[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1255427, member: 141969"] Very strange. I guess that this was using WebEPG? Possibly a temporary error on their part. I think that I would describe EPGs as an "inexact science". :( The broadcasters provide EPG info which is inconsistent or incomplete. :mad: As a result, I find that it is necessary to review over the morning cup of coffee the recordings that are scheduled for that day, and make corrections as necessary -- cancelling repeats of programmes recorded earlier (e.g. the second broadcast of "The Life Scientific" on Radio 4), or adding series-record reservations for programmes where there has been a change in the programme title (e.g. the recent Chris Tarrant Railway series, where an extra colon appeared in the title halfway through the series). :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
