The EPG information for the HD channels 101; 102;103 and 104 is not updating so scheduled recordings have not happened. Any clues as to why ?
I am using a Win 7 x64 computer with an August DVB T210 tuner which has worked well up to last week. Regular channels are getting EPG info just not the HD channels.

Welcome to tgb 
The recent Microsoft epg guide issues mean that you are seeing "over the air" data for the Freeview channels. This is received via the TV tuner, rather than the internet (which is what you normally see).
Freeview HD channels have EPG data in a format that Media Center is not able to use, so these channels have no data available - until the downloaded EPG issues are fixed by Microsoft.
There are a few workarounds (use non HD EPG data for the HD channels / use third party tools to get data for the HD channels).
A search on the forums will provide a few threads with details.

Thanks for the response I must wait for the upgrade from Microsoft. I can record manually as the content is shown.

Anyone else stopped getting Freeview HD guide data this week?
