[QUOTE="doveman, post: 820381, member: 67412"] But what about the scenario of a user who doesn't use MP to watch TV very often (maybe watches videos/listens to music) but wants to use it to record TV sometimes. Therefore they need the EPG to be kept up-to-date, and if "Grab when idle" is disabled for whatever reason it never will be. So if there was an option to update at e.g. 06:00 (which ignores/overrides the "Grab when idle" option) this would sort that out, without having to allow MP to grab the EPG whenever it feels like. As for what happens if the tuner is busy at that time, I'd suggest that a "If busy, perform grab as soon as possible" function would cover that, so if there is a recording being done at 06:00, once that's finished the grab would be done before the system was allowed to go back into standby (according to whatever the Windows/Powerscheduler settings are). Perhaps this will all become unnecessary with 1.3, but if this can be done in the meantime it can always be removed once it becomes unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
