I have the same problem. I guess it might become a problem if there is ever anything I want to watch on ITV, but in time since Vista was released, its never come up. Thanks for the tip anyway, I’ll try it when I get home. So I know what I’m avoiding watching.

It seems as though this is a general bug, one of my friends installed Vista (Brand spanking new) over the weekend and had the same problem!

Thanks so much, was about to pull my hair out after manually recording programmes for the last three weeks. All sorted now. Thanks again.

This didn’t work for me. The problem channels were all ITV and Channel 4 channeles. I had to rescan for channels to get the data back into the guide. The first scan I had all ITV channels missing, a second scan brought them back and the guide data was there.

That was fantastic advice. I done exactly as you said. I’m in Scotland so my version of ITV is called stv. So, I went into “Settings -> TV -> Guide -> Add Listings to Channel”. I then selected stv and told it to use the channel listings for BBC Xtra 1 (or some other BBC channel). I clicked “Save”. Then I went back into the channel 3 entry (which now says BBC Xtra 1) and I changed it back to STV. This time, however, the STV was in uppercase when before it was in lowercase. I think this is what was causing the issue. When I clicked ’save’ the channel listings reappeared. Wonderful. Thank you!
