Shaw DCT 2000HT Guide - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Has anyone noticed that the guide in the DCT only goes 2-3 days in advance and the program information when you press info, only goes 1 day in advance. ex. today at 1 pm on prime is Roseanne if I push info I get the program information, yet if i push day plus on the remote, at 1 pm tommorow it says roseanne but if i push info I get no info about the show, it is like this for most all my channels and has been like this for the past week, ever since they added those 3 HDTV channels. Has the program memory on the DCT finally maxed out and therefore can't get more than 23 hours of program information? I have even tried reseting my DCT and still only 23 hours of info.

exact same here in vancouver on the dct 2000. I think its the physical limitations of the 2000 and there is just not enough memory. For once I'd like to see what show's going to be on 5 days from now...

Weekends are good, I can get 1-2 days of info when I look on Friday, but by Monday the guide is only for 23 hours again for program info, the titles are there for 2-3 days but info for only 23 hours, this cycle has been like this since the addition of HDTV Channels on the 1st week of December here in Winnipeg, maybe it will get better in the New Year

since i've gotten the 6200 the guide has improved a lot. I can now see about 5-6 days in advance with almost all the info for every show, so it has to be the memory of the 2000's
