[QUOTE="Hazza06, post: 1299829, member: 163766"] understood, and thanks for sharing the UK best practice for optimized EPG grabbing suggestion, this is really useful, i've increased idle EPG grabbing timeout to to 15 minutes, as my PC OS runs on SATA3 SSD, recordings on a separate dedicated 100GB SATA3 SSD, and RAM disk for live TV timeshifting, it's lightening quick, so i'll see how it goes. I'll closely monitor it in next few days to see if it needs increasing. I can already see how un-optimized my EPG grabbing configs were, and how much more efficient you suggestion is..thanks again for sharing.
