This seems to occur randomly, and more frequently on the Media Center PC (~60% of the time) versus the Xbox (~25%). Once the guide is loaded the first time, it will be fine the next time I try to re-open it. And scrolling through the guide is also fine in all cases. Previously, I was having issues with the guide scrolling slowly as well. I made edits to my host file to fix that issue, since the episode images downloaded with the guide data were enormous. The host file changes were:
Code: Select all
127.0.0.1 images-eds.xboxlive.com
::1 images-eds.xboxlive.com
127.0.0.1 images.windowsmedia.com
::1 images.windowsmedia.com
I don't really know what else to check. I don't think it's my HDD, as it has been fine for years, and there have been no significant changes recently. Also, it seems to occur randomly, so I'm not sure what kind of process my be interfering, or what Media Center would try to load sometimes, but not every time. Could it be the hosts file edits, and Media Center is freezing while it tries to connect to the servers and fails? Any ideas?
