo Bolt and a few Minis (and try that for 30 days).

As soon as I can work out how this affects my DVBLink backend I may make the switch to EPG123.

Damn didn't notice this wasn't updating as I've been out since Thursday. Down to the 7th for everyone?

Hopefully this gets fixed again, but I'm already noticing outdated/missing/generic guide data for talk shows like Conan and Colbert.

Just updated, went out to 8/15 from 8/8.

What is the name of your lineup/provider?

its working in Los Angeles for OTA now, i did a forced update in command prompt , probably not necessary

maybe the guide server got updated to Windows 10 by accident and MS had to roll back to keep the guide rolling

I have been battling with the two PCs I updated to Win10 and haven't been paying attention to my WMC PC (which I decided to leave on Win7). I remote logged in to schedule a recording for next week it didn't find it. That's when I noticed my listings stop this Sunday.
