Firstly as I can see with many others very impressed with RC3, well done.
Not sure how/if this is meant to work so looking for a clarification. On bringing the PC out of standby and going straight to watching live TV I would've thought the TV-Server should use the second tuner on the hybrid card I have to update the EPG. On checking the status of the second card it just sits there idle and the EPG remains the old one that saved prior to bringing out of sleep. Only when I stop the TV does the EPG start to update on the same tuner.
I'm pretty sure I have the hybrid card setup correctly in two groups as per the wiki. I have EPG grabbing with timeshifting and idle both ticked in the TV Server Gen Settings.
Any thoughts appreciated.

    AFAIK, epg will only be grabbed if all cards are idle, i use and-81's TVServer monitor and that only ever registers epg updating when both cards are idle, same as if you are in TVServer config\manual and hit the epg refresh button, wait for grab to start and then hit timeshifting, epg immediately stops.

    Whether this will ever change in the future, who knows, but dvb epg grab does cause problems for some systems, so could be part and parcel of some fix for that.
