[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 421254, member: 53582"] It's a bummer when things don't go smoothly. Just goes to show how different everyone's MediaPortal experiences are/usage is as well. The fact that the TV programmes I record often change (and I got sick of having a pile of "manual" recordings) was the main reason I first went to 4TR - the other stuff was just a bonus for me. With regard to the EPG not having a lot of info I still find it handy - for example I've told 4TR to record anything with "Theroux" (as in Louie Theroux - possibly the most naive person alive?:wtf: :D ) in the title and it just does it no matter when it's on. Handy for the wifes shows too which I might forget to record when a new series starts (Greys Anatomy for example :wtf: ) If you've got a decent "ghost" programme you might want to give V1.4 a go when it's released, or not :rolleyes: At least then if you can't get it to work it's only a 5 minute job to go back to your working configuration. Note: I never use "System Restore" - I tried that before I had a ghost programme and it's like a bad joke :mad: I ended up re- installing XP and then ghosting everything from there - just wish I'd done it originally...
