While I am really just waiting for several hours when no one else is home to try EPG123 - I was glad to see the guide update to April 20th when I tried this AM... :D

No, it's not. The guide data has never actually run out completely.
I would say yes it is most importantly due to the higher accuracy of content. Rovi is terrible for me in Canada, more meta data displayed per show, better art work for both shows and movies, extend the window more than 14 days, direct contact with SD and developer.

Want decent guide data back? Check out EPG123

Same here!!!

Well sort of anyway,....

My guide data went from April 12th to April 19th but not for all channels. Mostly the issue seems to effect the local channels like CBS, NBC, ABC and so on as they are still not being updated beyond 12th. This is a problem I have been having on this system for a while now and it seems to crop up every time there is a guide update issue (Microsoft / Rovi). I think I can correct it by doing a objectstorerecovery but its starting to feel like I have to do this every week or so.

WMC EPG is working again for me without the few channels it never updates in Las Vegas - This TV (6.1), Movies! (8.3), and Antenna TV (21.1).

Had one machine that updated to Ap 20 end date which occurred at 3AM PDT, machines that updated at 11PM yesterday and up to 2AM didn't get the new schedule so it hit the West Coast servers somewhere around 3AM.

Location California, Los Angeles, TWC

It would be helpful for our understanding of how the MSFT distribution works if each would post location when they get the update so we can chart it

Umm...yes it has. Read above...

As I also noted, a bigger issue for me, than running out, is "Teams to be determined" for sports events playng ON THE SAME DAY, HOUR, MINUTE. I frequently lose recordings due to this.

Anaheim, CA TWC. Didn't update automatically this A.M but finally did manually to April 20. Crisis averted once again (for now).
