Works fine in UK, now you just need someone from DOWN "here" to confirm

Funny you should say that - last time I tried FTR (1.5) I couldn't stand their TV plugin. Some of the convenience "behaviours" that I took for granted with MP's TV plugin were missing. I couldn't do without them. It would be interesting to know what you noticed that you liked in FTR...
I don't know why that would *ever* happen unless you don't have guide data at the time the recording is started or your file naming pattern didn't have data for certain fields. Recordings have more to do with the TV Server (since it is obviously the TV Server that records them), so unless you're using Argus I don't know how things would be any different than with a standard MP install...- You NEVER get any recordings with "unknown" as the title (or whatever the MP Plugin says, it's so long since I've seen it I've forgotten what it looks like ). Has this been fixed in the MP plugin? If not then I wouldn't even consider looking at it. Before changing to FTR I had a stack of "unknown" recordings which to me were about as much use as a pile of Videos with no names written on them (and I built my first HTPC to get away from that!)
...and that would be where our use of MP is different. I watch a fair amount of "live" (timeshifted) TV and only tend to record movies. I set schedules manually when I see a movie advertised that I want to watch. FTR is necessary for what you want to do, but I don't need it so much...- Real "set and forget" recording - set FTR to record "Survivor, Californication etc" and it will, whenever the show(s) air or whenever you tell it to (there are various options). This is great for me because I use Comskip and very rarely know when a new series is coming up - often the first I know of it is when I see it listed in Recorded TV

For my 2 cents, and I absolutely love 4TR, is I would be lost without primarily for:
* PC Management Console and web interface....
....The rule based recording options are far far superior to that in MP ... but I must admit I only use them through the Mgt Console not the MP TV interface.
