As per my Guide+/EPG query, I found the same message using Guide+ for channel selection, but strangely using the alternative EPG system, all channels are fine. Perhaps you can do the same on your system?

Hi Mikky

Guide plus is one way of obtaining epg programs, their website is here GUIDE Plus+ / Our Service
On my Pioneer DVD (manual here: Pioneer user manual ) page 34 explains that when setting up you need to choose whether to use the "SI EPG" type or the Guide Plus system. By going back into setup I can change my selection & as I said in my other post, the "normal" EPG is fully functioning, but Guide Plus has missing channels. The manual seems to suggest that SI EPG data is supplied digitally, and I know that Guide PLus data comes from analog ITV. so I'm wondering if I need to rescan my analog channels -I always watch ITV either thru my TV (analog) or the DVD (digital) maybe if I rescan my analog channels on the dvd it might resolve things, altho I was not aware that there had been any changes to analog ITV. I'll try tonight, altho it will then take another day to update, before I know if it has worked.
