EPG automatic download. Disable it from Guide settings.

It's probably waking up to download the EPG every day.
I wouldn't think you'd want to disable that. There is
a utility available at www.thegreenbutton.com/downloads.aspx
that you can use to change the time it downloads.

Thank you very much. I had suspected the guide was doing this but I didn't
know how to prove it. One last question since you seem to know a lot about
this area, What I'd really like to have is the program guide to be downloaded
whenever the computer is on. I'd even be willing to disable it and only
download it when I want to use the TV. I don't really use the PC as an
automatic DVR/TV. Would you know which software component does the download?
When I end all the eh* processes that are running, the pc will not wake up
from hibernate...I didn't try, but I'll bet media center probably wouldn't
work either. The "Guide Time" software is good such that I can pick a time
when I'm more likely to have the PC on, but it isn't exactly what I want. If
I could just manually do the download, that'd be great.

Thanks,
David

To disable automatic EPG downloads:
Settings -> General -> Automatic Downloads Options -> Manual Download

To manually download the guide:
Settings -> TV -> Guide -> Get Latest Guide Listings

So does mine.

But, as I'm using my computer almost every day, I wonder why mce would have
to power it up in the middle of the night every day instead of just
downloading the epg when it's on after all.

So far I have disabled automatic downloads of the epg, but:

Isn't there any way to set automatic downloads to only occur when the
computer is powered up?

In your eventvwr you can see it wakes up for downloading your guide. There
is a script to change the synch time. I still wonder why this is the
mechanisme for doing that. Why it's not possible to adjust this schedule for
weekly or manually with a simple button in the guide.

I ended up looking at this setting, and it already said Manual Download, but
my event viewer indicates that the EPG is set to download at 7:21am eveyr
morning...

Do you know what the associated registry setting would be? There is a dl key
where dlRegTime is time that it downloads, and this is set to 0 (which I'm
assuming is disabled)?
