[QUOTE="wjw, post: 798468, member: 79284"] [USER=82144]mm1352000[/USER], I'd like to fully understand what you said above about the settings in DVB EPG being the controlling parameter list for ALL EPG data (at least, I think that is what you implied). As far as I can see, the data fields contained in the feed for at least some EPG sources (one example would be the UK Radio Times XMLTV data files) that can be fetched by either WebEPG or XMLTV contains one field that indicates whether a particular programme is a repeat (in the Radio Times case the relevant field contains either True or False). Having just looked at the place markers in the DVG EPG part of TVServer, this option is not there so the information that a programme is a repeat can never be included within the programme details contained in the TV Server database. Is this correct? I don't know whether you have come across the fairly new plugin called TvWishList, but this provides the very useful capability (amongst many others!) of being able to set up a long-term recording schedule for a particular series, but ignoring repeats.
