I can not get my EPG account activated. I have an activation code, I put it into the activation code box, and hit the Activate button. Immediately, I get "Unable to connect to activation services".

I seem to be connected to my wireless network just fine as it is able to download the date/time and I got my music and pictures to stream to it with no problem.

What is the problem here??? Philips customer support had no idea. I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Did you setup your EPG guide from the web site? You need to go there first and enable your guide, and then set it up with the channels you want.

Yes, I set up my account online, received an activation code, and then set up the channels that I want.

I put the activation code in the remote, but I get that error message the second I hit the "Activate" button. It doesn't even seem to search for the EPG server or anything.

The EPG seems to me to be one of the best features of this remote. If I could just get this working, it'd be great. Please help!

Well, like a previous poster below -- my EPG account finally activated all on its own late last night. Without any help from me. Don't know why, but I'm glad it finally worked. Now, I've just got to see if I can actually get the EPG content. It didn't seem to download last night.
