There are several possibilities:

* The channels in question were recently turned ON (in the Channel Editor screen) and TV Guide On Screen has yet to receive its first listings transmission.
* After completing the initial set-up, the first listings transmission of the day was interrupted by powering the product ON or by a power failure.
* After completing the initial set-up, the first listings transmission of the day was interrupted by a scheduled recording. (This only applies to cable/satellite box set-up.)
* The TV Guide On Screen product was left powered ON for an extended period of time and TV Guide On Screen was unable to receive updated program listings during normal host transmission cycles.
* During the first listings transmission, the primary host station (which transmits the data) was down or off line for part or all of the day.
* Poor reception on the host station caused some of the data to be missed.
* The cable/satellite box was turned OFF. Remember: The TV Guide On Screen product must be OFF and the cable/satellite box must remain ON.
* The VCR was turned OFF. If the connection includes a cable/satellite box to VCR, stereo/AV cable connection from VCR to television then the VCR must be powered ON.

After initial setup it may take a few days for all 8 days of listings to be displayed. This is because the amount of time it takes to transmit listings information for all of the channels in your area may exceed the amount of time allotted for the download. To accommodate this the listings information is broadcast in an order which cumulatively loads all 8 days of the TV Guide On Screen system
