[QUOTE="AlunS, post: 1020098, member: 116408"] On many German channels on Astra 19.2 which transmit a DVB EIT EPG, they use the "Short Event" field to give a short description of the program or an episode name, and then give the full description in one or more "Extended Event" fields. The DVB EPG parser takes all of these fields and just concatenates them all, which is correct for the "Extended Event" fields, as extra ones are just created as necessary when the maximum size of one is exceeded. However, the same is also done for the "Short Event" field as well resulting in the last word of that field and the first of the next one being concatenated with no space or punctuation between them which looks, well, a bit odd. See attached XML dump of one program entry using TransEdit ... [/QUOTE]
