[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1282612, member: 141969"] On my system in the UK, I find that it takes around 15 minutes to grab the entire EPG (varies from day to day), [i]but then it takes another 15-20 minutes to update the SQL database containing the EPG data[/i]. I believe that "TV Server" stores the EPG data in RAM whilst the grab is happening, and once that phase is complete, TV Server performs the database updates. In my HTPC, the SQL database disk and the recording disk are separate disks, so there is never any contention for access to the disk (there is only contention for access to the PCI/PCI-Express bus, and I guess that that is so fast that it does not matter). Do you need to grab the EPG while watching or recording? An alternative would be to grab the EPG once per day at a fixed time when the system is idle. You can configure "PowerScheduler" to wake the system to grab the EPG at a time chosen by you. Grabbing the EPG only once per day means that you won't receive last-minute updates to the EPG (for example, when live sport overruns its scheduled time slot, causing subsequent programmes to be rescheduled). However, does that happen often enough to make it an annoyance? -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
