New Program Guide - unusable

I want to be tactful about this - what would be the best way to characterize your new program guide - Sick Joke? In what sense is it an improvement over the previous one? It is in fact immeasurably WORSE. How could anyone at Verizon have signed off on this?
The biggest problem is that it is now unacceptably, absurdly, SLOW. Was that the intention? I asked Verizon Phone Tech support if they slowed it down intentionally , because maybe the network traffic volume was too costly for Verizon and they wanted to cut expenses. Amazingly, he did not give a flat denial to this. As I recall he said He didn't have any knowledge that that was the case.
The way it used to work is for example you would hold down the right arrow button, and it would as expected just briskly scroll through all the programming selections for that day for whatever channel you happened to be looking at, scrolling through all subsequent shows on the channel that day. (And also as a recall when scrolling through subsdequent days).
Now you hold down the right arrow button, and it scrolls forward just one show, and then just freezes, doing nothing. If a few seconds later you lift your finger off the right arrow button, it immediately jumps to say 8 hours in advance. This makes this feature unusable. How could you not understand that, Verizon?
The same situation exists when scrolling to different channels with the up or down arrows. Press and hold down the down arrow, and it does in fact scroll through the subsequent channel icons, but it does NOT, as it did with the previous program guide, scroll through all the program DESCRIPTIONS in real time. So why was that feature ditched?
The fastest it can scroll in real time now either left/right or up/down is 1 entire second. So, iow, hit the down arrow, and...one one thousand two ...OK NOW it switches. What is up with that?
For the record, this is not the high-def Verizon box. The TV on the high-def box seem to work a little better. Does Verizon only support high-def now?
And I haven't even mentioned the bizarre color scheme and other bizarre design decisions for the new Program Guide layout. So, how is it better to reduce the size on the screen where the actual program info is, and surround it with a a lot of unused white space (or shoud I say unused sickly pale blue space)? Just as far as the aesthetics of the new guide, there is not a single aspect of it that is not drastically worse than it was previously. (e.g.hitting the info button during a show and it covering a third of the screen.)
But disregard the complaints about the colors, etc. - just go wild with that if you want. Just please restore the SPEED of the programming guide to what it was previously. Because the way it is now its unusable.
Is there any way to go back to the old guide? There is in fact an option in the Menu for the Classic Guide, but it does not do anything except rearrange the new guide a little bit to make it even worse.
What is going on with you people (Verizon).

I'm sorry to hear your frustration with the new guide. There is no way to go back to the old style guide. If unplugging the power cord to the box and plugging it in doesn't speed up the guide maneuvering, please send me a private message.

New channel guide push wiped our dvr and pause / rewind of live tv doesn't work anymore

The new channel guide, which I am not fond of, we found out the day it appeared had wiped out all of our recorded programs, all of our recording schedules and the pause / rewind does not work on our dvr anymore. This would normally be ok waiting for a representative to contact us but having an autistic child at home and having to try and explain why all of the programming we allow him to watch has been wiped has caused a serious problem in our house. If we could have had warning that this was going to happen or even be a possibility we could have tried and done something to work with the situation. Now we are left with a situation where all we are doing is trying to calm our son down. Not fun...

We determined what the problem is. When the channel guide was pushed down, we were remodeling our master bedroom and had the receiver unplugged and unhooked from the wall. Our dvr was acting like a receiver with no hard drive. I plugged the bedroom receiver back in and rebooted the dvr. The dvr is acting as it should. Why would a push reprogram a dvr to act like a diskless receiver?

Have downloaded this "NEW" program 8 times...can' get past step 1

I was "Warned" that FireFox is No longer "Protected" so, downloaded your NEW program (Step 1) ...it then says (Step 2) I will be prompted to place the FireFox icon into an application folder...
THIS NEVER HAPPENS ....Nothing happens
NOW WHAT?

Create a MSDS for multiple Specifications via New Program

Hi Friends
I want to develope a new program, which will create MSDS (report) for multiple Specifications in Multiple languages and multple Generation variants.
I can pull out specifications, Generation Variant and Languages for selection.
My issues is what is standard FM or program which can be used to create report which can be utilized in my ABAP report.
Can you please guide.
With Warm Regards
Mangesh Pande

Dear Mangesh
use an "UserExit" as described here:Customer Exits in SAP EHS MANAGEMENT (Exit: C1020001 EHS: Menu exit 1 of substance management/C1020002 EHS: Menu exit 2 of substance management) and establish first an user interface. Don't create e.g. own transaction etc. Use the realy nice enhancement options using these "Exits".
In the background you can use function modules e.g.. as mentioned here: WWI for Experts
C12J_WWI_RAW_REPORT_GENERATE
C12J_WWI_RAW_REPORTS_CREATE

Modlue programming guide!

Need some help in module pool programming guide !

Hi,
MODULE POOL PROGRAMMING (MPP):
These are type M programs in SAP.
These programs cannot be executed directly.
Transaction Codes (Tcodes) are used to execute MPP programs.
Graphical Screen PAinter is the tool used to create GUI in MPP (SE51).
MPP programs are created using the transaction code SE80.
MPP programs should start with the naming convention SAPMZ or SAPMY.
EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH SELECTION-SCREEN:
INITIALIZATION
AT SELECTION-SCREEN
START-OF-SELECTION
TOP-OF-PAGE
END-OF-PAGE
END-OF-SELECTION.
EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH MPP:
1. PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT (PBO) - Used to specify initial attributes for the screen.
2. PROCESS AFTER INPUT (PAI) - Used to specify
event functionalities for the components of the screen.
COMPONENTS OF MPP PROGRAM:
1. ATTRIBUTES - It holds description about the screen.
2. FLOW LOGIC - This is an editor for MPP programs to specify event functionality for the screen components.
3. ELEMENT LIST - This provides description about the components created in the screen.
TYPES OF SCREEN IN MPP:
1. NORMAL SCREEN - A screen which has maximizing, minimizing and closing options
is referred to as normal screen.
2. SUBSCREEN - A screen within a normal screen with either of above three options
is referred to as subscreen.
3. MODAL DIALOG BOX - A screen with only closing option which is used to provide
information to the end user is referred to as modal dialog box.

SCREEN VALIDATION USING MPP:
SCREEN is a predefined structure used to make MPP screen validations dynamically. SCREEN has following components:
GROUP1
INVISIBLE
REQUIRED
INPUT
OUTPUT
INTENSIFIED
IF SCREEN-INVISIBLE = 0 - Sets the input field values as visible.
   SCREEN-INVISIBLE = 1 - Sets the input field as password field.
   SCREEN-REQUIRED = 0 - Not a mandatory field.
   SCREEN-REQUIRED = 1 - Sets input field as mandatory one.
Eg. code to perform validation dynamically for a login screen:
1. Create an MPP program.
2. Create a Normal Screen like initial login screen.
3. Assign IO1, IO2 to group GR1, IO3 to GR2.
4. In Top Include file, declare variables.
5. In PBO, specify following code:
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF SCREEN-GROUP1 = 'GR1'.
SCREEN-REQUIRED = '1'.
ENDIF.
IF SCREEN-GROUP1 = 'GR2'.
SCREEN-INVISIBLE = '1'.
ENDIF.
MODIFY SCREEN. * to update the changes made to the predefined             structure.
ENDLOOP.
6. In PAI, specify following code:
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'LOGIN'.
CALL TRANSACTION 'SE38'.
WHEN 'EXIT'.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDCASE.
7. Create a Tcode -> Activate all -> Execute.

pushbutton from appn. toolbar -> Opens an interface
-> Specify internal table name -> Click on GET FROM PROGRAM pushbutton
-> Select required fields -> Continue -> Paste on Screen Painter
-> Create two pushbuttons (INSERT, EXIT) -> Save -> Flow logic.
4. In PAI, specify following code:
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'INSERT'.
INSERT INTO KNA1 VALUES IT_KNA1.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
MESSAGE S000(ZMSG).
ELSE.
MESSAGE W001(ZMSG).
ENDIF.
WHEN 'EXIT'.
*LEAVE PROGRAM.
SET SCREEN 0.
ENDCASE.
5. Create a Tcode -> Activate all -> Execute.
LIST OF VALUES:
Adding dropdown facility to the input fields is called as LIST OF VALUES.
VRM is a predefined type group which has the following structure and internal table:
VRM_VALUE is a structure with the components KEY and TEXT.
VRM_VALUES is an internal table declared for the above structure without header line.
The above type group is used to fetch values from the internal table declared with user-defined records and insert into the input field in the screen.
'VRM_SET_VALUES' is a function module used to carry the records from the internal table and populate in the input field.
NAVIGATIONS TO CREATE DROPDOWN FACILITY FOR INPUT BOX:
1. Create MPP program.
2. Create a screen.
3. Add a input box -> Double click -> Specify name (IO1) -> Select LISTBOX from the dropdown list -> A dropdown facility is added for the input field in the screen.

ENDCASE.
8. Create a Tcode -> Activate all -> Execute.
CREATING TABSTRIPS IN MPP:
In a normal screen, we can add only maximum of 40 components.
To make a screen hold more than 40 components, we can use tabstrip controls.
NAVIGATIONS TO CREATE TABSTRIP CONTROL:
1. Create an MPP program.
2. Create a normal screen (100)
-> Add Tabstrip Control component from toolbar
-> By default, a tabstrip control is created with 2 tab buttons
-> Double click on tabstrip control
-> Specify name (TBSTR) in Attributes box
-> Click on First tab button
-> Add Subscreen Area from toolbar to first tab button
-> Double click on subscreen area

4. In Top Include File, specify following code:
DATA : IO1(10), IO2(10), IO3(10), IO4(10).
CONTROLS TBSTR TYPE TABSTRIP.
DATA A LIKE SY-DYNNR.
'CONTROLS' statement is used to allocate a memory area for the tabstrip created in the normal screen. 'TABSTRIP' itself is a data type for the tabstrip control. Whenever a tabstrip is created, SAP creates an object called 'ACTIVETAB' which is used to call the corresponding subscreens for each tab button in PAI.
5. In Flowlogic editor, write following code to initiate the subscreens to the corresponding subscreen areas of each tab button when the main screen is called:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
CALL SUBSCREEN SUB1 INCLUDING 'SAPMZTABSTRIP' '10'.
CALL SUBSCREEN SUB2 INCLUDING 'SAPMZTABSTRIP' '20'.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.
CALL SUBSCREEN SUB1.
CALL SUBSCREEN SUB2.
6. In PAI, specify following code for click events on each tab button:
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'TAB1'.
A = '10'.             * calls specified subscreen during PAI
TBSTR-ACTIVETAB = 'TAB1'. * makes entire tab button in active status
WHEN 'TAB2'.
A = '20'.
TBSTR-ACTIVETAB = 'TAB2'.
WHEN 'DISPLAY'.
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING.
WRITE :/ IO1, IO2, IO3, IO4.
WHEN 'EXIT'.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDCASE.
7. Create a Tcode -> Activate all -> Execute.
TABLE CONTROLS:
Table Control component is used to view the internal table contents in the screen.
Navigations to create Table control component:
1. Create an MPP program.
2. In Top include File, declare variables as follows:
DATA ITAB LIKE KNA1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA ITAB1 LIKE KNA1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CONTROLS TBCL TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN 100.
DATA CUR TYPE I VALUE 5.
-> Save -> Activate.
3. Create a Screen (100) -> Select Table control component from toolbar -> Double Click and specify name (TBCL) -> Press F6 and specify internal table name (ITAB) -> Select required fields -> Paste on the Table control -> To separate the fields, use Separators option in Table control Attributes -> Specify labels if necessary -> Create pushbuttons (FETCH, MODIFY, PRINT, EXIT) -> Save -> Flowlogic.
4. In PAI module, specify following code:
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'FETCH'.
SELECT * FROM KNA1 INTO TABLE ITAB.
TBCL-LINES = SY-DBCNT. * To create Vertical Scrollbar
WHEN 'EXIT'.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
WHEN 'PRINT'.
GET CURSOR LINE CUR.
READ TABLE ITAB INDEX CUR.
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING.
WRITE :/ ITAB-KUNNR, ITAB-NAME1, ITAB-ORT01, ITAB-LAND1.
WHEN 'MODIFY'.
LOOP AT ITAB1.
MODIFY KNA1 FROM ITAB1.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
MESSAGE S002(ZMSG).
ELSE.
MESSAGE E003(ZMSG).
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SELECT * FROM KNA1 INTO TABLE ITAB.
TBCL-LINES = SY-DBCNT.
ENDCASE.
5. In FlowLogic editor, specify following step loops:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
LOOP AT ITAB CURSOR CUR WITH CONTROL TBCL.
ENDLOOP.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.
LOOP AT ITAB.
    MODULE NEW.     * New module to move records from ITAB to                 ITAB1. Double click on Module Name (New)                 to create a new one.
ENDLOOP.
6. Specify following code in the NEW module:
   MODULE NEW INPUT.
     APPEND ITAB TO ITAB1.
   ENDMODULE.
7. Create a Tcode -> Activate all -> Execute.
USING TABLE CONTROL WIZARD:
This is a predefined SAP-specific component to create table control using predefined navigations.
1. Create an executable program (Z_TABLEWIZARD) in SE38 editor. Write the following code:
CALL SCREEN 200.
-> Save -> Activate.
2. Goto SE51 -> Specify program name created earlier (Z_TABLEWIZARD) -> Specify Screen number (200) -> Layout -> Select Table Control (Wizard) component from toolbar -> Opens Table control Wizard -> Follow the navigations -> Save and Activate the table control.
3. Execute the program (Z_TABLEWIZARD).

System wide error on Program Guide

The program guide for some sports programs, especially those on ESPN and MLBN, are incorrect. For example, if you look at the info for SportsCenter, it incorrectly shows "air date" of 9/7/79 instead of today. Most long running shows on these two networks have the same error. As a result, some of the shows which I record regularly will not longer record, due to the fact that FiOS thinks these are reruns, and not new shows. I contacted FiOS via chat room yesterday and was told to "rest assured" that this problem would be resolved. Well, as of this writing, it still exists. Typical response from FiOS, all talk and no action.

Agreed. I mentioned this before in the tv programming area about how the series recording feature is now useless because when you set up a series it will not record the shows beyond that first episode if the air dates and descriptions of the programs are all the same. One way i have noticed to get around this issue is if you watch a series recorded program before the next episode is set to air then it will seek to record the next one but you have to watch them as fast as you have can so that can happen or you are going to have to resort to doing manual recordings or you will miss all of the other episodes. Again the series recording feature is now pointless to have if it will not do its job. It not only applies to the sportscenter on espn that is in english but also to the one that is in spanish that is on espn deportes which also has the 9-7-79 air date on every single episode. The air dates that appear on there are mainly for when a show first aired back in the day where espn's first episode aired in september of 1979. It is not the only show or channel that has this issue as it is spread out all over the guide since the guide data provider switch happened. Another thing that i have noticed is that when you look at zap 2 it which is another company whose online guide data is provided by the same company that verizon is currently using you will see that another company like directv has the most up to date guide data information with the most current dates of their episodes. If you compare the same exact channel's guide data that appears on the fios guide to the directv guide you will see that there are a lot of differences with verizon's set top box guide not matching what directv has even though they carry the same channels and have the same guide data provider! There is a problem with the fios network that verizon does not want to admit because it could scare off potential fios customers where how they are uploading the information that they are given is not in sync with what is actually playing.

Java programming guide for Sun ONE

Where can I find the "Sun ONE LDAP SDK for Java Programming Guide" for version 5.2. ?
I have the programming guide for Netscape Directory SDK 4.0 for Java. Will that do?

are using the Sun ONE 5.2 LDAP directory server. Are
there significant advantages to using JNDI over the

IDS5.1 Plug-in programming guide.

I have found the documentation for Netscape 4 and IDS5.2 for plugin programming but NOT for IDS5.1.
Does anyone know if this exists, or where I can find info on this subject for 5.1 ?

The document you are looking for does not really exist. You can sort of get close to this using the Directory Server 5.2 plug-in API programming guide, http://docs.sun.com/doc/816-6702-10/, and reference, http://docs.sun.com/doc/816-6701-10/ The plug-in API was updated a bit for 5.2, but you ought to be able to find your way. Unfortunately for this particular case, the What's New chapter is "What's New since the last time this doc was released in full, which was the 4.x days," not "What's New since 5.1."
You might also get close with http://enterprise.netscape.com/docs/directory/601/plugin/contents.htm although you didn't hear that from me.

Updated LV NXT programming guide?

I see that there exists the "LabVIEW Lego Mindstorms NXT Module Programming Guide" for 2009. Does anyone know if there is a comprable manual with maybe a different title for LabVIEW 2013? Among other things I'm hopping for a complete list of Direct Mode Commands. I am not sure if I've upgraded/updated properly. I was expecting to see in my Direct Mode Pallet: "Creat NXT Object" and "Destroy NXT Object". Are these still part of the newer versions of LV NXT pallets?
Thank you for looking at my post
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi dunnor,
Your best bet for getting code executing correctly the first time is starting from one of the examples in the Example Finder. Please note that all those examples will work for NXT or EV3.
I wrote a program to find direct mode VIs, and found 176 direct mode VIs from the palettes. The palettes are logically organized in a way that is probably more instructive than this list. I doubt this is exactly what you're looking for, but I am just trying to be as helpful as I can be, recognizing that the documentation for the module is lean. The most thorough and up to date documentation is the context help. Open the context help window using ctrl+H, and hover over a subVI or palette item to get a detailed description of its usage.
Attached is the program that creates a list of direct mode VIs available to you, along with VI description and icon. You can find the VIs by VI name using search (ctrl+s) or quick drop (ctrl+.), or navigate to them using the palettes. The VI takes a couple minutes to run.
If you encounter any difficulties in your project, do not hesitate to post them here.

Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

Runtime.exec() - how to open new window for new program?

Hi,
I have searched through the forums but haven't found an answer to this one yet. I am using runtime.exec() to start up a new java program. At first I thought it wasn't running properly but, after checking task manager, I have discovered that the new program I open runs, it is just completely invisible to me. I am wondering how I can get the new program to run in a command window or something where I can monitor it.
Thank you for your help,
Drew

Thank you all. After trying to figure out why the start command wouldn't work in the runtime.exec() call(not an executable - I am a dolt), I tried putting it in a batch file and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your help,
Drew

Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide

Under section 1.5.9.8 Storage Snapshot Optimization:
The first bullet point is: "Database crash is consistent at the point of the snapshot."
I think that is supposed to be: "Database is crash-consistent at the point of the snapshot."
At the very least, that seems to make more sense to me. Googling around, there was a document on these features by EMC with that wording.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.

Applescript to automatically update the EyeTV DVB EPG program guide

For EyeTV users in Europe and Australia with DVB EPG access, you will all know that EyeTV will not keep that database automatically updated.
So I wrote this bit of Applescript will update EyeTV's free to air DVB EPG database.
Paste it into the ApplesScript Editor, and save it as an application somewhere like in Applications. On first run you will get a dialog saying it need access to Accessibility. Navigate to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Accessibility and you will see your app listed there. Enter your password, click the checkbox, and then try again. It should then work fine.
To automate the launching of the script, set it to run at at daily a convenient time using either Lingon (or some similar launch agent configuration utility), or using iCal as per this tip: http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_make_your_ical_alarm_perform_action
Running it daily (or as often as you like) will keep your EyeTV EPG database up to date always. No more missed recordings because the EPG was not up to date! Yay!
This is the basic script, I'm sure it can be better.:
tell application "EyeTV"
          activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "EyeTV"
                    keystroke "g" using command down
                    delay 1
                    click (pop up button 1 of window 1)
                    delay 1
                    click menu item "Update DVB Program Guide" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of window "EyeTV Programs"
          end tell
end tell
Cheers

Good morning Frank
OK....
I too have the same issue (didn't notice it at first). Having wasted several hours, I found no way around it.
But there are tools like clicclick that can click anywhere on the mac screen. So... get it from here:
http://www.bluem.net/en/mac/cliclick   (big thank you to Carsten Blüm) :-)
install as recommended (I put it in usr/bin/ as I had no usr/local/bin). Check it works via the terminal by pastingcliclick c:28,11 into terminal and pressing return. If that opens the apple menu, then it is installed and working.
Then try this script, which first puts the EyeTV window to a specific location on the screen, then instead of using UI scripting to click the silly pop up button 1, uses clicclick to clik at the location of the button. This opens the menu, and then UI scripting can click it. You may want to change the EyeTV window location from the value I chose, if so put it into your prefered position then use the Accessibility Inspector to get the location of the button, then add some pixels either side of that.
For me this now works perfectly every time, I hope it will for you. Annoying to have to install clicclick but there you go.
tell application "EyeTV"
activate
set the position of window 1 to {30, 60}
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "EyeTV"
keystroke "g" using command down
delay 4
do shell script "cliclick c:170,70"
delay 1
click menu item "Update DVB Program Guide" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of window "EyeTV Programs"
end tell
end tell
I have found that the delay after the keystroke g is essential otherwise I get an invalid index error, I think because it is not ready to accept the click. You may need to change the delay.
Also when using Lingon to launch the Applescript App, the path needs to be to the applet file inside the contents of it. ie something like mydirectory/myappname.app/contents/MacOS/applet. name your app without spaces.
cheers

"The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

this just started w/ me yesterday. I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere. I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit". Download is useless because I'm already running the latest. Quit is pretty useless.
I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music. Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

New Program Guide - unusable
