One thing:  I noticed my TVL setup for some reason was never changing "TVL
DL Status."  It was _always_ "A".  If TV DL Status is "A", and you change
TVL Enabled from False to True, nothing will happen.  Make Sure TVL DL
Status is "D" and then switch the TVL Enabled back and forth from False to
True.  In fact, I've changed my TVL DL event so that it downloads the TV
listings every day at 3:00 am.  I'm on a cable modem, and to the best of my
knowledge, the TVL DL Status is not necessary with a cable modem.  So, I
just have it set to "D" every day at 4:15 am.  I've had no problems since I
made those changes.

Mark -

	The Error it gives is "TVL Error"

	Now just for some background in the past couple of weeks I
have erased windows and reloaded.  When I set TVL to true still
nothing happens.  Not sure if I'm missing something here.

By the way I would like to commend you on how quickly you respond
to Costumer Concerns/Suggestions.  Many Companies to should take notes
from you!

Hi Joe,
ECS does nothing in particular, other than running WPDL.EXE
to download the TV-listing web pages (which SHOULD automatically
trigger an ISP dialup).

Is there something "unique" about your ISP setup that might
prevent this from happening ?

Is ECS reporting any error ?
After setting TVL-ENABLED to TRUE, listen for the error bell,
and click the message-line dropdown (at top) in case it scrolled
off-screen.
What is the resulting status of "TVL DL STATUS" ?
