[QUOTE="gemx, post: 337058, member: 26324"] It's the way how EPG grabbing is implemented in TvServer. A normal Settop box grabs continouesly while being tuned to a channel. MediaPortal has 2 modes: - grab while the tv card is idle - grab while tv card is tuned (IT GRABS ONLY for a few minutes) The problem with STB EPG's is that after you switched your STB on, you only have EPG infos for the channels which are on the transponder you are currently tuned to. To check the EPG for channels on another transponder you first have to tune to it. So MP grabs all transponder's EPG while a card is idle to have the EPG for all channels at once after starting MP :) The drawback however is that you don't have always upto date EPG like in your case. But however i think how DELUXE MUSIC uses EPG is not how it was meant to be :S [/QUOTE]
