Sony RDR-HX715 and TV Guide - recent problem?

[bjl_avs]

Is anyone with a Sony RDR-HX715 still getting the TV Guide On Screen
(tm) interactive program guide?

Mine stopped being loaded with new entries a few days ago?

TVGOS is having problems all over the country, it depends where you live as to whether it's still available in your area. If your OTA it's just a matter of a month anyway and it will all be gone. Cable and SAT may be different since cable may continue to send out analog.

My TV Guide info has correctly loaded again as of this morning. I hope it continues to function past Feb 19.

Does anyone know of the industry plans related to this, e.g. as the previous poster mentioned, will the cable industry continue to supply this info in its analog feeds?

If you're on cable you might want to call your cable company and let them know analog TVGOS is important to you. Some people have called and there told yes and some people get the runaround and the person who they talk to doesn't seem to even know what TVGOS is, let alone if they'll continue to carry it.
Personally I think we have a better chance of keeping it if people call and the cable companies know were interested in it. After all now they they'll have to make the added effort to insert the TVGOS into there analog host channel where as before they just passed it on from your local "analog" channel which will be going away quite soon.
