[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1051851, member: 82144"] Okay, but this is my last post here. It is almost 2 AM and this is starting to get off-topic. Remember the original problem was that your PC is not going into standby. ;) I'm quite satisfied with the wording. "Store..." and "grab..." are very clear in English; maybe not for you in German, I don't know. The wiki can help to clarify if you don't understand. The user would be right to think that. Of course the option is related to the list! It says: "...for the [B]selected channels[/B]". TV Server always grabs all available EPG data. If the "store..." option is enabled, data is thrown away if the channel is not selected. Like what? Please make a proposal. Where? It should be near the list because it relates to the list. Where else can it go? Also, don't forget that the TV and radio EPG grabbers are separate. So, this TV grabber option can't go in the main DVB EPG section. IMO selecting all channels by default is a bad idea. Think of the people who have thousands of channels. TV Server would really get stuck in a loop for them. No. The idea is to only select the channels which carry EPG. That is why all channels are unticked and "store data only for selected channels" is also unticked. Simply select one channel from each provider, and that should normally be enough. No, wrong. When channel 1 is grabbed, TV Server will also receive channel 2 and 3. Because "store..." is ticked, TV Server will store data for channels 1, 2 and 3. Then TV Server moves on to grab from the next channel... which is channel 2. It will get the same EPG data for channels 1, 2 and 3 and store it again. And again for channel 3. This is why I say tick as few channels as possible. It is not grabbing only for one channel - it is [potentially] grabbing for all channels for a provider. That could be tens or hundreds of channels. Also, your comparison with STBs is not fair. What they do is grab the current and next program info (now/next) for each available channel so it looks like they have grabbed quickly. However, if you try to view the full guide you will see that there is no data beyond the next hour or so. No data for tomorrow and further in the future. It takes the STB a minute or two to grab the full EPG. Same as TV Server. mm [/QUOTE]
