Usually that kind of thing happens when either:

A) Their doing some kind of update

or

B) Power has been cut off from the box

If the power goes out the channels stay the same ex pt for the listing besides they are probably  replacing it the same thing happened when they put A&E HD on 616

The listings will come back shortly. Maybe your box reset (likely the case). Usually takes a few hours for the guide to load back up fully.

Boxes usually don't just randomly reset. They usually only do that, as I said, when power is cut from it, or when the cable company sends it a bullet that tells it to reset.

Yeah, it happens here from time to time when the power goes out or when my box just decides to shut off temporarily for whatever reason (it happened often during the first year we had it, but it hasn't lately). Usually within an hour or so the data is back up.

Actually it is only on channel 602 and today it came back so could someone close this topic?

Probably because he;s used to the way Matt and Tyler do things, and thats not the way I do things. My method is to simply let the thread die.

You just don't get it. I tell you to close threads when there's a reason, i.e. someone advertising, or bashing, or something else against the rules. I never tell you to close a thread just to close it.

Please tell me your able to grasp this concept now.  :whistling:

Even so, you can see he was just asking for threads to be closed for no real reason.
