[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1108488, member: 141969"] The tentative supposition so far in this thread is that there is some problem when MP needs to display the EPG and TV Server is simultaneously grabbing the broadcast EPG. But that may not be a correct supposition. I am afraid that I do not know anything about Schedules Direct. Is it one of those solutions whereby you download data from the internet, convert it to XML, and then import the XML file into MP/TV-Server? If so: (1) Does the import process always run at a time when no one is using the HTPC? (2) Does Canada TV have a broadcast EPG and you have forgotten to disable EPG grabbing? (For example, in Win7 Media Center it is possible to use [i]both[/i] the MIcrosoft downloaded EPG [i]and[/i] the broadcast EPG; WMC uses the latter to fill in holes or last-minute changes in the former.) If you are 100% sure that TV Server is not doing anything EPG-related when you try to display the EPG, that would be an important further datum to help identify the source of this problem. Workaround? Don't rely on the red dot in the EPG to indicate what is scheduled to record. Instead, go to the "Scheduled Recordings" panel, and use the list there to see what is scheduled to record (that list seems always to be correct). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
