[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1148935, member: 153283"] Hi CyberSimian Thank you for getting back to me. I think there are few issues that seem to affect UK users more than others. For example, UK programs quite often get 'New: ' prefixed to the program name and then half way through the series the 'New: ' is removed having the consequence that, depending on which series option was selected, further programs are not recorded. Despite asking how we change the EPG source within MediaPortal, it is somewhat frustrating not to receive an answer that would be of practicable help. It seems to me that the best way for me to resolve these issues is to fix them outside of the MediaPortal code. One caveat here, I am using SQL Server to store my program, recordings and schedules, so it's quite a simple matter for me to do this and I may not be able to help other UK users if they don't use SQL Server. Anyway, I've fixed the 'New: ' issue. I am happy to pay for an EPG tool so long as I can use it programmatically. If you want to know more about how I get on, then email me at [email]tony.vaughan@safehelp.com[/email]. I'm happy to share whatever I come up with. Tony [/QUOTE]
