    Should now be another defunct setting, as the inner workings have dramatically improved, this used to be handy for the likes of uk freeview (dvb-t), where you had to increase the timeout to 12-15 to get anything, but now works with the 10 setting :)

    -why is grab EPG while recording/timeshifting off by default ? - is there a catch ?

    Some cards just do not handle this well, so its OFF by default, if you have any TV watching\recording issues then disable this first and see if it goes away.

    -what does "refresh" after 240 minutes settings do ? - refresh a channel after 240 minutes, or the whole EPG

    Updates any new programs found over all channels, this is more than sufficient for most peoples needs.

    Thank you.

    My settings:
    While idle : idle set to 17 minutes refresh to 240
    When timeshifting, enabled, 12minutes,
    "Always try to fill holes" is enabled

    EPG grabbing is selected for all channels.

    I am using DVB-S, CanalDigital,
    Watching VH1 Classic (on the 1-week EPG transponder) populates the EPG with only 2 days.
    wathing other channels gives only current+next program.

    It does not seem like the idle mode does anything good.

    Do you have any suggestions ?
