[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1145730, member: 109222"] Hi. This is the normal and wanted behaviour. MP2 can not know what you want to do. For me, it's pretty normal to record anything before watching. I really hate the advertising and with recording anything I easily can skip the ads... Watching TV really "Live" is an extreme seldom use case here... And I'm not the only one, so it's nice to be asked. Same is if you press OK on any future program. Then also a requester appears asking if you want to schedule a one time recording or a recurring one.. As far as I know it has much better data especially for the US... Similar here in Germany. The average EPG data are mainly the name of the show and the time, that's it. If you want more, you need to add extra work and/or money. That's why much German people are using "Clickfinder". You can think of this as the "German SchedulesDirect". The other way to get rich EPG data is Webgrab++. This is free, but needs a lot of work to get it up and running. I was going the "hard way" with Webgrab++. It needs some time to download the EPG data, up to some hours daily (depending on how much my Internet connection is used while the grabbing runs). It can last some days to get it running the first time, if you are new to this kind of stuff. You need to fiddle with XML files, write batch scripts and similar.
