    Some were but I did a refresh epg and when it re-built the EPG it was all ok again. Have you applied the XP DST patch to all your PCs?

    Hi All, new to the forum and would like to ask a few questions.
    I have my system all up and running, both thru Sat and Analog. EPG works fine...what I would like to know is if anyone has some good links for the weather maps?
    I have a Samsung 43" Rear Projection connected to my HTPC via S-Video and the picture is slightly blurry. The TV Supports HDTV but apparently only for TV, what ever that means. Is there a way that I can get a clearer picture?

    Thanks in advance.

    My EPG is out by one hour - i.e. the 6pm news is shown as startin at 5pm :-( I have the DST Pacth installed (but it didn't automatically correct for daylight saving - I had to set the time manually last weekend). I've manually refreshed the EPG but is is still one hour out. At the moment the only way to set the EPG up so it is useable is to put my clock 1hr back - at least then the current programme on the guide is what is actually showing. Obviously this is less than ideal so if anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them! (if I go into my BIOS is the system time the same as what you see on the screen or is that the time I should be looking at/changing to DST? I don't want to do a restart if I don't have to because that usually results in having to rescan for digital TV channels etc)

    A quick update on the BSOD episodes I was having a while back. I finally bit the bullet and did a complete re-build using only the latest drivers etc. - BSOD still appears :-( but it'is only when I try to turn MP on while it's recording so I avoid doing that! :)
