[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1266880, member: 109222"] Hi. Maybe the background processes were active (means the scheduled EPG grabbing runs in background) while you are updating the program. And if the EPG download did not finish successfully it will restart as soon as the system is up and running again. I don't think this will occur again while you are using the tool "normal"... The problem solely is on the WebGrab side. EPG-Buddy only writes the config file that is independent of any site.ini file always the same.

In general you better use a different data source like tvguide.com (in your case) as it is faster a lot... I had a closer look at the tv.com site.ini file and it was not updated since 2016.
