On Screen Display question

The display is on my computer monitor using the ATI TV program version 8.1.

I think the data came from The Guide Plus program also included with my
All-In-Wonder package.

The 'Grid display' contains the data that is also displayed in the upper
left corner. It contains the data for about a week and appears to be
correct.

I have tried evening usage when connected on-line and off-line (I use a dial
up service) but doesn't make any difference (program title is UNKNOWN, even
though it is correct in the grid) (I think it refreshes itself every 7 days,
I haven't had it long enough to confirm that it will do it automatically.)

Thanks for response,
Michael

If it works or fails to work at specific times, I would suspect a problem
with wherever that information comes from. Is it from a TV transmission
or
from online information? Either way, it's possible your area gets swamped
at times of high usage (in the evenings).

I would suspect the problem would be with whoever provides that
information,
although it may have to do with how you collect it. But since you haven't
told us any more than you have, it's impossible to make a closer guess
than
that. You don't even say if that display comes from your TV (?) service
provider (?) or is part of whatever software (?) you're using.

Follow up:
I paid a bit closer attention to when it stops working, at a bit after
11:00
PM it was working (program titles showing).
At 11:38 PM all the titles were 'UNKNOWN". Not sure when they begin
working
again.

Michael, I'm in the UK, so I'm not familiar with the Guide Plus program. It
might be a good idea for you to dl the .pdf manual for the version of MMC
you're using or look in the manual on your disc. I think that should give
you some information on Guide Plus. You may even be able to find a manual
specifically for it on the ATi site. A couple of things that occur to me,
though: since Guide Star, AFAIK, derives its information from the TV
transmission, does this happen on every channel at the same time? And do
you use an aerial connection, satellite or cable TV?

Source is over-the-air TV via antenna.
The manuals do not mention the OSD feature at all (So I quess I can't
complain about something that is not there not working the way I think it
should .

All the channels were up at 11:00, all were down at 11:38, don't know that
they went down at exact same time however.

There should be an MMC 8.1 or 8.5 .pdf manual on your installation disc,
Michael. that should have a section on Guide Plus. Also, if you check the
MMC 8.5 release notes on the MMC 8.5 page, there's a mention of problems
with Guide Star and a solution, also a URL for the Guide Plus FAQ. RTFM!

I thought I had upgraded the ATI software from their site but apparently I
only did the drivers. Am downloading the MMC 8.5 now and will see if that
has any effect. (Don't see how I missed the 8.5, its pretty plain )

Thanks for the nudge, Michael
