Hi Susan Fantastic!
I selected “Update DVD Program Guide” from the little Settings drop down menu (same menu in both Channels and Program Guide windows). Around 6500 programs later (took a few minutes) I now have a populated Program Guide for all my active channels for the next week. (I spelt out the details in case I have to refer to it again in the future.)
