I'm having a problem getting the TVL to download data.  The first time I started
it it ran great but now I try to get it to download and nothing happens.

I'm looking at the ISPSTATUS / TVL ENABLED items and both are set to 'A' but if
I change the time in TVL DL event from Sunday at 4:30am to a few minutes in the
future the time comes and goes with nothing happening.  I've also tried to set
TVL ENABLED to FALSE then back to true and still nothing. Am I missing
something?
