[QUOTE="bradsjm, post: 53298, member: 15858"] Based on the code right now I find it difficult to see how the DVB information will overwrite the existing XMLTV EPG data if you have it for the simple reason that the UpdateProgram() method has the update functionality commented out. So, if it finds existing program information it will not delete and replace it. However, if there is no show information for that time period on that channel then it will add the new program information to the database. As for recordings, someone else might be able to help here. I know that the recordings have an ID as the key, not the name, however, I could see that IF the update was working a DVB EPG program would have a different ID than an XMLTV imported program and this might (I think) cause the recording to be skipped. I really need to take a closer look at that code however. Bottom line, I think to have EPG and XMLTV both active and have update work and make sure that recordings don't get lost will likely require some additional coding work. [/QUOTE]
