[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1121224, member: 141969"] I don't have any experience using a satellite tuner in an HTPC, so it is probable that some or all of the explanation in my previous post is inapplicable to a satellite system. :( If you grab the EPG for [i]all[/i] of the terrestrial channels (instead of just those channels missing from satellite), you could encounter the missing EPG highlights problem due to the high SQL transaction rate. It is unpredictable when missing EPG highlights will occur, because it depends on when "TV Server" decides to grab the EPG. On my system, I habitually wake the HTPC first thing in the morning to check existing recordings and schedule new ones, then listen to a radio recording whilst having a cup of coffee. Since I don't use "PowerScheduler" to grab the EPG overnight, the EPG is always overdue for a grabbing, and so I almost always encounter the missing highlights first thing in the morning. But the missing highlights can occur at any time. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
