WMC channel guide not updating

#1

I am running WIndows 7, Microsoft Media Center. When I select "get latest guide listings", it comes back as successful. But the guide is not updated beyond 12/31/19. Previous updates had been successful. Any suggestions? Tks. Jerry66

Microsoft is ending guide data support in January. You will need to find a different source of guide data. e.g. EPG123 which has an entire sub-forum here dedicated to it.

Windows 7 and WMC and it’s guide is End of Life. Your options are to switch to an alternative guide , or move off windows media canter. You likely won’t get updates longer than 31-Dec-2019 or what some people say mid-January (I’ve switched completely off WMC, my guide shows its ending tomorrow).


There are several discussions on the forums talking about this.

EPG123 is your least path of resistance.
Note: there is a yearly cost associated with going to EPG123.
