[QUOTE="fredzebu, post: 1295173, member: 52056"] [USER=141969]@CyberSimian[/USER] Early morning here. I am up and rested, brain functioning again. The TV channel that we are examining in particular is "SBS World Movies" although the two problems (title incorrectly recorded as preceding program in EPG schedule, or Manual) also occurs from time to time on other channels. I assume that the small gaps in the EPG between programs are station id and promos and ads, and I assume that if the small gap is there in the EPG then that is when the title will be "Manual". EXAMPLE OF PRECEDING PROGRAM TITLE: Img 7805a: shows movie "Malena" scheduled to start at 1147pm Sun 10/09 (not yet occurred at time of writing this post), preceded by "The Wolf of Wall St". Although it hasn't been recorded yet it seems that this one will be titled "The Wolf of Wall St". Img 7803a: shows the Scheduled recordings list. Note that "Malena" already has date and time missing in the list and has "The Wolf of Wall St" as the detailed description yet has start day/time as Sun 10/09 1145pm. So, it appears to me that an MP1 software mod could overcome this problem, because we can anticipate that it will occur from the data available at recording start time The mod as follows: Option1: Just before starting recording at the original programmed start time of 1145pm, check the program name in the current EPG data at 1145pm. If it does not match the selected program name then look ahead in the EPG and grab the next program name and data. Option 2: Unconditionally use a forward time offset in the EPG for program name and data. My suggestion would be to use the thumbnail image offset time from Tv Server settings, or say 10% or 20% of recording time length as the EPG forward offset. I will report back what the result of recording "Malena" is. [B]Always try to fill holes: [/B]I will try your suggestion which I predict will result in "preceding program title" problem where blanks have been filled. I don't think that the other workarounds that you have suggested would work for me in practise unfortunately. One last note: I have also posted a query in the MP2 forum. I am hearing impaired and rely heavily on subtitles. If I can get confirmation that live TV subtitles work well in Australia for MP2, then I will try MP2 and see if it solves my problems, and doesn't introduce new ones! [/QUOTE]
