rollover related failure?

Our cable service provides an interactive viewing guide which shows all programming scheduled within 24 hrs. along with the current time. When "info" is selected, an onscreen display gives a description of the specific program. Today,(1/1/99)the programming grid is blank -- and the clock reads 1:39 am on Friday, April 26. (Current time is really 3:09 pm per Southwestern Bell). Any techno-types have a theory?

Yep, it's screwed :)

Well, I concur with Andy. :-)

But I've often seen some of my cable displays mangled on holiday weekends. Didn't see any rollover relation then.
