[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 621229, member: 18896"] It might be that TheTVdB changed API results. When manually checking the results from: [url]http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=battlestar+galactica[/url] It shows both the orginal and the 2003 version: [collapse][code] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <Data> - <Series> <seriesid>71173</seriesid> <language>en</language> <SeriesName>Battlestar Galactica</SeriesName> <banner>graphical/71173-g.jpg</banner> <Overview>When the 12 Colonies of Man are wiped out by a cybernetic race called the Cylons, Commander Adama (Lorne Greene) and the crew of the battlestar Galactica lead a ragtag fleet of human survivors in search of a "mythical planet" called Earth.</Overview> <FirstAired>1978-09-17</FirstAired> <IMDB_ID>tt0076984</IMDB_ID> <zap2it_id>SH000492</zap2it_id> <id>71173</id> </Series> - <Series> <seriesid>73545</seriesid> <language>en</language> <SeriesName>Battlestar Galactica (2003)</SeriesName> <banner>graphical/73545-g11.jpg</banner> <Overview>In a distant part of the universe, a civilization of humans live on planets known as the Twelve Colonies.

So this looks to be a bug introduced by recent changes done by TheTVdB website. I just ran a test myself and it indeed picks up the wrong "(2003)" show. Now a temporary solution you can do is to disable the following option: [INDENT]Config -> "Online Data" -> "Automatically choose Series when an exact match is found online"[/INDENT] This should force both 1978 and 2003 version to show, so you can select the correct one.
