[QUOTE="jimbolina, post: 886100, member: 54521"] I often have this problem too. I was previously updating the EPG while timeshifting to try and always have the latest data, but found that caused a lot of recordings to be flagged as "Manual" when the EPG changed after the recording was scheduled. The freeview tvs and pvrs here are smart enough to be able to handle when a recording over-runs its schedule and adjust the recording time. I can't understand why something so primitive as a TV can outperform mediaportal in this aspect :) As you said, the updated EPG data is in the stream, so mediaportal just needs to respect that change when a recording is in progress. Obviously, I don't know anything about the internal operation of mediaportal's recordings to know if this is feasible, but I would hope that it catches up to the current standards set by hunks of plastic like tvs and pvrs. :D [/QUOTE]
