Incorrect date in DirecTV programming guide

I have DirecTV Tivo service with a Hughes HD-250. Tonight I received an odd message advising that I have not made a successful phone connection for 175 days (which was not correct). After I immediately made a successful phone connection, the program guide on the system showed a date of July 14, even though it is actually March 21, and stated that all programming was "to be announced." I could manually roll back the date on the program guide to March 21, and see current programming, but if I watched live tv and went back to the program guide, it again shows the July 14 date and no programming. Does anyone know how to correct the date in the program guide, or otherwise fix this problem?

II just want to ask a question about a TIVO DVR.

You can buy a used DirecTV with Tivo. You probably had a Hughes SD-DVR40 or SD-DVR80 before. The used model needs to be transferable to your account (which means it can't be leased, it has to have no outstanding charges on the previous account, etc). And you have to buy a new DirecTV card.

If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area or in San Jose, write to [email protected] and they should be able to help you out.
