[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1304222, member: 141969"] OK, I now understand your post (I have reproduced that behaviour on my test system). If you create a channel group for HD channels (and no others), then when that group is the active group and you select a future programme in the EPG, you were expecting the "Upcoming Episodes" panel to show only episodes broadcast on channels in that group. Unfortunately that is not the way that TV Server works. I think that one can argue this both ways: [LIST] [*]If you have excluded some channels from a group, then in "Upcoming Episodes" you definitely don't want to see future episodes broadcast on any of those excluded channels. [*]If you have only a small number of tuners, and a recording from a channel in the active group would result in a conflict (more recordings scheduled than tuners available), you would want to see what other broadcasts of that episode were available in the EPG at a different time, and those other broadcasts might be on channels which are not in the group. [/LIST] I am undecided which behaviour is the "correct" behaviour, but the limited development resource available means that this behaviour is unlikely to change in the near future. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
