[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1245705, member: 109222"] Hi. I found some remaining ".json" files from tvguide.com and had a deeper look . I can't see any obvious data related to mark a "new" show. There are some data that has no "clear" meaning, so probably this information is somehow hidden inside this cryptic data... As this is something unique on tvguide.com (other sources used inside EPG-Buddy didn't have those data) I don't know if we can encrypt this without any chance to use tvguide.com for real...
