Automatic Guide Update Settings

#1

Post by Mike88 » Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:58 am

I'm new to WMC and noticed the setup for the automatic program guide requires a minimum 6 hour time window. Yet a manual update takes only a few minutes.

I'm curious why the 6 hour requirement. Does the automatic process only take place 4 times a day?

By default mine is set from 12:00am to 12:00am which I'm presuming means 24 hours (vs zero hours) since the guide is getting updated. Is there a downside to leaving it to such a long time span?

It will only update once a day. This just allows you to set a window within which it will do the update. There is no downside to leaving it at the default, which means it can happen at any time.
