[QUOTE="WG++Maker, post: 718318, member: 107812"] TVGuide.co.uk Hi Rich, it's been a while with your problem with tvguide.co.uk. During that I received a similar report from another user. It appears that the problem is that the site provides links to program details that if called, return that error 500! Its either an site error or deliberate to trouble grabbers!
