Users from across the country are complaining that Media Center did not pick up changes to channel assignments that took place on Friday. Microsoft's implementation uses a static channel list that is distributed with the program guide to determine what frequency is assigned to each channel. Someone forgot to update those lists. Users either have to wait for Microsoft to fix the problem, or manually edit the configuration files."

Doesn't seem like _very_ exciting news. Yes, nobody rescanned my MythTV for me either and a couple networks were on the move here too. And I picked up 5 hip, young Holy Cheeses subchannels, one of them in Spanish, since last scan that I'll be ignoring.
