Of course, it??™s possible that all your settings are correct, but you??™re still getting
bad data. In this case, you??™ll need to determine the severity of the problem.
If only a single program or a single channel is off, it could be a
temporary glitch or last-minute programming change. Try manually downloading
the latest programming data to iron out any such discrepancies.
From the main Media Center menu, choose Settings ??? TV ??? Guide ??? Get
Latest Guide Listings.
But if all your program data is off, you??™ll have to be a bit sneaky about it.
The simplest solution is to spoof a different location by entering an adjacent
zip code to your own; you may have to try a few different codes to find the
one that delivers the data you need. If all else fails, try different DVRsoftware
(listed at the beginning of this section), which may get its data from a
different source.

So, you??™ve managed to cobble together a pure digital video signal from your
PC to your high-definition television, but your broadcast programming still
