Hi,
WebEPG is designed to be a background application, that most people have as a scheduled task. So it isn't meant to have any window.
There are a few ways to see when WebEPG is working/finshed.

2. TVguide-writing.xml is being written while its running, its renamed to...

Hi All
If anyone installing PCI card read motherboard Specs first as they will point out shared IRQ's to avoid conflicts.

Emerge is very simplistic and for my opinion the most stable shell available (i 'm using it for around 2 Years at home and at work)

jcee, I do believe that the wake up alarm fucntion is embedded in the BIOS of all new computers. AFAIK, it works just like a hardware based RTC (albiet a little more complex :-) but the principle is the same).

It does, but if you swtch channels, the timestream buffer is deleted and a new one created, also the same if you close TV down.
So example if your 20 minutes into watching a 1 hour show and you decide you want to record and save it. that will happen and you will get a file size of 9kb which links to the SBE file which will...
