Live TV Channel Browsing Messed Up After Drive Upgrade
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Tonight I successfully replace my A Drive with a larger Drive, and added a new B drive to my Series 1.

A strange thing is now occuring. When I browse through the live TV Channel Guide, it will not let me surf through all the channels..it gives me the "dummy, you can't do that that" noise.

Here's an example...I am currently on channel 2 and bring up the Live Channel Guide. I use the "Channel" button to page up and down the list. When I get to Channel 22, there's a slight hiccup, the screen refreshes, and when I try to go to Channel 23 or higher, it get the "dummy" sound.

If I manually enter the Channel number and change the channel to 23, I am then allowed to move forward through to 38. Then the same things happens.

This is just more annoying that anything else. Has anyone else had this problem after an update? It sounds to me like there may be a Guide Data issue. If there a way that I can get rid of all Guide Data and start from scratch? I'm already tried the Guided Setup, that didn't work.

Thanks.

Jeff

What software is your unit running at the moment? If it has already updated itself to 3.1 again, you should probably do the Clear Program Data and ToDo List option in setup. Several of us have had issues lately when either having to redo the drives or upgrading. There seems to be an issue when upgrading from the original software image to 3.1 now. I lost my locals the other day when I had to redo my drives.

If you do this, you will lose all of your Season Passes and it will take almost two hours with a large drive setup like you have.

Here is the link to the other thread that references some of the issues that we have seen lately.

I am running 3.1, and I did as you suggested. Worked fine, but I lost all my settings, videos, etc. Still better than not being able to surf the Guide, though.

Thanks for your help!
