Not able to setup program guide in India, need the right zip code

Using a Vaio preinstalled with Vista Home Premium

I called the Microsoft India support and they say PG is not availiable in
India, told about them about this link
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/mediacenter/getstarted/guide.mspx
Then the guy says "The article is outdated and he's gonna forward the issue
to remove India from the list", Unbelievable!

Anyways the specific issue I have is that when VistaMC asks for the zip
code, enterning my pin code comes up with Error "Guide Listings Not Available"

Here is amother person with the same issue:

This would need to be reported using the EPG error submission form. I don't
have the link for the one for India.

Here's the link to the US page, but it probably won't do you much good

Hi Robi,#


I am facing the same issue. Have you found a solution?
I bought a Media Center and no guide
Microsoft is misleading customers and we should all get together and bring a
class action law suit against them, they should know better.

just FYI, I'm using a Lenovo PC with Vista Home Premium. MS also states
that they support the TV guide for India on XP. Is there anyone out there
using XP that has managed to get the guide to work or is that also another
one of their scams to get unsuspecting consumers top part with their dollar/
rupees???
