[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1287294, member: 141969"] For the DVB EPG (the EPG that is broadcast embedded within the TV signals), there is an [B]Always try to update existing entries[/B] setting. My understanding of this setting is that an EPG entry will be added to the EPG database [I]only if that timeslot is empty[/I]. The timeslot [I]is[/I] empty when the EPG for the day that is seven days in the future is added to the TV signals at midnight, but thereafter the timeslot is not empty. So any updates to that day's EPG that occur on subsequent days [I]will be ignored[/I]. For the UK DVB EPG, it is quite common for certain types of programme to have generic descrptions initially, and for these to be changed to more-specific descriptions nearer the day of broadcast. The description in the EPG database will not be updated if [B]Always try to update existing entries[/B] is disabled. One might speculate that [B]Delete old programs before import[/B] for WebEpg has an effect similar to [B]Always try to update existing entries[/B] for DVB EPG. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
