Here's what I did....
1) uninstalled old SprintTV
2) Deleted old cache folder
3) deleted old registry entry (HKLM>software>sprinttv) (in my case i really couldn't uninstall as it was built into the ROM by the kitchen so an uninstall may be delete the registry entry for you)
4) installed from new "fixed" cab
5) started up SprintTv, tried to get a channel (it kinda of hung there), then closed it...
6) deleted newly created cache folder
7) copied over provided cache folder to replace it

restart sprintTV and enjoy!
