[QUOTE="fryrpc, post: 273495, member: 60173"] I have come across some problems with EPG grabbing that means that scheduled programs do not get recorded as the EPG data is missing. The problem appears to be that if I start the TV Server service and leave it alone it does not attempt to grab epg and after a week in this state the EPG data that had been captured 7 days ago has expired. If at anytime in the 7 day period I view a TV channel via MediaPortal when I close MediaPortal EPG grabbing occurs OK and at regular intervals. So in summary if you view some TV after the TV Server service has started all is OK but it appears until some timeshifting has occurred EPG data collection is not activated. The problem I have is that my computer sleeps daily waking up for recordings. The wakeup process restarts the TV Server service and thus EPG collection does not occur. I tried setting a daily 1 minute manual recording and leaving the computer running for 5 hours. The computer woke up, recorded OK, was idle for 5 hours but no EPG collection was attempted. It seems that recording does not activate EPG grabbing even though it performs timeshifting. Does anyone have any ideas on this? [/QUOTE]
