Changing MCE Guide download time

Several of us have been having some trouble changing the time MS's Media Center downloads the TV guide. This seems to be a very common problem. Here is a pointer to some very good but complex information on how to do it:

I have not tried this yet but will.
I can't imagine how it could be harder.... Geez the number of seconds since 1601...in hex reversed.... This is MS's idea of ease of use...

all seems unnecessarily complicated to me. maybe someone can program a little utility to do the donkey work instead?  
its not so bad for me anyway, as my EPG is scheduled to update at 11:39am, when i'm at work. just a bit annoying that the pc doesn't always go back to sleep when its done...

  • How do I change the podcast download time?

    How do I change the podcast download time in Windows XP? It looks like the default is set to 6:57 p.m. Pacific time. I don't see anything about this in the preferences -- just whether or not I want it to download daily, weekly, never, et cetera.
    Thanks in advance

  • HT5731 How do I change my iTunes settings to lower the resolution of movies I download to reduce the download time?

    How do I change my iTunes settings to lower the resolution of movies I download to reduce the download time?

    If you're buying HD movies, you can change the setting in the Store preferences in iTunes to prefer 720p. Or you can just buy SD versions.
    Regards.

  • HT5622 valid apple id but not icloud account.  I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work.  I have restarted my computer several times.  I have changed my password several times.  I have tried to access the icloud page.

    repeating error message reads: "valid apple id but not icloud account." when trying to start my icloud account.  I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work.  I have restarted my computer several times.  I have changed my password several times.  I have tried to access the icloud page.  Nothing has worked.  Now I have this stupid app and some of my music is still not being shared on both of my computers.

    I have the same problem signing in...but, I finally got a screen saying you have to set up a account on a device..like an ipad to get a iCloud sign in ...my apple id is [email protected]   and this screen reset to [email protected]
    If you don't have an apple device you may be out of luck.  I don't know.  I'm still waiting for help just as you are...good luck to both of us though.

    i try to upgrade my ios to 4.3.1 the downloading times out even on an adsl connection. can anyone guide?

    Before beginning the download, temporarily disable your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with that swiss cheese for security OS your computer is running.

  • I've update ios5 and downloaded cloud.  I've had to change the password 3 times and it still won't recognise it, on both ipad and iphone. Is this a common thing?

    I've just updated to ios5 and downloaded icloud. I have had to change my password 3 times already because both my iphone and ipad say it's wrong. They jam and I have to turn them off to clear it.. Cloud is starting to turn into a fog for me.

    The store thing might be a good option, although at the risk of sounding too doom-and-gloom, I imagine that stores will be mobbed with this type of thing.
    And I am completely with you about the password consequences. The more password changes, the harder it is to remember them (maybe it's a "benign plot" to get people to create stronger passwords)
    I regret "jumping on this" before they worked out the kinks. It feels very beta.

  • How do you change the date and time format in Pages

    I've tried changing the date and time format a number of times for Pages but it does not change.  I'm going to the System Preferences/Language and Text and Formats.  I make the changes click on OK and go back to Pages.  NO change.

    Hi Uncle,
    Page 116 of the Pages'09 User Guide: Control Click the date, Edit Date and Time.
    Date and time can also be in a table. Format the table cell.
    The User Guide is well worth a read. Download it from the Help menu in Pages.

  • Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in monochrome instead of colour? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in

    Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in the same monochrome structure (instead of appearing in colour as it is now when i open in PS, not even monochrome)? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in my 5D)?
    1. Basically I am taking photos with a monochrome setting with my 5D and the screen shows monochrome.
    2. when i import this onto my computer and open with PS, it opens in colour.
    3. when I change this to Monochrome in PS. (It cannot read my monochrome setting with my preference of the greyscale mix when I viewed it on my 5D)
    4. my question is: is there a way so that PS can read the monochrome setting from my 5D and display the same monochrome setting as my 5D instead of a different one from PS.
    Lily

    you need camera raw 6.7 or better.
    i don't know what version of ps you have so i can't say if it can be updated to use that, but update anyway.

  • Apple TV/iTunes movie download times

    Have had Apple TV for over 2 years but in the last several months, when I rent a movie from iTunes, it takes over 2 hours for the movie to download.  This was never the case in the past.  It used to just take moments.  I have changed NOTHING within my system, nor do I feel I should have to.  Could someone explain to me why this is happening?  I also use Apple TV to stream my Netflix movies...no lag time at all with those.
    It does tell me that I would it to download faster I should change the resolution in "settings".  Well, why the **** would I want to do that?  And whay suddenly have to do this?  Kind of ruins the reason for having a high end SONY flat screen.
    Open to ideas.
    Kindest regards~
