Hello,

I've read through the old posts on this topic and have tried everything
suggested. The Error Code 33 is not allowing Media Center to download
the latest updates to the Guide.

I've checked the time/date settings and everything is correct. So is
the time zone. One strange thing is on the Internet Time tab, when I
try to update my time and date with the time.windows.com or the
time.nist.gov servers, I get a message in the window saying "An error
occurred getting the status of the last synchronization. The handle is
invalid."

I run Trend PC-cillin and turning the firewall off and then trying to
download the guide has not helped.


Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Angie

Have you tried re-running the guide setup wizard? Have you tried deleting
the contents of the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\eHome\EPG folder and then re-running the guide setup wizard?
This should effectively reset all of your guide information.... of course,
if it fails after this, you will also have lost any existing / remaining
guide data you might have had.
