The channels have been imported properly, but the groups not. Also there seems to be differences in the recordings and also in the upcoming recordings. This isn't working well here . The recording database was already messed up for one of the recordings that I have (and I don't know hw to fix it, I tried backup up, editing xml and importing, but it was worse then).

BTW, the new Media Portal Test Tool does really delete the system log or any other event log? This is definitely something I'm not willing to do; I want to keep track on the events and not loose them every time I'm doing a test plan.
