[QUOTE="splatterpop, post: 490667, member: 62445"] Hi tomtom, yes I have read these posts, but I had the impression that these plugins died a long time ago. I agree with you that a learning and adaptive tv guide would be a great thing to have. I have worked on that matter in another project before some time ago. My experience is that this depends very much on good tagging. In my opinion, the tagging provided by tv guides is often not very efficient, especially when you look at the dvb epg. The tags are very general and often misleading. Also, when a person likes to watch let's say documentations, there is still a large variety of kinds.
