    Since installing MP I've had an issue with duplicated descriptions for some programmes in the EPG. This has occurred for all of the builds I've used up to and including RC1. A couple of examples of what I'm talking about are as follows (copy and paste from MPTvClient):


    14.06.08 10:00-11:00 The Official NZ Top 40

    This is an issue for several other NZ users and may be something to do with the way the Freeview EPG is transmitted here. We're unsure of the cause. One user has implemented the following workaround:


    C:\MediaPortalServer\TVLibrary\TVDatabase\TvBusine ssLayer\EpgDBUpdater.cs

    around line 344 in version 18513

    description=EvalTemplate(_descriptionTemplate, values);
    int len=description.Length;
    if (len > 1)
    {
    string rightD = description.Substring(len / 2, len / 2);
    string leftD = description.Substring(0, len / 2);
    if (leftD.Equals(rightD))
    description = description.Remove(len/2);
    }



    I've attached log files from my system immediately following a "refresh EPG" option from the manual control within TV Server.
