33021 - Comcast South Broward County. Hollywood, Fl

Pulled guide data last evening. Appears to be all there.

Oklahoma City 73159 and 73160 are working.

I don't know if this is related to the EPG switch, but one of the episodes of the new MTV series "Scream" recorded successfully but labeled as a "South Park" episode, even though we never scheduled any South Park to record.

So far, I've only come across one series that had to be re-added to the recording schedule.

For central Indiana, Greenwood zip code 46143 worked for me.

I first tried Indianapolis zip code 46202, thinking that the big city would be more likely to be in the database, but it only gave me guide info for half the channels, if that.

Lost all data by 7/27 in Portland, OR 97201 zip code. Followed MS Board instructions and changed zip code from 97201 to 97210 in TV Setup. This forced WMC to look at the new available guides and offered up 3: OTA, Comcast and DirecTV listings. I am all OTA, selected that new guide and everything downloaded and installed fine. All schedules back to normal, including schedules for 12.3 (LAFF) and 49.2 (Escape) which are due to, but are not yet airing in Portland, OR.

Near as I can tell, any nearby zip code, a change of the zip code that was used, will force TV Setup to look at the new EPG schedules offered for the area from which users can select and return to normal operating guide schedules.

Portland, OR 97229 Digital Antenna. Had to use the 11111 trick to get it working though.

After getting schedules and trying some recordings, the Roomba knocked the power cord out of the HomeRun...but that's hardly Microsoft's fault .

Denver CO had success with zip 80205 Was looking for OTA only.

But before that my media center was in sad shape. Caused by many unsuccessful attempts at repair and reloads.

This sites instructions fixed me right up.

I was finally able to download Rovi program guide in central Illinois using Springfield zip code 62703. It is not exactly where I live but close enough. And YES you can tell if you have successfully transitioned over to Rovi by going to TV>Guide>About Guide Listings and it will say Rovi instead of Zap2it.

08859 - old bridge nj was fine last night

22508 - Locust Grove, VA on Comcast Digital for Fredericksburg, VA

I'd guess that it's working for most, if not all, surrounding zips that use Comcast in F'burg.

FWIW, I just found these threads today when Guide data kept conflicting with Comcast's (and History Channel's) online schedules. I was blissfully unaware that M$ was changing EPG providers. This may have been a good thing, as I avoided messing around with a couple HTPCs. After confirming the WMC guide was still not up-to-date, I forced yet another update this morning. et voila! The guide data took more than 30s to download (fast is rarely good), and after restarting WMC everything in the guide looked good. I reset a couple series, as I'd been doing so based on the bad data. Not sure if that was necessary, as other series seemed intact.

Under About Guide I see Rovi for the first entry (Comcast), and Zap2it for Terrestrial, which I reckon won't change.

Hope that helps someone. Also, My Channel Logos users should force a logos update, if you haven't done so recently.

44256 - Armstrong Digital Cable
44256 - Cleveland/Akron OTA

I had success with most of the OTA zips (44430, 44444, 44080, 44062, 44266, 44288) in NE Ohio that I tried also. Only problem was that they included either Cleveland/Akron OTA or Youngstown OTA, but not both. Guide Tool http://1geek1tool.com/guidetool/ solved that issue for me.

Hi,

Howell, MI (north of city) 48855 works.

Lansing, MI 48915 works.

I use to get guide data for all three markets, Detroit, Flint, and Lansing since I live where I can tune most of those in with my roof top antenna. Now with Rovi I only get data for the Detroit stations. Any ideas on how to inspire Rovi to adjust a zip code like mine to include more than one TV market?
thanks, Keith

I had the same issue of only getting guide data from one market. Try the Guide Tool http://1geek1tool.com/guidetool/. This allowed me to get guide data from both Cleveland and Youngstown markets.
