Media Center no Data solved. REALLY !!!
After many methods that actually worked on a previous install I had... the below worked for me when nothing else would.
Look for instructions from Posted by Larry Blanco on 7/29/2015 at 7:31 PM ALL RIGHT NOW!. At this link

This involves turning off media center items from the scheduler, and in programs and features.. adding a couple of address in your host file and deleting files deep in the program data folder. Remember you have to use Administrator privileges in several steps.
This fixed my problem after a new SSD fresh W7-64 bit Professional install. Zip Code 42420 OTA with an Avermedia Dual Digital Tuner White box if it really matters.
THANKS LARRY !!!
If you are having trouble navigating his instructions, here is my condensed version of his instructions... not necessarily as much detail. If you are scared of Regedit, or deleting files... go get your local PC nerd...
Also, I was working with a new install so I wasn't worried about a backup...
Some good advice is...Backup your PC... !!!
Start Here --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Notepad as Administrator & edit the hosts file found @ \Windows\system32\drivers\etc. "All Files"
copy the below 2 lines and paste them in this file below the entries that exist in it.
65.55.186.113 data.tvdownload.microsoft.com
72.246.56.59 cdn.epg.tvdownload.microsoft.com
Closed WMC
Open task scheduler. Run both MediaCenterRecoverTask and the ObjectStoreRecoverTask.
Uninstalled WMC from programs and features.
Reboot.
Open Windows Explorer and C:\ProgramData\microsoft\ehome
Delete all mcepg3-x folders and files.
Opened regedit32 and drill down to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Epg]
Deleted all the keys underneath "the default key probably won't delete" don't worry, that's normal.
Do the same for
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\ProgramGuide]
Now reinstall WMC from program and feature and reboot.
It will probably give a "Serious error message when you start it" That is a good thing... probably...
Open WMC and run the setup. It should now download the listing for you with out error.
Let me know if this fixes it for you.
