What Happened to the Guide

I was recording a movie and all of the sudden my HDDVR stopped recording and all of the channels on the guide say "To Be Announced". Can anyone shed some light on the issue?

Same here on both my boxes. In addition, the recorded movie we were watching went to grey screen with no audio.

Me too. Yet another goof up from D* I'm guessing. This is getting really old.

Yeah, same in Knoxville: A momentary blip in video/audio followed by "To Be Announced" across the guide.

Yep, same here, and my todo list is empty. When I look in my history, scheduled recordings in the future say cancelled due to an unexpected error (46). As usual though, my HR10-250 is just fine.

reset worked for me - I was watching - pic turned black and no sound - as well as recording, which stopped. A reboot fixed both problems. Off to reboot other machines!

if this goes like past guide data glitches then in 1 to 3 hours we will be getting a new NR to fix whatever they added to the guide data to cause this.

Rebooting seemed to solve the issue for me.
